LIE OF THE WEEK: 05-30-2008
White House Spokeswoman Dana Perino on President Bush and the 2008 election:
"President Bush isn't on the ticket... As the President said, he will do as much or as little as anyone needs him to do to help elect Republicans. But at the end of the day, any candidate who's running for office has to stand on their own two feet and they have to chart a course for themselves. Every election is about change -- go back through history and every single one is about how things are going to look in the future. "
THE TRUTH: Regardless of his name literally not being on the ballot, this election is all about the miserable failure of the Bush Administration and whether this conservative-leaning country will have to suffer through a liberal administration in order to remove the stench of the corruption brought by those who claimed conservative values while promoting only their self-interests against the interests of the American people. If President Bush had been a good or even decent president rather than one of the worst in history, he would have left coattails for those in his party to follow on and continue his legacy. Instead, Republicans not only do not have the benefit of any coattails, they have the opposite effect where they need to avoid any linkage to this failed leader. They not only have to stand up for themselves, they need to dig themselves out of a major hole to begin with. President Bush has wronged the trajectory of American government policies by allowing liberals to present themselves as a clean alternative to his corruption. He has thus allowed us to possibly have to suffer through socialist entitlement programs, unreasonable gun control, and continuation of court-imposed marriage and abortion laws rather than those supported by the morality of the majority of Americans.
