"Bush did it!" That one has to be on the top. :devil:
"I never had sex with that woman."
"Trust me, I am with the government."
"I'm not going to resign. I'm going to stay focused on protecting our kids."
- Atty Gen'l A. Gonzales this week

"I am the Decider!"
that would be ok except you can always see Cheney's mouth moving whenever W speaks.
"I do this, at the pleasure of the president."
"I do this, at the pleasure of the president."
Monica, is that you!!?:lol2:
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
Pres. Bush, Nashville, Tenn.

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]San Francisco Chronicle[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Stung by the disclosure of his 1976 drunken-driving arrest and his effort to keep it secret, George W. Bush went on the offensive yesterday, calling the reports an example of ``dirty politics.''[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Bush was arrested while returning to his parents' home in Kennebunkport while accompanied by his sister, tennis star John Newcombe and Newcombe's wife. Bush's blood alcohol level was found to be 0.10. The legal limit in California is 0.08.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]It was also revealed that the Texas governor had himself removed from a 1996 jury pool in a drunken-driving case after it became apparent that he would be asked under oath whether he had ever been arrested for a similar offense.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]The Dallas Morning News disclosed that two years ago one of its reporters asked Bush whether he had been arrested since 1968. ``No,'' the governor responded, according to the paper.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Republican National Convention, 1988[/FONT][/SIZE]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]“And I'm the one who will not raise taxes. My opponent now says he'll raise them as a last resort, or a third resort. But when a politician talks like that, you know that's one resort he'll be checking into. My opponent, my opponent won't rule out raising taxes. But I will. And The Congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say no. And they'll push, and I'll say no, and they'll push again, and I'll say, to them, ‘Read my lips: no new taxes.’ “[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]At the end of June,1990, Bush released a statement stating that "it is clear to me that both the size of the deficit problem and the need for a package that can be enacted require all of the following: entitlement and mandatory program reform, tax revenue increases, growth incentives, discretionary spending reductions, orderly reductions in defense expenditures, and budget process reform."[/FONT][/SIZE]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Orlando, Fla, Nov. 17 -- Declaring that "I am not a crook," President Nixon vigorously defended his record in the Watergate case tonight and said he had never profited from his public service.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"I have earned every cent. And in all of my years of public life I have never obstructed justice," Mr. Nixon said.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]"People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Under pressure of certain impeachment, Nixon, on August 8, 1974 said on national television:[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]“Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Ford will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office.”[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Shortly thereafter, President Gerald R. Ford interrupted due process by stating: [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Now, therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from July (January) 20, 1969, through August 9, 1974.[/SIZE][/FONT]

I dunno...so many to choose from over the past 231 years...
Yeah, "read my lips no new taxes" has to be my all time favorite.
And because apples never fall far from trees, I offer you this:
On April 26, President Bush said in his weekly radio address, "My jobs and growth plan would reduce tax rates for everyone who pays income tax."
That turned out not to be true. According to the nonprofit Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, an unspecified number of low- and middle-income families received no tax cut at all because they'd been excluded from an expansion of the child-care tax. --Timothy Noah, 06.03.03
I don't know if this is really a lie, but it certainly sounds like it in 2007:
"I believe it is peace in our time."--Neville Chamberlain, after appeasing Hitler by giving him the Sudetenland.

I vote Not a Lie: Arthur Neville Chamberlain (18 March 1869 –
9 November 1940). It's not his time anymore. :(

And because apples never fall far from trees, I offer you this:
The craziest thing that ever happened to me was getting a $200 check in the mail in Bush tax back program. I was like WTF? why are they sending every body money and why of all people me?? Idiots.

Well it if costs something under $1 billion every year just to print $1 paper bills (that are the current replacement for a dime), then what did it cost to print and mail that $200 check? Oh. It lowered unemployment numbers.

Wow. Great factoid. Now WTF does this have to do with the current subject?
:fsm:

Yep, I sure didn't get a dime.
It's really hard to beat "People's Democratic Republic Of ______."
I vote Not a Lie: Arthur Neville Chamberlain (18 March 1869 – 9 November 1940). It's not his time anymore. :(
I agree. I think it was more like naïvety and wishful thinking.
It's really hard to beat "People's Democratic Republic Of ______."
:lol: Very true.
Hey, it doesn't say, ALL The Peoples Democratic Republic.....
The apostrophe heavily implies it. :D
Any variation of, "no new, or lower, taxes".
My all time favourite, just because it was almost like a Soap Opera unfoling was" I swear I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
I was younger then, but at the age where I thought I'd seen it all. I stood there wide eyed at the T.V.My first thought was hell he's only human, but then I though what else are we lied to about on a regular basis. That's when I got into Davib Icke and started believing eveerything he writes! lol
