Recession equals negative growth, while the economy is slowing it is still moving in a positive direction so how can it be receeding when it is still growing? Explain that one Mr. Wizard.

THE RECESSION

LIE: In his December 28th radio address, Bush claimed that the recession began before he took office. Both he and Vice President Cheney have repeated this claim during the reelection campaign. The Administration also unilaterally changed the method for calculating a recession to move the starting date of the Bush recession to 2000. This is even after President Bush is on record that “our economy has been in recession since March [2001]”. (Daily Mis-Lead 09.01.04, Center for American Progress Report 09.02.04)






FACT: The economy was still growing at the end of 2000, despite the incoming administration’s attempt to talk it down. The recession began in March 2001 during the first year of the Bush administration. This is even after President Bush is on record that “our economy has been in recession since March [2001]”.

Weren't the 3rd quarter of FY2000 and the first quarter of FY2001 both of negative growth? Negative growth equals recession, now who was "in-charge" at that time?

You're the one that can't handle facts, lame duck or not the facts stand and you are simply a Bush hater and know nothing of what you speak.

I notice you couldn't refute the WMD issue either. So go away son, come back when you have your own ball to play with.

LOL.....................look jr it's quite obvious you're to ignorant to hold a discussion so read these couple of hundred facts about WMD and other lies and get back to me .


Iraq Lies




IRAQGATE
How Bush Justified A War With Lies

The Bush Administration's Iraq strategy appeared to be based on the proposition that if you repeat lies enough times, people will accept them as facts. This pattern of deception and deceit rivals the Nixon Administration and, as former Nixon White House counsel John Dean points out, launching a country into war based on fabrications would make Watergate "pale by comparison."



In the September/October Columbia Journalism Review, David Greenberg cited BushLies.net as among the few columnists and Web sites that "framed the [Niger] uranium deceptions as part of the President's familiar M.O., which was to utter untruths with such nonchalance that no one could possibly believe he was deliberately

Believe what you want Slick, but the fact remains that Iraq was repeatedly found in violations of UN sanctions and in violation of numerous UN resolution mandates to the extent that Congress authorized the President to use force against them.

You can't deny that.

And look at the political bio of your source -
Quote:
BENNET KELLEY has been active in politics for over 30 years and was Co-Founder of the Democratic National Committee's Saxophone Club, its young professional outreach and fundraising arm, from 1992 to 1998. He has provided political analysis and insight to television, radio and print media ranging from KABC to the Washington Times.

Bennet also is the author of the essay President Bush: The False Prophet of the Christian Right which appears in Big Bush Lies: 20 Essays and a List of the 50 Most Telling Lies of George W. Bush (RiverWood Books 2004), a manuscript entitled Red, Right and wRong: Battling the Right in Cyberspace and an award winning political columnist who published over 70 commentaries since 2003 on a variety of issues.

Bennet launched BushLies.net in January 2003. The blog was cited in John Dean's Worse Than Watergate and other publications, praised by Columbia Journalism Review for being one of the few media sources to frame the [Niger] uranium deceptions as part of the President's familiar M.O. and discussed on countless chat boards.

Bennet has been involved with or raised money for President Clinton; Vice President Gore; Senators Barbara Boxer, John Edwards, Dianne Feinstein, Ted Kennedy and Claiborne Pell (his political mentor), Congressmen Harold Ford, Jr., Patrick Kennedy and Toby Moffett among others. He was an alternate on the Los Angeles County Democratic Party Central Committee from 2001 to 2002 and a Democratic Business Council representative at the 1996 Democratic Convention.

Bennet was part of a team honored by Human Rights Watch for petitioning the United Nations on behalf of Haitian refugees held at Guantanamo Bay and also was one of fifteen Americans selected by the German government to participate in the 1994 Worner Seminar pairing young leaders from America and Germany.
Yeah, you've got a real winner here.

The world is waiting for you (or any other douchebag) to present evidence Bush lied. Now go play with the other libtards. Better yet, go back to school and learn grammar.
