Supporting Bush is immoral--reason number 3
He lied about Bob Jones Univesity.
At a news conference in Florence, South Carolina in 2000, Bush was asked whether he wished he had spoken out against Bob Jones University's interracial dating ban when he visited the school, and his reply was that he wasn't aware of the policy.
Bob Jones III called Bush Sr. a" devil" when the elder Bush president suggested the university should lose its tax-exempt status because of its treatment of African Americans. The controversy was in the news for years. W. Bush has never forgotten any slight against his father, and, in fact, has generally been in charge of all vengeance against his detractors.
The lie was transparent, and--as always--he was allowed to get away with it.
