Admit nothing. Deny everything. Lie when you have to...

[kentuck]

Seems to be the credo of the Bush White House? Have they ever admitted doing anything wrong? Have they not denied every charge against them? Have they not lied over and over and over? It's a pattern everyone should be familiar with by now. The NSA spying and the Abramoff scandal are simply two of the latest examples.

1. Did Reagan? Did Nixon? Did Hoover? I rest my case.

2. There is no issue so great or so trivial

that this administration won't lie about it. ANYTHING they say has to be considered to be a lie until proved otherwise.

3. It's the Bart Simpson defense

I didn't do it, nobody saw me, you can't prove anything.

4. Admit nothing. Deny everything. Lie EVERY time...

They don't just lie when they have to. Though it would seem so, they actually lie as often as they can! Indeed, not only as often as they can, but they lie every time they speak--whether it's needed or not and regardless of whether it's plausible or not. Lie, lie, lie. Bush figures he's so omnipotent that he has no need to tell the "people" anything but what he finds convenient. We don't matter; our opinions matter even less.

As for denying things.... I can't recall them denying anything! As though to "deny" something would give whatever it is the merit of being recognized. Bush wouldn't bother to deny something since that might mean that someone is justified in even questioning anything he's said. How dare those peons question ME? I have no need to justify anything to them. They, being beneath me, cannot judge me anyway, so "denying" anything is just a waste of my time!

Admit nothing. That's more like it. It's better to ignore all comments that aren't pleasing. Such things are beneath conempt and certainly don't merit a denial MUCH LESS an admission! It's absurd to expect an admission of anything from HE who is ALWAYS RIGHT (and being G_d's messenger and soldier means he IS always right! right?). Ignore the puny noises from the peons.

Definition (in Bush's Mind): "The People"/"The Citizens of the United States"=="Peons" ("My" Peons).
