not everyone. just those who can't see beyond flag-waving or those who are being manipulated by the neocons fear-mongering.

Absolutely.  Every "lie" I've checked out has turned to be a lie manufactured by Democrats.  \n\nA few examples:\n\n1) 'Hussein's govt tied to the planning of 9/11' -- he NEVER said that!  (I've read his speeches and it just isn't there.  From the beginning he spoke about the regime's various ways of supporting terrorists with money, camps, logistics, etc, NOT specifically the planning of 9/11..  and he said on Sept 22 2001 that he would go after states that HARBOR terrorists --as Iraq did!) \n\n2) 'Sent us to war only for WMDs.'  Again, I have read the actual resolution Congress passed authorizing him (have you read any of these things??!)and it lists MANY reasons; similarly, Bush gave a number of reasons (and was, in fact, criticized by the press at the time for NOT focusing on just ONE clear reason!)\n\n3) 'Said Iraq had WMDs, when he KNEW they did not.' It takes virtually NO research to discover that the Clinton administration, most in our intelligenct agencies, and major governments & intelligence agencies around the world widely agreed that Hussein DID have WMDs... for YEARS before Bush became President \n\n4) Going back to the one that started it all -- 'Stole' the 2000 election -- no, Gore TRIED to steal that election (though he NEVER led in a single recount, cherry-picked heavily Dem counties with Dems running the machinery for his recounts; said he wanted 'every vote counted' then fought to throw out hundreds of military absentee ballots on every manner of technicality; expressed outrage over claims of 'disenfranchisement' though a LIBERALLY dominated Civil Rights Commission could find NO evidence of this, started numerous court cases [and lost in EVERY court but the Florida Supreme which was ALL liberal Democrats])   [Also, DEMS have lied about the final Supreme Court decision which, on the SUBSTANCE of the complaints voted 7-2 in Bush's favor; the 5-4 decision was simply that there was not enough time for the problem to be remedied]\n\n5) Add all the other DEM lies & deceits  -- about the NSA program as 'domestic spying' (it is not) or being in violation of the law (FISA judges and the Supreme Court have said otherwise); talking about how horrible the economy is (ignoring widespread growth and VERY low unemployment) and presenting ONLY the difficulties in Iraq, not its successes (claiming that Bush declared it would all be a 'cakewalk'.. when he in fact said it would be difficult!);  offering support to Michael Moore (whose movie, even a number of liberal reviewers acknowledged was full of errors and deceitful inuendos [e.g. the whole Afghan pipeline thing, which happened under Clinton and ENDED in 1998!])\n\nSo, no, it is not BUSH's credibility I call into question!  (and this list was just a quick, off-the-top-of-my-head thing)  I do not agree with all his policies (esp. allowing spending programs to grow unchecked), but went he announces a decision he IS a man of his word and doesn't blow with the poll winds to help his numbers ... like some.\n\nI love the fact that on the internet it is possible to research a lot of these claims -- to go back and read ACTUAL speeches, laws, reports, etc.  and find out what was REALLY said,  not what the Dems and those in the media pushing their views claim was said.  (Before that I often had questions -- now I can read these things for myself.)

the majority of americans are "sheeple" who have been conditioned to accept whatever the media presents to them as truth. look at how many people swallowed bush's lies about the weapons of mass destruction iraq was supposed to have had. i mean they were right, iraq once did have such weapons - our government had the receipts - they sold the weapons to saddam - who btw was trained by the cia - go figure

Dont worry Curious1, most of America isnt paying attention to the lies that are pumped out by the liberals, the only ones that listen are the people who never got over the election trauma.\nThese members of society and the senate are in deep denial, fantasy land..\n\n I just love to do this:\n\n  JOHN KERRY LOST!! \n\n That statement just sent 3 democrats to visit their therapists.

Well, I think that the US people are mostly to blame. We always get fixated onto our own 'domestic' issues, and hardly ever look outside the box. Our media giants never feed us the true news, and we have to spend hours searching on the internet to find the true story, but I still think we are too naive. There ARE much more important things than Iraq, like the genocides in Africa, but we never really care. Sometimes, it just gets me so mad. Then again, i'm only 13... PS. Thanks for helping me on my WWII question. I think yours was the best answer, but I accidentally clicked on Start a Vote. It's my first time using Yahoo!Answers,

For the same reason everyone says Bush is so dumb, yet he was elected president of our country!  Anyone who is paid close attention to is either loved or loathed it seems.

Of course he is, idoits are falling for this because they are simple minded and brain washed. Bush also lies about how he wants to help people, but waht about people in Hati. Theses people are suffering but too bad for them they don't have anything for Bush to take..

I think just the opposite, because if the country finds out they did lie then they would be out of power.\n\nI am sorry to tell you this,  but George Bush did not lie to you about Iraq and the WMD.  He really believed they were there.  Now yes we didn't find a big giant nuclear missile,  but he thought there were WMD there.\n\nI'm really sorry to tell you this,  but if government didn't want you to find out, they wouldn't tell the reporters who report the story.\n\nEverything you see in the media,  someone was chosen to leak it. It was orchestrated.\n\nThere are no "secrets" that these guys unearth in the media.  Everything you see was chosen by someone to be released.\n\nThey all play a game and dance about how "sources told us" but the reality is there was a decision to get that to the paper to make it a story.

It is certainly hard to keep the truth under wraps with the masses involved on the internet the truth eventually surfaces. The American people have been lied to and are still being lied to.\n\nThe answer is YES!!!!!

Who knows?  They lie to us all the time.  I don't believe ANYTHING on the media about this war stuff.  Even Bush doesn't seem convinced.  He knows that we MAY have got him, but either way the war still continues.

I wouldn't say that people have forgotten about 9/11, but there are some who are trying to blame it on President Bush.  It's too bad really, how the President gets the rap for everything wrong in our country, including no WMD's found in Iraq.\nThe fact of the matter is, the news media reports what it wants the people to hear.  Bad news (e.g. the deaths resulting from the war, the Iraqis who turn on the newly forming government) make the headlines, even when it's "10 Marines killed in Iraq".  Why don't they ever use this headline:  "No deaths today in Iraq" or "Iraqi people hopeful about future"?  Because, that's not what people want to hear.  Even if either headline is the truth.\nTruth is subjective, really.  It depends on who's reporting it.  To the terrorists, the West is evil.  To some Americans, the West is evil.  To the news media, the President is the most vile creature to have ever lived.\nThe opinions of the people (disapproving of the war in Iraq, the President's ratings) only show how effective our news media really is.  When was the last time they said ANYTHING good about the war or the President?  When was the last time that they listened to the soldiers who are now fighting for the Iraqis' freedom?  They're the ones I listen to, which is how I support what we're doing.  If Kerry had won (shudder), I would support him for continuing what we started, and what HE helped to start.\nIt's too bad more people don't see it that way.  Instead, they just want to blame President Bush for everything, say they support our troops and then state that we can't win this war, and believe the ridiculous headlines in the media which are only a half-truth.\nI'll take what the left-leaning journalists say with a grain of salt, and the right-leaning ones too.  Many Americans don't seem to realize that the truth is somewhere in between.  Believing the internet is no better than many of the regular news sources in the US.  They have their leanings, too, and there is no way to get unbiased news anymore.\nTHAT'S where the public is making their mistake, and that's why we're losing the propaganda war.  The news media DOES hate President Bush.  Why else would they call the disclosure of declassified information a "leak"?

Bush has been lying to us ever since he took the office in 2000. If you think that what you just told us is infuriating, watch this video.\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\nIf I read you right, you will be shaking with rage by the end of it. Keep spreading the word, keep asking questions, keep pointing out flaws. Only then can we get the son of a bitch impeached.\n\n\nPeace

NO!!if any of what bush told us before we invaded iraq was true then maybe i could condone being there???? but every single thing was a lie and was blamed on false or poor intelligence??? bull****!i am a retired naval officer from the first gulf war and i'll tell you like i told everyone from the start!! BUSH LIED!!!!!!! now he refuses to admit any wrong doing and our troops will continue to be killed for NOTHING!!! THE WHOLE THING WAS A SHAM TO START WITH!! every other country in the world knew that from the start. most americans followed blindly into a ideological, useless war that will only result in dead soldiers and trillions of our tax dollars spent to support a terrorist nation that WILL have another saddam running it within 5 years!! JUST WATCH AND LEARN PEOPLE!I'VE BEEN THERE!!!!!!!!

President Bush is complete lier, and a threat to the American people with his crazy lets go bomb every body attitude. I don't appreciate the Bush administration inflation policy with the over printing of U.S. currency and spreading it outside of the United States of America. Our deficit is triple and the highest of any former President, as a matter of fact, the Economist say it's as much as all the other American Presidents, all put together. Lying to America to gain access to another Country without a declaration of war, and the approval of the United Nations. No Osama Bin Laden, Saddam has been in custody for over 2 1/2 years, and Iraq doesn't have Government except for the U.S. Military. Allowing Exxon Mobil of Texas to profit 340 billion dollars for 2005. The Patriot Act is a piece of toilet paper the takes my civil rights away according to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States. George Bush has another bill on the block to take some more of my rights away, called the Constitution Restoration Act, that was written by Pat Robinson & Jerry Falwell, and the dirty tricks team. The man is a criminal to the United States of America and we want him impeached and imprisioned for his crimes to the U.S.A..

There's at least one American out here who agrees with you.  Such a sad state of affairs.  And the worst thing about it is that people can't see it.  Doesn't anybody look beyond the nice news stories the Republican-owned press keeps putting out?  For instance, http://www.democracynow.org (an independent media outlet) has a daily M-F show that goes beneath the surface on what's happening in the US and in other parts of the world.  We're conditioned to believe our beloved country can do no wrong... but it's time to grow up and open our eyes.
