In a speech to Missouri Republicans yesterday, former attorney general John Ashcroft defended President Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program and his record on civil liberties, declaring that Bush is “among the most respectful of all leaders ever” when it comes to “respecting the civil liberties and rights of individuals.” Bush “respects liberty so profoundly that he has protected it and has safeguarded civil liberties more than any other president in wartime that I know of,” Ashcroft said. Ashcroft’s comments come on the heels of Bush’s decision to allow the civil liberties oversight board to go vacant.

How much was he paid to lie? Bush is the worse acting President this country has ever had second to Cheney and Nixon. At lease Gerald Ford got to live and see what his mistake caused for the United States. Like most who know their going to meet God, Ford tried to correct some of those mistakes but it was too late Cheney had already up dated the Nixon crime play book.
