I do not trust George W Bush

George W. Bush and his campaign continue to distort and mislead the public, and appear to be taking some actions that are at least unethical if not illegal. Consider:

• Bush Tried To Install Crony At Florida Election Board
• Bush To Alter Economic Stats Again
• Swift Boat Vet Got $40M Contract From Bush
• Bush Misleads on Global Warming

For those (like the senile Zell Miller) who believe that we should support the President no matter what, and who might dismiss the above articles without reading them, please note that these brief articles each list the sources for the various statements (sources include the White House web page, Business Week magazine, CNN, and many other respected sources).

Last night I forced myself to watch the Republican Convention. I had honestly thought that at least Bush would stop trying to associate Saddam Hussein with the attacks of September 11, 2001. No weapons of mass destruction have been found. No link between Saddam and al Qaeda has been found. We do know that 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11/2001 were Saudis and that Osama bin Laden was behind the attacks. So last night Bush stated:

"...We knew Saddam Hussein's record of aggression and support for terror. We knew his long history of pursuing, even using, weapons of mass destruction. And we know that September 11th requires our country to think differently..."

Bush did not directly state that Saddam was behind 9/11; he did, however, intentionally mention 9/11 and Saddam in adjacent sentences, giving the impression to many who don't bother to listen carefully - that the 2 are related. This is just one more reason why I have no respect whatsoever for Dubya. Clinton cheated on his wife - in the White House - and lied about it; the Republicans impeached him for that. Dubya lies and misleads about war, resulting in the deaths (so far) of at least 12 THOUSAND people (11,000 Iraqi civilians and 1,000 coalition forces) ...and the Republicans say "Four more years!" WTF?!?!

Right: lies, lies, lies. I listened to most of it on the radio, since I can't stand looking at him anymore.
