Bush Caught Lying Yet Again

Honestly, the man has such a problem with telling the truth. This time it has to do with his avowal that if elected Democrats will raise taxes. He is the President. He is the only one who can sign a tax bill into law. Exactly how will the Democrats raise taxes? At best they will take the House tomorrow and by far less than a 60% majority. They probably won't take the Senate.

What this means is that in order to raise taxes, Democrats will have to pass a tax bill through both houses, one of which they do not control, and then persuade the president to sign the bill or override his veto, neither of which they will have the votes to do.

Bottom line? The threat of increased taxes is a political lie, pure and simple unless Bush is planning to raise taxes himself. There's no other way a tax bill can get passed and signed into law.
