Generally do you trust what our government tells you any more?

[NNN0LHI]

And when I say government I mean our entire government which is made up of Dems and Repugs with a few exceptions.

[Solly Mack]

1. Fuck no

[Lindsay]

2. Not just no,

but HELL no.

They tell me the sun is shining, I look out the window and check for myself.

[Bluebear]

3. No, and it's depressing. Katrina was my tipping point . . .

Everybody has their own, but it was at that time that I realized we are on our own!

[Mythsaje]

4. HAHAHAHAHA

I never really did.

[Richard Steele]

5. No.

[jimshoes]

6. You need a choice for

Bwahahahahahah:rofl:

[bryant69]

7. As an entire government or as individuals?

I certainly don't trust Bush or Cheney or Hastert or Lieberman. But I'm on record as putting a certain amount of confidence in Pelosi, Fiengold, Reid, and others.

8. No.

Another victory for the repukes, federalists and the oligarchy.

[madokie]

9. hell no, not a chance of that happening anymore

its been a while since I could or did

[TahitiNut]

10. You mean the folks who piss in our face and tell us it's raining?

Why, of course!

:sarcasm:

[wryter2000]

11. I never believed what they said completely

I figured they were spinning and selectively reporting. Until Joseph Wilson spoke up, I had no idea they were outright lying.

They might be saying something true from time to time, but it's impossible to separate the truths from the fantasy and spin and the lies.

12. Not since 1964 and the Tonkin Gulf Resolution

Nor, do I believe that any citizen should believe and/or trust their government.

13. Mama didn't raise no fool...

...no. Google rex-84

[1620rock]

14. Not since grade school, and that was 50 years ago.

[SutaUvaca]

15. Absolutely not.

Not even the most well-meaning of government officials anymore is free from Chumpco's control of their information output. And of course, way too many of our government officials are NOT well-meaning in the least.

[bunkerbuster1]

16. Generally, no.

I accept that there are some excellent sources of information out there from the government, like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and so forth. But generally, as it is told to us by the elected government spokesmodels, no way. And even the most likable, decent-seeming Progressive types feel obliged to either sugar-coat or withhold information.

So, no.

[marlakay]

17. Not since they didn't listen to Richard Clarke

and pay attention and let 9-11 happen...and right after 9-11 when I could tell everyone was afraid to talk on tv...made me sick and when ABC canned Bill Maher for just being himself...it was like we were in a takeover and I hated it and have ever since....

[babylonsister]

18. Nope, and that makes me sad/angry. nt

[marlakay]

19. Not since they didn't listen to Richard Clarke

[guitar man]

20. I wouldn't believe them

If they told me they could piss and make it hit the ground!! :mad:

[Toasterlad]

21. No...But Then, I Never Did.

I'm a skeptic from a long line of skeptics. My grandmother used to say "It doesn't matter which crook gets in." I wouldn't go THAT far, but I do believe that ALL politicians, by definition, are liars.

[Javaman]

22. Or option #4, have you ever trusted what your gov't has told you?

[rucky]

23. Not unless they tell me to. n/t

[AlCzervik]

24. i didn't them before Bush and i won't trust them after his reign of error is over.

[ben_meyers]

25. NO! And I don't trust anybody over 30 either! n/t
