Did GW Bush introduce to us 1000 Points Of Lies?

A study by the Center For Public Integrity has identified 935 false statements made by the Bush administration in just two years. Over the 7 years he has been in office that represents a ratio of 1 lie for every soldier that has died in Iraq or almost 4000 lies. Basically they have lied to us more than once a day for every day since they have been in office. Many of us are not surprised by this revelation and are just ready to move on. But this represents one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated on the USA by a sitting President. Should we just do nothing and allow him to get away with it? George HW Bush tried to improve America with his 1000 Points Of Light. Did his son misunderstand the last word of that initiative?

Study: False statements preceded war

    Is the Center For Public Integrity a branch of Moveon.Org? If they are going to tally "false" statements by the Bush Administration they should start counting similar statements made by the Clinton Administration as early as 1998 and continuing up to when they gave approval for President Bush to invade Iraq. When no WMD's were found, the Democrats acquired selective memories and put the onus on Bush for what they now labeled as an "illegal war".

    So what happened to Saddam's WMD's? The main suppliers of Saddam's WMD's were the Russians. In order to avoid bad propaganda, the Russian destroyed and removed all evidence of WMD's in Iraq.

    Center for Public Integrity is a bastion of far left liberals and liberal propaganda.

    Wise up and don't be so stupid and naive. Why is it every time the Liberals are the last to know what they are even quoting for truth? Simply amazing!

    Despite its claims to be a nonpartisan news organization and profession of the Society of Professional Journalists code of ethics, the Center has been accused of bias towards left-wing political causes because it has accepted money from organizations and individuals that favor liberal policies and/or actively oppose right-wing political causes.

    This group is funded by the same man (George Soros) that funded the extreme left wing group MoveOnDotOrg, the origination to prevent the impeachment of Clinton that now claims to be an anti-war group.

    It gets funding from the far left liberal, Funding from Bill Moyers.

    Writing in The Wall Street Journal in March of 2005, commentator John Fund accused the Center of being a member of what he termed the "campaign finance lobby." Citing a speech by Sean Treglia, former program manager at Pew Charitable Trusts, Fund argued that a "stealth campaign" by "eight liberal foundations" fomented a false sense of public demand for new restrictions on the financing of public campaigns. In the course of his essay, Fund singled out the Center as a front group pushing Pew's agenda.

    DIRECTORS:

    Bill Buzenberg - Douglas Bennet, who was Director of the Agency for International Development under Jimmy Carter, appointed his long time friend and London correspondent Bill Buzenberg to NPR Vice President for News

    Hodding Carter - Carter was an unabashed supporter of the Kennedy's and their quest for the American presidency -- all of them: JFK, RFK and Teddy. He had dinner with Bobby Kennedy and his family the night before RFK was assassinated. He was also working for him "campaigning, making talks, and writing ghost speeches."

    Bruce A. Finzen - Donates numerous times to the Robins Kaplan PAC Democratic election fund.

    Bill Kovach - Bill Kovach is a former Washington bureau chief of The New York Times.

    Paula Madison - Paula Madison's brother (Elrick Williams) raised controversy when his 2-year-old toddler donated $2300 to Sen. Barack Obama, along with every member of his family.

    Geneva Overholser - Geneva Overholser resigned her seat with the National Press Foundation in protest over them naming Fox News’ anchor Brit Hume Broadcaster of the Year.

    You sound like you write left wing Bumper Stickers for a living. You know, Democratic Congressional leaders had access to the same info, so that would mean they went along with the lie also...
