I came across an excellent new website,
www.howbushoperates.info, that documents the ethical misdeeds, secrecy, conflicts of interest, and outright lies of the Bush administration.
I've included a short excerpt below. Please spread this URL around!
I am concerned with the administration's:
1. Lack of honesty, which has brought about lack of trust.
2. Manipulation of information to further its goals.
3. Secrecy, which has kept the American public and Congress from making sound judgements.
4. Conflict of interest.
5. Lack of respect for others.
6. Lack of reasoning and compromise --the administration's way of responding to differing views seems to be to ridicule rather than reason.
7. Belligerent and arrogant attitude and mode of operation, which has cost our country the respect and compassion of the rest of the world.
I do want an administration that is forceful and strong. But that strong administration has to be:
1. Honest, trustworthy, ethical.
2. Respectful of all people and all nations.
3. Able to engage in dialogue and make decisions based on reason.
4. Without conflict of interest.
5. A Uniting force, rather than one that divides.
Everyone -- Democrat, Republican, Green, independent, etc. -- should be alarmed at what this administration has done and what it may do in the future, if re-elected. A resounding defeat in November is the only way to let the world know that the United States people do not tolerate such an administration.
