Milloy: If I Hear Bush, Then I Don't Believe Him
Courtland Milloy speaks the truth here, and points out Bush's repeated lies. Spread it far and wide:

I'd like to listen to President Bush's inaugural address tomorrow, but my hearing seems to have deteriorated so much over the past four years that I probably wouldn't understand a word he says.

For instance, during Bush's first inaugural speech, it sounded to me as if he said: "Our unity, our union, is the serious work of leaders and citizens in every generation. And this is my solemn pledge: I will work to build a single nation of justice and opportunity."

Take a look at the 2004 election map of red and blue states and tell me: Do I need a hearing aid, or what?

Back in May 2003, when Bush was taking questions from reporters about the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, I could have sworn I heard him say: "We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories."

1. in fact, the ONLY reason bush speaks is to spread lies
what's the point of speaking if you're only going to tell the truth? the WHOLE POINT of their press appearances, pr events, speeches, etc. is to spread lies.

2. Stop using the word "lie" when talking about Bush.
It doesn't work. Most people lie all the time and they practically expect their politicians to lie to them.

The Bush Administration is about "abuse of power," not lies.

3. I think he might really believe the things he says. Now that is scary.
He's definitely not reality based. He seems like a man led by ideology, dreams, and fairy tales of Utopia.
