President Bush asks Americans to work with him in his fight against terror. When facts are unavailable or uncomfortable, we are told to trust his judgment. Why should we be so willing to follow his lead?
Why will tax cuts for the wealthy benefit everyone? Trust me, even though it didn’t work in the 1920s or 1980s.
Invade Iraq because Saddam has WMD and ties to al Qaeda? Trust me, they do!
The Iraqi people will greet our troops with flowers? Trust me, not my advisors who warned of a potential civil war.
His political appointees: Harriet Miers, Michael Brown, or Tommy Thompson?
Trust me, they were well qualified!
He didn’t know Jack Abramoff or Ken Lay? Trust me, not the pictures.
He’s a “Compassionate Conservative” or the “Education President.” Support the “Clear Air Initiative,” “PATRIOT ACT,” “Healthier Forests”? Trust me, these aren’t just snazzy names.
Global warming isn’t caused by human activities? Trust me, I am oilman, I would know!
And now – the latest: we are “fully prepared” for the Hurricane OR “no one anticipated” how bad things would be?
Can we trust this man and his party any longer?
