Bush is a bald faced Liar
BUSH MISLED NATION IN LAST DEBATES
As President Bush takes the stage tonight for the 2004 presidential debates, America will be reminded of all the promises Bush made - and subsequently broke - in his debate performances throughout 2000.In a 2000 debate, Bush said that "by far the vast majority [of my tax cuts] go to the bottom end of the economic ladder." According to the nonpartisan Citizens for Tax Justice, when his tax cuts are fully implemented in 2010, the top 5 percent of income earners will get more than half the tax cuts while the bottom half of Americans will receive less than 8 percent of the benefits.[1]In a 2000 debate, Bush said he believed gay marriage is a state issue.[2] Then in 2004, he proposed a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.[3]In a 2000 debate, Bush promised not to overuse the military, saying "if we don't stop extending our troops all around the world and nation building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road, and I'm going to prevent that."[4] Now, because of Bush's actions in Iraq and efforts to cut soldiers' pay,[5] the military is facing recruitment gaps,[6] morale problems,[7] and troops who are stretched far too thin.[8]Sources:1.
