Letter: When Bush lies, let's say so

Why doesn't the media hold President Bush to the same standards they did President Clinton? When Clinton got too clever with words (it depends on what is, is) they called him a liar.

But when Bush said that the Democrats want to raise taxes, a clear-cut lie, nobody dares to call him a liar. Even Daschle just replied that he didn't know of any Democrats who advocated a tax raise.

Let's call a spade a spade -- Bush is a liar.
