Bush does it again....

[Vash02]

Well i got one more reason to dislike bush. Seems he knowingly lied to the public about the actual costs of his medicare bills.

http://www.misleader.org/daily_mislead/Read.asp?fn=df03122004.html

"During this time of record deficits, President Bush promised the country that his drug-industry backed Medicare bill would cost $395 billion.1 But just weeks after he signed the bill into law, his own budget office admitted that the bill would actually cost well over $500 billion.2 And today a new report shows that the President knew that the bill cost more than he had claimed, and yet he deliberately hid the information from the public until the legislation was already signed into law. "

Jeez your story from Moveon.org which was founded to put a democrat in the whitehouse is breaking a story. I don't see it on CNN, AP, Reuters, or FoxNews.

So basically you just linked a campaign ad to AO, not a news story!

Meh to me as long as its true, then i dont care who put out the info.

Cause CNN and fox aren't biased at all right?

Wait isn't Bush's cousin the president of Fox or something?

Sure it's true that's why it's all over the news.

Attack ads are always 100% truthful.

[Cryer]

I hate fox news. I hate MSNBC, too. I cant stand to watch anything but CNN.

I like Bush, tho.

And I hate attack ad campaigns, no matter who theyre directed at.

That is why I listed the AP and Reuters too!

And no, Bush's cousin is not the President of Fox. You do realize that Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch and that he is an Aussie don't you?

So let me get this straight, Bush is going to end up spending MORE on medicare than originally planned and the liberals are pissed?

[Rooster]

The crime is that medicare exists at all.

Yet here you are complaining that Bush is pending too much on it.
