BUSH IGNORES HIS OWN LETTER FROM 1992 ON SMEAR ADS
With one of his top donors airing a dishonest and discredited attack ad against Sen. John Kerry's military record, President George W. Bush is refusing to denounce the tactics. Not only is Bush ignoring calls from his own top Republicans to intervene, he is directly contradicting his own demands during the 1992 presidential campaign.
Specifically, according to the July 14, 1992 Washington Post, George W. Bush authored a letter to more than 85,000 Republican donors on behalf of his father's presidential campaign urging them to stop funding sleazy and dishonest attacks on Bill Clinton.[1] Now, however, Bush is remaining silent as his top Texas fundraiser Robert Perry[2] bankrolls ads against Kerry, which independent academic institutions have discredited.[3] Even as Sen. John McCain (R) demands the White House issue a statement denouncing the tactics,[4] Bush refuses. Even as one of the veterans' in the ads apologizes for his attacks,[5] the President who talks so much about restoring "civility" has said nothing.[6]

Now Flattau has written a new book, Peering Through The Bushes
(Xlibris Publishing), that dissects the administration's assault
on the environment and exposes the many fallacies on which the
President bases environmental policy.
