"My [tax cut] plan is realistic because it avoids meaningless 15-year projections."

(Quote is from a Bush speech in Iowa, 12/1/99)
"They are attacking women and children, aren't they?"
--Only three days before George W. Bush was to deliver a major foreign policy speech, he told a reporter during a phone interview that the U.S. should take action "if the Russian government attacks innocent women and children in Chechnya." When the reporter asked if, in fact, that wasn't already the case, Bush moved the phone away from his mouth and asked this question to his aides nearby.

"This is Preservation Month. I appreciate preservation. It's what you do when you run for president. You gotta preserve."
--Speaking during Perseverance Month at Fairgrounds Elementary School in Nashua, N.H.
