Release date: June 2004
Documents the biggest and latest lies and misrepresentations by George W. Bush in many areas, including the environment, economy, women and minorities policies, education and healthcare. One obvious lie by Bush is that he won the 2000 election. Still another is that he and Cheney were living in different states in 2000. Cheney lied about moving to Wyoming, as records show he did not leave Halliburton's Dallas office until late 2000 and did not sell his Texas home until Nov. 2000, when a large Republican donor who already owned a mansion in the same neighborhood suspiciously bought it.
