4.0 out of 5 starsThe Truth About a Liar
By Edwin C. Pauzer VINE VOICE on November 19, 2006
Format: Paperback
For Americans who think George W. Bush may be the worst president we will ever have had in our history, this book will provide all the ammunition they could ask for. This book of twenty essays and a list of fifty lies are irrefutable. Readers may remember things they forgot already that made them detest Mr. Bush in the first place.

Detractors will make rationalizations that the lies are only the opinions of the authors, or that Clinton lied too. In no case will they be able to refute what Bush has said and done, which were deliberate attempts to deceive or misinform. The other point here is that Bush is the president, not Clinton, and no one died when Clinton lied.

They may add it demonstrates a pathological hatred for Bush, but it is also true that people have a rational hatred for him because he is a liar of the worst magnitude. This book documents them, and this is only about his first term. In fact, it may beg the question of how people could support a man whose lies have been so well documented yet ignored or discounted.

Bush's lies, mischaracterizations, omissions, have been raised (or lowered) to an art form:

While running for the republican nomination, Bush stated that as governor, Texas had the most comprehensive health care plan in the United States. What he failed to mention was that he vetoed the bill twice. His second veto was overridden and he left it on his desk, unsigned. He lied.

When asked point blank about a drunk driving conviction, he refused to answer the question and used a deflection about who might have let the information slip so close to election day. He lied.

He sold company stock which he knew was going to tank. It did within the next two months. He violated the several insider trading laws.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsJust the facts, Maam.
By A Customer on June 7, 2004
Format: Paperback
"Big Bush Lies" is essential reading for any political junky who is in the mood to bash Bush, and who wants to have the facts to back up their anti-Bush arguments. Editor Jerry Bartlett was documenting online press accounts of Bush beginning almost with the announcement of his candidacy. Four years later, that treasure trove of research is now evident on each and every page of this impressive volume. Well researched, well sourced, and well written, this expose covers a multitude of lies told by Bush and the Bush administration and may well prove to the the definitive catalogue of Bush Lies, simply because it is so comprehensive, and so well sourced. A must have resource for anyone interested in analyzing the Bush presidency.

5.0 out of 5 stars20 more reasons why the right is wrong!
By Peggy Brownstein on May 30, 2004
Format: Paperback
Lots of detailed info about Dubya's pathological distortion of the truth. This book is not for the small-minded. The essay's are well researched. This book lays out the facts (with backup documentation) and will inform the reader. This book will surely tick off the radical right, and once again they will react by demonstrating that they are a bunch of bullies and babies. This book will spur lots of discussion with those on the right who are capable of engaging in proper debate!

5.0 out of 5 starsVery well-sourced expose of the Bush administration
By Dave on April 19, 2004
Format: Paperback
This book is unique among the blasts of the Bush regime in that it is extremely well-sourced with footnotes, bibliography, etc. - in fact, to the point of overkill, as I doubt many people will wade through the exhaustive array of studies, reports, etc that document each and every lie. But, the fact remains, the documentation of the outrages of this administration are there. And they are solid. I mean, it is hard to refute the findings of the American Lung Association on the bad effects of air pollution, or argue with 60 Nobel prize winning scientists' assertions on Bush's misuse of science.

5.0 out of 5 starsComprehensive view of the way the Bush Administration works
By Christine on June 25, 2004
Format: Paperback
Big Bush Lies really covers the bases. It covers virtually all aspects of policy domestic and foreign and covers the years before Bush was elected while he was still governor of Texas.
The theme of the book is the central role that lying plays in corporate ethics [sic] and the self-proclaimed vision of Bush as CEO of the country in which the citizenry are consumers of government products.
The essays are well researched and extensive citations support the authors' positions.
