Supporting Bush is immoral--reason number 1

He lied about his criminal record.

During the 2000 election, while flatly refusing to discuss his cocaine use, Bush did acknowledge he'd had a drinking problem by saying "When I was young, I did a lot of foolish things." No problem. However, when a reporter asked him if he had a criminal record after 1968 (when he was arrested for disorderly conduct), he said he did not.

That was a lie. He received a DUI when he was 30--hardly a youth, by the way. And who can forget the dizzying spin of Karen Hughes after the media reported Bush had lied (one of the few times the media has acknowledged his lies, by the way)?
