Reply #10: Some of the patently false info in "the resume"

[GeekLife]

Here are just a couple things in the resume that are absolutely false.

Bush didn't execute a single prisoner in Texas. And I'm not playing funny semantics, claiming that since he didnt inject the poison he didn't kill him. The Governor of Texas does not have the power to commute sentences or grant pardons. The only thing the Governor of Texas can do in regardes to death sentences is to stay the execution for 30 days, one time. That is it.


Largest drop in stock market history? Not even close. Both in terms of single day drops or over a period of time. The loss in the stock market on Bush's watch thus far does not even make it into the top 10 losses in history.

Biggest energy crisis in history? Hardly. I would suggest and many would agree that there was a far worse energy crisis in 73-74.


Highest gas prices in history? Not even close.

Especially when you compare the portion of cost that is not taxes.


Presided over the biggest stock market fraud in history? Well, Presidents "preside". But the accounting fraud that took place happened prior to Shrubs taking office. No one has shown a single shred of evidence that he was a knowing accomplice in the fraud. And while were on the topic of presiding, Bush presided over the Marlins winning the world series! Did he have anything to do with it? NO!

I could go on and on and one with things in this "resume" that are wrong, false, lies, etc... Do some research and don't be so gullible as to believe everything you read.

As we people have agreed, there is plenty of truthful info out there. Far more than we will ever be able to use.

But when people start promoting false information, and those you show it to realize or learn that it is false, when you do come to them with the truth they are not going to believe you.
