Lies, lies, lies
This video documents some of the lies of Bush and his cronies.
If you don’t need convincing that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld are all liars, send the link to the many Christians you know who think that they are all men of integrity.
Watch up to 4 minutes 15 seconds. The last part is not very good. Also a few Bush/Cheney-type vulgarities can be heard.

I personally think Bush is incompetent, but I don’t think you should have placed a link to such video in this site.
This is your website and do what you want, but a video with Sean Penn (Fidel’s and Hugo Chavez buddy) swearing and using the F word is hardly iron clad evidence for anything. It just shows the ignorance and emotion-based rationale of the Left. And what was the video anyway, but solely an anti-Bush propaganda? The emphasis here is not anti-Bush, but >, just what communists and dictators do. Their objective is hardly the truth; they only want to manipulate public opinion.
You noticed how many times the same “lie” was repeated? Was it to emphasize the point or to exaggerate and make the viewer think each lie is one occurrence? Lying is immoral, but there’s still a difference between lying once versus a dozen times, for example.
I like reading the posts on this site and I was hoping you wouldn’t resort to such trashy material to try to prove your point. Again, my beef is with the video itself, not with the fact that Bush made a mistake (sorry, “lied”).

Roger — yeah, I had the same question. And there are other problems too. Calling Bush and Cheney Nazis is historically upside down. National Socialism rose up to oppose people like Bush and his controllers.
However, what I found moving about the clip was the juxtaposition of Bush’s flippancy with the body bags. Even if his statements had been sincere (i.e. not lies) at the outset, his jocularity as the coffins line up show the real defect. That is actually the main proof in my mind that he was lying. A man that made such a mistake honestly would show some remorse and make some effort to undo the damage.
I wish our side could produce videos that made the good points without the other.

Tim, thanks for your comment. Your site is indeed thought provoking and I really enjoy reading it.
I find it interesting that the posts here oppose Bush and the Republicans, yet we as voters are left with very little choice. I’d love to hear your take on the “wasted vote syndrome”.
We have a two-party system in which we were trained (read: manipulated) to think that we should “vote against” our worst choice by selecting the party / candidate with the best chances to beat it. So, we’re bound to vote for the lesser of two evils, and not for the best candidate. Do we realistically have other option(s)?

Exactly my thoughts (#3). When he’s joking about
the justification for going into Iraq, the widows and fatherless kids are crying.
Instead of remorse, we get more lies.
If there was no connection between Iraq and the “terrorists”, no evidence of WMD, and no pursuit by Iraq to obtain nuke capacity, then why the body bags?
Because non-democratic states in the Middle East hate freedom. Oh the irony.

Quote in Roger’s comment: “I find it interesting that the posts here oppose Bush and the Republicans, yet we as voters are left with very little choice.”
Unfortunately, the candidate who offers a real solution to many of the problems that beset the US, Dr Ron Paul, has been airbrushed out of the picture by the mainstream media and corporate interests that feel threatened by him.
