Will Bush lie about anything to win? Will anyone ever question him? The lies are so blatant, so ridiculous, that anyone who spends even the slightest amount of thought on them will see right through it. Take this blatant lie from a recent speech:
The newest wrinkle -- the newest wrinkle is that Senator Kerry has now decided we're spending too much money in Iraq, even though he earlier criticized us for not spending enough.
Obviously Kerry is being taken out of context by comparing statements about two completely different issues. The first is a statement about how we could have saved a lot of money for domestic concerns by not going into Bush's stupid Iraq war in the first place. The second was him saying that, now that we had going into Iraq, we should make sure the troops are well funded. Duh. To believe Bush on anything is to believe blindly. Even a cursory investigation of what he says expose fundamental lies and distortions.
Whatever happened to the value of critical thinking? Must we all suffer under the Republican notion that thinking about issues is a sign of weakness? We were blessed with thought for a reason, we ought to use it.
As an American, after being reminded yesterday of 9/11, I weep for the lost opportunities and blatant misuse of public trust that occurred after our national tragedy.
