What I Don’t Get

The thing that I don’t understand is how blindly most Bush supporters are following Bush. Now, I understand you have to feel loyalty to your party, but when the leader of that party is as dumb and untruthful as Bush is, maybe it’s time to cross the line. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not attributing this to all Republicans, because I know a lot of Republicans who have seen with their own eyes, thought with their own mind, and come to the conclusion that Bush is dishonest not good for this country. It’s in plain black and white, but if you don’t believe my little rants, lets look at the evidence:

Bush Lies

On the Economy: GEORGE BUSH: “… we will not pass along our problems to … other generations.”
THE TRUTH: $1.9 trillion in new debt over 5 years, with deficits continuing thereafter.

ON TAX CUTS:

GEORGE BUSH: “The tax relief is for everyone who pays income taxes … Americans will keep, this year, and average of almost $1,000 more of their own money.”
THE TRUTH: More than half of all taxpayers get less than $100. And 31% of all taxpayers get nothing at all

ON JOBS:

GEORGE BUSH: “Our first goal is … an economy that grows fast enough to employ every man and woman who seeks a job.”
THE TRUTH: Bush is the first president since Hoover to preside over an economy that has lost jobs, not created them – more than 2.9 million since 2001.
Bureau of Labor Statistics: Data Query-seasonally civilian unemployment; Feb. ’01 (5.99 million), Aug ’03 (8.905 million)-net unemployment is 2.915 million.

ON THE ENVIRONMENT:

GEORGE BUSH: Environment: “[My] Clear Skies legislation that mandates a 70% cut in air pollution form power plants over the next 15 years.”
THE TRUTH: The Bush plan will allow more than 100,000 additional premature deaths by 2020 than alternative legislation developed by theEnvironmental Protection Agency. The plan does not regulate carbon emissions and allows far more sulfur and mercury emissions.

ON EDUCATION:

Or Iraq
10 Appalling Lies about Iraq

Not to mention EVERY person that has investigated anything to do with Iraq has said it is unwinable in a war(even Daddy Bush), IRAQ HAD NO TIES TO AL QUAEDA OR SEPTEMBER 11th, and IRAQ HAD NO WMD’s. That is everyone EXCEPT Bush and Cheney.

I could go on and on, but what is the use? The Bush supporters will see that and won’t believe any of it. Why? I don’t know, maybe because it wasn’t on Fox “News.”

By the way, I voted today, via the absentee ballot.
