Even though he has lied a lot, much of George Bush's trickery and deceit are in the form of half truths, twisted facts, propoganda and bias. Can't you just admit that he has done this, maybe most of the time he does not flat out lie, but he DOES shamelessly bend and twist the truth to mislead Americans so he can go through with his agenda ? Do you believe intentionally and shamelessly misleading Americans is something a president should do?

When you admit that Kerry, Moore, Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Kennedy, Clinton (both of them), etc. do the same thing for the same reasons.
Sauce for the goose and all that...

Well I noticed, in your whole paragraph you did not include one example. Figures. The question is...why do you believe what the liberals are telling you?
The first week we went to war, did you hear one person exclaiming they are behind the President soley because of the WMDs? No the general consensus then was the Sudam was bad and had to go. Sure WMDs were marked as one of the main reasons. But after violating 18 UN resolutions and kicking out Nuclear inspectors several times, why would you be lead to believe they didn't exist?
We all realize this war was not a traditionally fought war. Our enemy is not a country, but radicals inside a country.I liken it more to a Police action than anything else. Not everyone likes war, some can tolerate it and some cannot stand the taste, no matter what. So when it was apparent that we were not going to have another 3week victory against terrorism, the liberals took that opportunity to talk a little trash. Is that too hard to believe? Rather than staying unified, the liberals in this country wanted the be the "I told you so" people. They wanted to be with us if we won, and against us if we lost. It is sad.
I wonder how many people out there remember the Democratic email that accidently got leaked to the press. It basically outlined an 18 month plan to discredit the President and Republican party. Is that too hard ot believe. That the Democrats no matter what the issue, could not let the Republicans be successful? See that is what they do. They do not put forth issue resolving legislation, or great ideas to fix Social Security, or improve our economy. Instead they play the politics game. Discredit the other team. That is their motto.
So with all the UN sanctions broken and Sudams increasing showmanship of defiance, do you think we shouldn't have gone over there, even without the WMDs? I mean he only gased and killed hundreds of his own people. He was known to actively be working on nukes. Do you side with caution and go in or do you sit on your hands like Clinton did hoping he doesn't have them?
Sudam, himself, admitted he purposefully sent out false intell that he was working on nukes. He did this to keep Iran (Arch enemy of Iraq) at bay. And can you believe were we got alot of our intell....yep you guessed it, Iran! See they were playing games to. It is now known they too were feeding us false intell. They wanted us to go it. (and do their dirty work) And we did. So why call the prez a liar. Sounds like he was mislead to me. But with good cuase, he went in. WMDs were found. Sure mustard gas and other weapons aren't the kind to make the Democrats cower in fear, but WMDs none the less. Sure, it would have been great to find those missing planes that the captured Iraqi generals claimed to have buried in the dessert, but all is not lost. There is some stability in the middle east. Funny, how the dems condemned our intelligence at the beginning of the war, but know want to use todays intelligence reports to say the war is not a success. LOL. It's a shame. So for me, I would be willing to say " if you can admit, that liberals are mindless drones who will buy whatever junk the dems are shoveling", I might be willing to admit that Bush did not find any real nukes.

You do realize that the leader of the free world does not have the ability to say everything they are planning or doing. Saying one thing could lead one country to agree but another country to object. The object is to keep as many people on board all the while creating a situation that you believe is the best interests of the country they are in charge of. This is why I honestly believe history will shine brightly on this presidency when all the facts are finally brought to light.
Every person I have heard talk about this has said off the record Bush is a completely different person than he puts on in public. This is why I believe he is a terrible liar. Not for the fact that he isn't telling the truth but the fact that he cant get his reasoning's out to the public without saying the things he isn't supposed to say clearly and as easilty as say Clinton who was a great liar.

Our president is a politician, the things you listed are not unique to any of them, it is in fact the most common denominator among all politicians. They lie, they twist, they confuse, cajole and manipulate on a daily basis. While I fully realize you would like to believe that George Bush is somehow unique in this I must ask you to stop and think for a few moments, rid yourself of all the propaganda your party of choice has foisted on you over the years, open your eyes and see what is there for all Americans that care to see. I, or any other person on ya could list accurately and honestly, dozens of incidents or situations where any and every politician on the books has done some or all or more than what you stated Bush has done.

Just because all politician sdo it does not make it okay to do. I voted for Bush and I now say that he has made some bad decisions. And he has not properly dealt with those bad decisions. Hindsight is 20/20 and no one can make perfect calls to please everyone when at that decision point. So, as each president has displeased a portion of the population, Bush is doing that now. He should try to fix his mistakes instead of bullheadedly following through to a nefarious end.

The Congressional Democrats made it sparkling that they have got been basically helping using rigidity after the different highway were exhausted. Bush became for sure agitating for warfare, with the myriad lies instructed in public, and the extravagant fearmongering led to by persistently elevating and reducing the phobia alert hues without sparkling explanation and the spreading of concern with the aid of soundbites approximately "mushroom clouds". The UN weapons inspectors had to flow away Iraq with their artwork unfinished simply by fact they mandatory to get out in the previous American bombs fell on them. they might have voted for the flair use of rigidity, yet bush became desperate to apply rigidity with or without their approval and had desperate to initiate the warfare lots until now.

The fact of the matter is, politicians (not just BUSH) do all those things you listed. Why do you think politics has such a bad rep?
If a person supports a person, they don't have to admit anything. Thats why its called an opinion. Can't you just admit that you don't have anything more interesting or productive to do than to whine about Bush?

Is there a politician anywhere who hasn't bent the truth and twisted facts? No there isn't. It's nothing new. It's been going on since the beginning of time.

I believe that intentionally lying to the public is wrong. I was not there with Bush, so I do not know what he knows.
You want to believe he lied. Liberals like you take the world as you see it and fit information to support this belief.

Hmmm. What about Clinton? Does that count. Seems to me Bush isn't such a liar when you compare him to past presidents.

I for one am a Bush supporter who is ashamed that I was a Bush supporter. For all of you who think that every politician is the same, do yourself a favor and 'Google Ron Paul' - don't believe me or the thousands of others who have read what he believes in and believe that he is not a liar. Only you can decide that. I only ask that you research his positions and to decide for yourself if RP is a politician you can support without feeling bad about it.
