Yellow Dog

Yellow Dogs write good letters to the editor:

"They told us that the federal budget would produce surpluses for as far as the eye could see and that we could easily afford to cut the taxes of the "pitifully overwhelmed" millionaires. They lied.

They told us that Osama bin Laden would be captured dead or alive. They lied.

They implied that the terrorists who attacked America had links to the government of Iraq. They lied.

They swore to us that Saddam Hussein had amassed vast stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. They lied.

They assured us that the Iraqi people would welcome the American invasion force with open arms not as conquerors, but as liberators. And then they reassured us that Iraqi oil revenue would cover the cost of reconstruction of that country after our bombardment. They lied and lied again.

They told us that the violence in Iraq would subside once Saddam Hussein was captured. Next, they told us that the violence in Iraq would subside once control of that country was turned over to the Iraqis. After that, they told us that the violence in Iraq would subside once elections were held in that country. They lied again and again.

Bill Clinton told us, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." He lied.

Which brings us to the pertinent question. Which of these lies mattered more, Clinton's lie on a subject of little importance or the Republicans' habitual lies on subjects of the utmost importance? Not a hard one to answer."
