I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history.

A lot of lies and exagerations and blanket statements here.

Daval · 05-22-2003, 07:50 AM

Most of it is truth though.

Although, to be fair, this same sort of list can be made for ANY president or politician. George just happens to look worse than most

Charlatan · 05-22-2003, 08:06 AM

The sad thing is that if the democrats can't mount a half decent candidate he will get re-elected...

All it will take is one good candidate...

splck · 05-22-2003, 08:12 AM

hehe, it makes for a fun read.

The_Dude · 05-22-2003, 09:56 AM

I agree, it's very sad

Lebell · 05-22-2003, 10:34 AM

Things taken out of context, half truths and out right lies.

Why bother with it?

To me, debunking crap like this is like debunking those who argue against the holocaust or evolution. It just isn't worth my time and most people already see it for what it is.

mtsgsd · 05-22-2003, 10:46 AM

Amen to that. People will always believe want they want to believe, but sometimes it's just way over the top for me.

I agree. This was already picked apart and beaten to death on my old EQ server board, and I'm not looking forward to rehashing the same idiocy again.

Mael · 05-24-2003, 02:12 PM

I wonder how many lies really are in here? A few people have said "it's been done before" but for people who haven't read it's debunking, it could be taken completely at face value. Obviously, it was written to make fun of the pres. and as a joke/satire (i highly doubt that whoever wrote it meant for it to be taken seriously). and from what i've read, it's not full of lies. I'm sure that some is exaggerated and taken out of context (and maybe some flat out lies, i don't know), but there is also some truth in what's listed.
