- favorites from the presidential debates include:
- [after being accused by Kerry of not saying the truth with respect to wmd in iraq, the end of combat, or the cost of the war]
LEHRER: Well, but when he [kerry] used the word "truth" again...
BUSH: Pardon me?
LEHRER: ... talking about the truth of the matter. He used the word "truth" again. Did that raise any hackles with you?
BUSH: Oh, I'm a pretty calm guy. I don't take it personally.
LEHRER: OK. All right. - [after kerry talked about the small coaltion in iraq] Well, actually, he forgot Poland. (youforgotpoland.com)
- [totally out of the blue, no idea what debate was going on in his head...] I reject this notion -- and I'm suggesting my opponent isn't -- I reject the notion that some say that if you're Muslim you can't free, you don't desire freedom.
- [asked about miscalculations with respect to the war] I see on the TV screens how hard it is.
- [during the question whether the war in iraq was worth the more than 1000 deaths of american soldiers so far (remember who doesn't visit funerals, or talks about these things, and think about how few minutes on the campaign trail he probably spent with the person he's talking about)] I told her after we prayed and teared up and laughed some that I thought her husband's sacrifice was noble and worthy.
- [on how to (not?) improve foreign relations] I made a decision not to join the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which is where our troops could be brought to -- brought in front of a judge, an unaccounted judge.
- [talking about the hostage drama in a school in russia] That's the nature of the enemy, by the way.
- [in the closing statement] We've climbed the mighty mountain. I see the valley below, and it's a valley of peace.
- [with respect to drug imports from canada] it looks like it's from Canada, and it might be from a third world.
- [on why the u.s. has a huge defict] And plus, we cut taxes for everybody. Everybody got tax relief, so that they get out of the recession.
- [after Kerry said that Bush qualifies as a small business through his income from a timber company] I own a timber company? That's news to me. Need some wood?
- [on faith] I pray a lot. [...] I pray for wisdom.
- [after being accused by Kerry of not saying the truth with respect to wmd in iraq, the end of combat, or the cost of the war]
