Isn't lying to Congress a criminal act?

Meanhome: Clinton ? You have anything better to add?

Answer 1

It says exactly what you and I have been saying about George W. Bush from the beginning. He is a crook and a liar. More and more people are seeing that. It says that George Bush is not trustworthy to run the business of the country. With all the scandals, one right after the other including his lies to take us to war against the Iraqi people should we trust this man to escalate this criminal war. I think not.

Answer 2

Congress is well aware they are constantly being lied to, if they opposed this type of corruption. America would be the shiny city on the hill that all would aspire to. By merely keeping to the constitution, and the elected leaders keeping giant corporations and business honest. No American begrudges anyone getting rich, but to watch the ones we put in office turn and stab us in the back as they kiss the asses of corporate America, writing them easier laws to send our best jobs over seas. To do a victory dance at passing a law that effect maybe a few hundred Americans that will inherit more then 20 million and now thank the New World Order they won't be over burdened with that 3 million DEATH TAX. The rest of how ever are doing with less schols, police, paks are closing all social safety nets are being cut, even the V.A.'s at a time of war. Their sense of entittlement is so huge they do not even consider lying or rules apply to some of them...Mary/

Answer 3

President Bush speaks of securing the borders + President Bush pushes the North American Union = One lie, yet to whom? Canada and Mexico? Or to the yank people? The hyperlink under is a transcript of a speech made by way of President Bush on border protection and complete immigration reform in New Mexico final June. i think of there is been sufficient talk approximately securing borders. Time to handle it.

Answer 4

More importantly, what does it mean to have Bush's support?

"Heck of a job, Brownie" to Michael Brown, weeks before he "resigned."

"Both [Rumsfeld and Cheney] are doing fantastic jobs and I strongly support them" on 2 Nov 2006, just 6 days before Rumsfeld "resigned."

Maybe it says that it's Going, Going, Gonzales?

Sadly, it's nothing new. Gonzales has already lied under oath to Congress about warrantless wiretapping.

It means that we, as a nation, have become accustomed to being lied to -- particularly by this administration, which seems to believe that if a lie is repeated often enough, it will be accepted as truth.

Answer 5

There has not been an administration in living memory that has lied more, covered up more, been so secretive, or been so unconcerned with what is good for our country. I think all these guys must take sleeping pills each night because otherwise I don't know how they would sleep at night.

How could Newt look in the mirror knowing he was committing adultery while impeaching Clinton for a minor sexual indiscretion? I don't get it.

Answer 6

Bush and Gonzales are both rabid Zionists that have sold America out. They both have committed high treason against the United States and should be punished accordingly.

Answer 7

They all lie in this administration. Look at how much time the Republicans tried to impeach Bill Clinton because of a lie:)
Just like a pond, the scum is at the top.

Answer 8

Nobody said a word when the Clinton administration fired 126 fed attys.

Answer 9

One word: Impeachment.

Answer 10

It says Bush supports liars. But, we already knew this.
