Considering the Bush Admin. LIED to teens about reproductive health and contraceptives, (http://www.americanprogressaction.org/progressreport/2004/12/pr_2004-12-02.html ) do you believe the report that the US teen birth rate has dropped to a "record low"? (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070713/ap_on_he_me/teen_sex )

Well, according to the report, teen sex hasn't lessened any, they're just using protection, so obviously they aren't paying attention to Bush.

Liberals fall into one of three categories. First are the one who know Bush did not lie but say so anyway for political advantage. The Second know Bush did not lie and do not say he did. The Third have no idea what they are talking about and just repeat whatever the first category Liberals say. I know it is frustrating but that is the nature of the beast. For the fist category Liberals, the left leaning, socialist inspired Liberals, winning elections and the power it brings is all that matters. Whom they destroy, whom they mis-lead, what damage they do to the process does not matter. All that matters is power. Once the power is achieved all that matters is holding on to it and increasing it. If you go back in history you will see that issues like banning school prayer or legalizing unlimited abortions was never, ever going to happen by voter demand. Once these new wave Liberals got into positions of power, they did not hesitate to simply by-pass the voters and bring these unpopular issues directly to a very Liberal and Activist Supreme Court. Thereby shoving these issues down the general public's throat. As much as I hated seeing prayer removed from school, as much as I hated seeing unlimited abortion mandated, what I hated then and still hate today is the way the Liberals went about it. These people will do whatever it takes to force their minority views on everyone else. If that means filibustering presidential appointments that would be approved if brought to a vote or keeping the Senate open so the President cannot make recess appointiments, they will use any ruse, break any rule or violate any agreement as long as it achieves their stated goal. Merry Christmas! .

Socialism Alert!!!
Here is a good example of how the socialist movement has infected the liberal mind. Of course a drop in teen pregnancy is a bad thing, if you are a socialist. Socialism cannot succeed in America unless it A) Eliminates God and all the moral absolutism He represents. B) Rewrites American history to make us look like evil people oppressing others and C) destroying the model of the nuclear family which is married Father & Mother and legitmate children.
They A) push Atheism and moral relativism or human secularism, B) teach little American history in pulbic schools with an enphesis on the multiculturism which is necessary to dillute American culture. C) promote sexual promiscuity, homosexuality and deviancy. They redifine the family as anything they want it to be so that it no longer means anything. They encourage both parents to work and send their youngest children to day care to begin the insidious work of indoctrination and to weaken the natural bond between mother and child.

I could pick apart that 'American Progress' opinion piece and it's political agenda, but let's just say that 'Yes', I'm far more ready to believe a report from a less liberally biased source like the AP than I am the liberal propaganda machine.
You see, what American Progress' 'facts' fail to take into account is that they are just as guilty of Bush in cherry picking their 'facts' and spinning them with their opinion. Does Bush have an agenda? Sure he does. But to believe that American Progress does not is naive at best, but probably just ignorant. So, to use your definition of 'lie', "Considering that American Progress LIED to teens...do you believe the AP report that birth rates are down?" Uh, yeah. There's statistical evidence to back that up.
Next question.

And this whole premis is based on a statement from Henry Waxman, who aside from looking like the bat-faced boy in the circus, is a Representative from one of the weirdest areas of the Country and a rabid, flaming liberal. If I were looking for an honest unbiased opinion, that pogue would be the very last person I'd be looking at.

It is irrelevant if the Bush administration lied to teens or not.
I can't think of a single teen that would have been listening.

Are liberals disappointed by this report?
Would they like MORE teen pregnancies????? More STDs spreading about?? More children born into poverty because their parents are too young to get jobs and take care of them?
