BUSH MISLEADS ON OSAMA BIN LADEN
At last night's debate President Bush claimed that, contrary to Sen.
John Kerry's assertion, he never said he was "not that concerned" about
Osama Bin Laden. Bush chastised Kerry saying, "Gosh, I don't think I
ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. That's kind of one of
those exaggerations."[1] Bush was completely wrong.
At March 13, 2002 press conference, Bush said "So I don't know where he
[Osama Bin Laden] is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on
him...I truly am not that concerned about him."[2] Watch the video of

Elizabeth Edwards said of Mrs. Cheney: "She's overreacted to this and treated it as if it's shameful to have this discussion. I think that's a very sad state of affairs. ... I think that it indicates a certain degree of shame with respect to her daughter's sexual preferences. ... It makes me really sad that that's Lynne's response."

BUSH MISLEADS ON FISCAL RESPONSIBILITIES
In a speech Monday, President Bush advocated fiscal responsibility in government, saying, "we need to be wise about how we spend your money."[1] He is now poised, however, to sign into law a massive, $137-billion tax giveaway to corporate and special interests.[2]
The tax bill was originally created to fix a $50-billion export subsidy that had triggered retaliatory tariffs by our trading partners. Instead of simply repealing the subsidy, Congress replaced it with a $77-billion giveaway to corporations, many of which never qualified for the original subsidy.[3] It
also provides $43 billion in tax breaks for companies operating overseas,[4] including a giant break to top corporations like Hewlett-Packard and Eli Lilly that allows them "to bring hundreds of billions of dollars in untaxed foreign profits back into the United States at about one-seventh of the
normal tax rate."[5]
Lawmakers larded down the bill with pork for their favored special interests. The bill included million-dollar tax cuts for fishing tackle box manufacturers, Chinese ceiling fan importers, horse and dog track gamblers and Native Alaskan whaling captains.[6]

- I find this fascinating....not sure that I care as much as these people. Probably just a bunch of crap but make up your own mind. Make sure that you look at the comments for a "little" more balance.
- The NY Times and the BBC have picked up on the story.
