you know there is a difference between a politician saying and wanting to do something and convincing everyone else in power to do it. a lot of times it isnt because a politician lied, its because they cant flat out wave a magical wand and have it done. im sure there is a lot of things that they say that they try to get done but are stopped by other peoples ambitions.

not all are lairs, just cant get done what they want to.

"Knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof - the smoking gun - that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."

Source: President Bush Outlines Iraqi Threat; Remarks by the President on Iraq, White House (10/7/2002).

If that isn't a lie, then I don't know what is. Unless you're suggesting that Bush wanted a mushroom cloud over America, but Congress flattened his ambitions...

Sometimes it's not about failed attempts at policy change. Sometimes it's just a politician flat out lying to the entire country about the facts.

even though you guys claim that bush is a the biggest lair in the world, might i remind you, he is just ONE politician. it doenst mean that every single politician is a lair. that is what my statement was about. it wasnt on how bush never lies. i was saying that once someone gets into office, doesnt matter if their prez or a member of the senate, they cannot wave a magical wand and get the things they said done. not all politicians are cricked. thats the problem with people today. they have zero trust in their government, they have zero trust in politicians. ive heard more than once someone saying im not going to vote bc it doesnt matter, all the candidates are crooks. this is not true, there are good honest people on both sides of the political party. people have just got to realize that.
