Is the US Administration Still a Creditable Source of Truth?

They've shown a consistent willingness to place party politics and perpetuation of their own power and personal gain ahead of their duty as public servants and fill essential government positions with lackeys. So, no, the Administration and its appointees are not credible sources of information. Not that any Administration is, mind you, but this current one is the imum coeli.

Indeed, oh perceptive mother hen.
Frankly, whenever I hear a politician speak my intergalactic translator automatically transforms their words into real English. For the most part the read-out is blank, but occaisionally I can resolve the odd bit here and there that is actually the opposite of what their words would indicate.
Hehe, I almost "ralphed" on that one too.doppelgänger;941214 said:

Yes, political speech is much doublespeak. How doubleplusungood.
Next week Eibhlin embarks on her studies on logic. I plan on using "current events" as fodder to practice on, with a particular focus on political events. That should make it quite easy on her, eh?
Hehe, I almost "ralphed" on that one too.
Alas, I succumbed to temptation. Call it reflex action.

I don't think any government has ever been a credible source of truth. They all lie cheat and steal. It doesn't matter what party is in power of even what form of government one has, they ALL lie cheat and steal.

Done here.
Nevertheless, some lie, cheat and steal a great deal more than others. The Bush administration makes the Harding administration look like a Sunday School picnic.

I wasn't defending anyone...
EDIT: but I think you are kidding yourself if you think Bush's admin has done more of it than Clintons. That was my point, they all do it and they all suck for it.
Smoke
Done here.
You can't be serious. The only good thing I can say for the Clintons is that they're not Republicans, but no administration -- and I mean absolutely none -- has achieved the level of dishonesty and corruption (not to mention sheer insanity) this present one has. Not Nixon's, not Harding's, not Clinton's. None of them.
However, I think it makes conservative Christians feel better to think the Bush administration isn't more than usually corrupt. That way they don't have to face up to their own lack of moral compass in their blind support for it.

oh I am quite serious and I do not support Bush at all, I hate his ideology and most everything he has done during his presidency. My moral compass is working just fine thanks.
So in a nut shell Republicans have lost their moral compass?
Smoke
Done here.
Without a doubt.

I unfortunately agree, the republican party is all about power and cares nothing for its purported principles.
Like right to life?
Smoke
Done here.
Apparently, only fetuses have a right to life. Everybody else is SOL under the Republican moral code. Like one million Iraqis, right?
So tell me about the Democratic moral code? Oral sex is not sexual relations?

ha! that is a good one.
The republicans care so much about abortion that the frontrunner for 2008 is Rudy Guliani!!!
