From a Republican paper no less:
Bush's high crimes against the nation
By Walter Williams
Special to The Times
George W. Bush has knowingly deceived the American people on the two overriding policy issues of his presidency — the invasion of Iraq and the deep tax cuts.
Other presidents have lied. Only Bush has repeatedly duped Congress and the public to thwart their exercise of informed consent.
He is the first president to use propaganda as the main weapon in selling his policies. Bush's unprecedented pattern of deception may constitute an impeachable offense.
OTHER KEY QUOTES:
"Hoodwinking the public that Saddam posed a perilous immediate danger to the United States is Bush's greatest treachery."
"Lacking hard facts, as evidenced by his now much-discussed deception in his State of the Union address that Iraq sought to buy uranium in Africa, Bush mixed misinformation, distorted allegations and unsubstantiated rumors to persuade the public of the imminent danger posed by Saddam Hussein."
"In actuality, the president's purposeful duping of the public on the nation's most critical policy issues strikes at the heart of American constitutional democracy when it robs the electorate of informed consent."
"President Bush's actions appear to be a far more serious assault on the Constitution than Watergate."
