Propaganda Can't Hide the Facts

SNIP:
When you cut through the hype, the propaganda, the spin and the talking points that spill out of the Republican National Committee offices like diarrhea, you’re left with a simple, sad fact: the man who promised in 2000 to give America “the most ethical administration in history” instead delivered another corrupt White House where lies rule, cover-ups abound and ethics become politically expendable.

George W. Bush’s White House is certainly no better than those that preceded it and is, in some ways, far worse. Watergate destroyed Richard Nixon’s presidency but he still opened up relations with China. Iran-Contra left a black eye on Ronald Reagan’s two terms but he still played a central role in ending the Cold War. Bill Clinton’s sexual appetite left more than a semen stain on an intern’s dress but he oversaw the longest period of economic health in recent history and came close to peace in the Mideast.

George W. Bush looked like a leader when he led the country in the months following 9/11 but that legacy may well be lost because of the lies he used to justify an invasion of Iraq and the unfettered use of the power of the White House to try and destroy those who dared speak out against him. His lies and duplicity have sent more than 2,000 Americans to their deaths in a war that did not need to be fought and one that we most likely will not win.

In the end, his promise of “the most ethical administration in history” was just another lie – part of a legacy of lies that will forever define his failed Presidency.

Yup.
