Bush isn't just misinformed, he's clearly lied.

The primary lie to remember is that he's misled so many Americans into believing that Iraq was linked to the September 11th Attacks!  That's totally false - the 9/11 report confirms that.  Faerenheit 9/11 is a movie that illuminates facts that are not learned from watching Fox News.  If you want balance you have to look at all the angles.

Bush is taking advantage of Christians for their votes by playing on the abortion issue.  He's had 4 years with a Republican Congress, as have all the Republican presidents since Roe v Wade in 1973.  Abortion as a whole is settled law; considering it otherwise would be like voting against Bush-Cheney because Cheney opposed the Equal Rights Amendment.  That's settled law, and has been for decades.  He didn't do anything to stop embryonic stem cell research and he hasn't put any more funding into it . . . talk about not taking a stand.  He's not defending the lives of the embryos and he's not supporting the research either.
This is why I'm voting on what is at issue in this election, I cannot in good conscience support a President who has lied to the people and totally undermined democracy.  I also find many of his policies anti-Christian, such as but not limited to the war in Iraq, taxes, and healthcare.

God willing, I will vote for Kerry on election day.

I am realizing more and more that President Bush and his administration has been lying about very important issues and taking advantage of good Christians.

There may be debate about what the Jesus teaches about some issues, but clearly lying is wrong.

I am one who thinks that our country's government depends on the public being honestly educated about current political events. Over the past four years the exact opposite has taken place.

Many Americans support attacking Iraq after believing a series of lies from the Bush Administration. As our source of information about terrorism, war, and foreign policy, the administration encourages a series of misconceptions that lead directly to their unfounded support.

http://www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Iraq/Media_10_02_03_Report.pdf

The report at that link is an interesting study. It demonstrates some grave misconceptions held in this country.

Many people think that Iraq was directly involved in the 9/11 attacks.

A good number have been fooled into thinking we have found stockpiles of WMD in Iraq since the war ended.

Numerous Americans think most people in the world were not opposed to the US going into Iraq even w/o UN approval.

It also shows some interesting facts, like you are much more likely to have these misconceptions if you primarily watch Fox News. We are constantly getting lies from numerous sources, it's very hard to tell what's true and what's not.  Though I found a lot of things I didn't agree with in Michael Moore's movie Faerenheit 9/11, I also found that it presents a lot of facts that are not commonly known unless you watch a ton of C-SPAN or something.  However, the more critical and scary fact that the study I was talking about demonstrates is that that you are tremendously more likely to support the war if you have these misconceptions. Duh! Who wouldn't support the President if they though that Iraq sent people to attack us on September 11th, that Hussein had tons of nuclear warheads, and that the rest of the world is wishing that we'd go in . . . just that pesky UN trying to hold everyone back.

The Iraq war is only one of a long string of deceptions. I cannot vote to reelect a liar into office. These sorts of lies hijack our government and render our democracy ineffective. How can you vote for the best candidate if you're not given the right facts?  How can you trust someone like this and how can you consider him moral?
