Bush quotes from the 2000 Campaign

We'll be posting a variety of quotations from the Connecticut CowBoy, George W. Bush, in the weeks and months ahead. We must never forget the "genius" of this warmonger prezident. And we must remember, too, that Senator John McCain comes out of the same mold.

The following quotes are from Serendipity.

* "It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas." -- Beaverton, Oregon - September 25, 2000

* "The reason we start a war is to fight a war, win a war, thereby causing no more war!" -- spoken at the First Presidential Debate, 2000

* (This quote displays in painful detail how ignorant George W. Bush really is): "The Legislature's job is to write the law. It's the executive branch's job to interpret law." -- November 2000. (In case you're confused, the Judicial Branch interprets the law and the Executive Branch enforces or carries out the law!)

* "Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness." -- CNN online chat, August 30, 2000

Seelye in The New York Times, June 28, 2000
