21. This is just another example of Bush employing Big Lie tactics:
Applying the principles of Josef Goebbels as refined by Karl Rove and Grover Norquist, Bush often makes gestures that -- on further investigation -- are proven not only meaningless but false and therefore deliberately misleading. While the Iraq War is the most obvious example, Bush's action on the Rosa Parks statue is another, since Bush's own Justice Department is working hand-in-glove with Republican-resurrected southern segregationists to undermine the very voting rights act Bush falsely claims he wants renewed: Bush's own attorney general enthusiastically approved a harsh, expensive identification requirement imposed by the (GOP controlled) Georgia legislature -- a requirement clearly intended to eliminate impoverished and elderly voters, most of whom are Democrats.

Bottom line, anything Bush does that appears progressive (or even humanitarian) is a lie:
