Synopsis

In the 2000 presidential election, the then Gov. George W. Bush ran as the candidate of 'honesty', 'integrity', 'truth' and 'character.' That was his claim and his supporters' claim. After he won the Republican primary by defeating Sen. John McCain, he and his supporters essentially characterized his Democratic opponent, former vice president Al Gore as a 'liar' and an 'untrustworthy' individual. That characterization stuck and Gore never fought back vigorously against those charges. It was not only after Mr. Gore conceded the election (many thought he won), that his former opponent and many of his supporters saw Gore differently as 'honorable' and 'gracious.' Some actually called him "a good man."When George W. Bush became the president, I became interested in observing his policies and actions in comparison to his campaign and post-campaign rhetoric. Simply put, by his claims of 'character' during the presidential campaign, he invited close scrutiny of his policies. I had to observe how his rhetoric matched his actions. If you are interested in finding out about the character of the George W. Bush's administration (so far) and how honest his words have matched his deeds, this is the book for you.
