About this book
BIG BUSH LIES has had a gestation period of nearly a year. In May of 2003 RiverWood Books publisher Steven Scholl contacted Bush Watch Editor Jerry "Politex" Barrett with an idea to do a book on Bush lies and publish it  prior to the 2004 presidential election. Barrett liked the idea and this book is the result.

The contributors to Big Bush Lies are nearly all full-time professionals, but all have connections to the Internet in one way or the other. A number of lawyers, quite a few academicians, and a handfull of journalists make up the diverse team of writers you'll find in this book. Most are specialists in the content area they have selected for their essay.

The table of contents notes the themes and approaches taken to the subject. The focus is on George W. Bush as a liar, and the book features essays on general political topics, both domestic and foreign. The book also indicates that Bush's lies are part of the fabric of the centuries-old clash between corporations and the state, and CEO Bush is working hard to create a state that, in one way or the other, serves the global needs and desires of corporations. The book ends with a consideration of the effects of Bush's lying upon the ideals of this country. In short, Big Bush Lies does not stop at exposing Bush lies, its ultimate concern is to relate them to both the history of this country and the daily lives of its citizens.
