Here are some more Bush gems. And keep in mind that all of THESE were said BEFORE the 2000 election. And you all STILL voted for him!

Enjoy!

"This frightens some in Washington D.C. because they want the federal government to run Social Security, like it's some kind of federal program."

"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."

"We'll make America what we want it to be. A literate country, and a hopefuller country."

"I think we ought to raise the age at which juveniles can have a gun."

"As I've told alot of folks in Texas over the years, I wish I knew the law."

"There ought to be limits to, uh... to freedom."

"Until I'm president it's going to be hard for me to verify that I think I'll be more effective."

"I think we agree, the past is over."

"It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas."

"I see it all the time when people come up to me and say, I don't want you to let me down again." :rolleyes:

"You might want to comment on that, Honorable."
(to N.J. Secy of State, the Honorable Deforest Soaries, Jr.)

"As Governor of Texas, I have set high standards for our public schools, and I have met those standards."

"I think if you know what you believe, it makes it alot easier to answer questions..... I can't answer your question."

"We'll let our friends be the peacekeepers, and the great country called America will be the pacemakers."

"I am against hard quotas. Quotas, they basically delineate based upon whatever."

"The best way to relieve families from time is to let them keep some of their own money."

"That's a chapter, the last chapter... of the 20th... the 20th... the 21st century, that most of us would rather forget. The last chapter of the 20th century, this is the first chapter of the 21st century."
(Hey, wasn't that a line in "Rainman"? '20th, 20th century, definitely, definitely 20th, 21st century' :p )

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

"When I'm president we're gonna have emergency room care, we're gonna have gag orders..."

"We talked about how best to be able to expedite the exploration of natural gas in Mexico and transport it up to the United States so that we become less dependant on foreign sources of crude oil."

And this one says it all:

"I think anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is misunderestimating."


Hail to the chief!!
