Editorial: Bush's lies won't catch up to him, they'll get you in the end

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- (OfficialWire) -- 02/04/05 -- Anyone who has read The Lies of George W. Bush (David Corn, Three River Press) already knows that the current President of the United States is a liar.

What is truly amazing is that despite his lies, George W. Bush continues to occupy a space in the White House.

It is perhaps a measure of the true state of the Union, that the American public have been able to forget that they didn't vote this man into office, that he lied to the world about the existence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, that he has illegally kidnapped and continues to imprison hundreds of innocent men (he thinks) outside the jurisdiction of any law or country and all the while touting the red, white and blue banner of freedom.

In just four years, the Bush administration has raped and pillaged the U.S. Treasury in support of those who brought them to power. Now in his second term, having retained his post under a further cloud of deceit and trickery, President Bush II now prepares to dismantle an American institution: Social Security as we know it. As this man lies his way through the process, consider that "The Bush Plan" will not fix the problem, it will make it worse.

Americans have become brain-dead
