2. And isn't it truly sad
Edited on Thu Mar-29-07 10:15 AM by BOSSHOG
that in the long run it really is hard work to continue to lie. And to fear the truth is really pathetic for those who call themselves members of the party of integrity.

3. A government that will lie in order to go to war will do pretty much anything.
They will lie whenever it suits their needs.

This is a dangerous government, and one that should be removed immediately.

It is against the Constitution, and therefore against the United States of America. It's time to clean house, folks!

4. Our government has been lying about the economy for almost 50 years
It got worse under raygun, then took another step toward fantasy land under Clinton until it finally entered the realm of pure fiction under Arbusto®.

6. Not that I know of, but he (his administration) did fudge unemployment and inflation numbers
in the same way each administration has done since Kennedy, by changing the calculations and formulas used to generate the reports.

This is the first administration to actually make shit up and actively hide the data.

7. Oh, these guys lie about everything - expect it.
I do not believe anything that is put out by this govt. In fact I always expect that the absolute opposite is the truth.

I cannot think of one thing that they have been above board on - absolutely everything they do is spin.

But it is catching up with them. This adm. now has no credibility. No one believes anything they say.
