1. Vote the story up

2. The Republican Modus Operandi

One lie is tragic. Hundreds of lies is a statistic.

Just where are all those holier than thou christian conservative moral absolutists who told us in the 90's how terrible it was for a President to lie? Come out of the klavern guys, we need to talk.

3. If anyone says Dems don't try to fight *, that's a lie and here's proof!

We have many really courageous Democratic reps...
The repukes don't let Dems bring bills to floor, keep them out of committees, take votes when no Democrats are on the floor etc...

4. Send it around

People who DON'T follow politics closely NEED to see this and understand it.

The title of the report is pretty eye catching....on a side note, just IMAGINE the media/public reponse if it was

"237 Misleading Statements by Administration about SEX"

Heh...the *media would be tripping over themselves

5. Outstanding

237 is just 3 more than the 234 days Bush was in office prior to 9/11.

(One of the great scams of the White House propoganda machine is act like the Bush Adminstration STARTED on 9/11/2001, not Innauguration Day)

6. Remember Bush taking August 2001 off?

The media has never really mentioned the fact that if Bush had been working instead of taking August off, perhaps the threat assessments would have been acted upon.

They KNEW something was coming and they kept vacationing in Crawford.

The ENTIRE month of vacation.

And they KNEW something was coming.

Steady leadership? I don't think so.

7. Every Dem talking head needs to repeat the number

every chance they get. When the repukes scream, read a few for them (they certainly don't want to hear the transcript). The theme of this campaign has to be: liar, liar, liar. All Bush has (and many analysts have pointed it out) is the assinine perception of being "honest" and a good Christian man. I've said to people for two years now that that is the perception we have to destroy by revealing the truth and shoving it down the people's throat every chance we get.

8. Uh oh. Bushie is going to be swoll..
