Thread Name: BS: Thank you, Thank you, Michael Moore!
Subject: RE: BS: Thank you, Thank you, Michael Moore!
Back to the original question, Moore's wording at the Oscars: Mars, you can play with words--if "fictitious" wasn't the best word selection, how about "fraudulent?" As in "the U.S. has gone to war for fraudulent reasons as presented by the Resident of the U.S." Regardless of the wording, Bush has put U.S. troops in harms way for a piss-poor reason.

Perhaps we should just cut to the chase: If Bush will call an end to this war, we'll stop taxing the income of the top 1% earners in the U.S. so he can stop using corporations and political clout to pull all of these combative strings to get richer and richer. (Robbing Peter to pay Paul--if you can't get it from the tax rolls, get it from the "rebuild Iraq" budget). We'll just let the rest of the population pay their regular taxes instead of this fraud that allows everyone to experience tax "cuts" when in fact it's simply sleight of hand to keep the rich from paying any taxes. This is all a classic case of "Wag the Dog." And its a colossal insult to the world that he's getting away with it.
