Debate quotes- Bring Back Complete Sentences Edition!
Hopefully this won't be too painful. I'm on the hunt for a chuckle or two. It's hard work.


I remember when Ronald Reagan was the president; he stood on principle. Somebody called that stubborn. He stood on principle standing up to the Soviet Union.

You know, I've made some decisions on Israel that's unpopular.

And people in Europe didn't like that decision. And that was unpopular.

There is 30 nations involved in Iraq,

It is naive and dangerous to take a policy that he suggested the other day, which is to have bilateral relations with North Korea.

I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft.

We don't need as much manpower on the Korean Peninsula to keep a deterrent.

And so we're moving troops out of Europe and replacing it with more effective equipment.

The Patriot Act is vital, by the way. It's a tool that law enforcement now uses to be able to talk between each other.

But yes, I'm worried. I'm worried. I'm worried about our country. And all I can tell you is every day I know that there's people working overtime, doing the very best they can.

And what my worry is is that, you know, it looks like it's from Canada, and it might be from a third world. And we've just got to make sure, before somebody thinks they're buying a product, that it works. And that's why we're doing what we're doing.

Pharmaceuticals were using loopholes to keep brand -- brand drugs in place, and generics are much less expensive than brand drugs. And we're doing just that.

I come from the school of thought that says when people have more money in their pocket during economic times, it increases demand or investment.

But let me talk back about where we've been.

And we'll continue to spend money on research and development, because I truly believe that's the way to get from how we live today to being able to live a standard of living that we're accustomed to and being able to protect our environment better, the use of technologies.

Secondly, allow small businesses to pool together so they can share risk and buy insurance at the same discounts big businesses get to do.

This is different from saying, "OK, let me incent you to go on the government."

I had to make the decision to destroy more life, so we continue to destroy life -- I made the decision to balance science and ethics.

That's not what the Constitution says. The Constitution of the United States says we're all -- you know, it doesn't say that. It doesn't speak to the equality of America.

Culture of life is really important for a country to have if it's going to be a hospitable society.

I did the right decision.

2. The English language
is not junior's strong suit. His grammar and sentence structure is appalling. I'm embarrassed that this dope is the so called "President".

5. More- Crazy Talk Edition!

I wasn't happy when we found out there wasn't weapons, and we've got an intelligence group together to figure out why.

First of all, we didn't find out he didn't have weapons until we got there.

I love our values. And I recognize I've made some decisions that have caused people to not understand the great values of our country.

It also means that we can target things easier and move more quickly, which means we need to be lighter and quicker and more facile and highly trained.

Liberty can change habits. And that's what's happening in Afghanistan and Iraq.

You can run, but you can't hide. He voted 98 times to raise taxes. I mean, these aren't make-up figures.

I have -- was fought for a very strong title in the farm bill for the conservation reserve program to set aside millions of acres of land to help improve wildlife and the habitat.

What happens in those forests, because of lousy federal policy, is they grow to be -- they are not -- they're not harvested.

That's why I proposed a hydrogen automobile -- hydrogen-generated automobile.

It's one of these deals where, in order to be popular in the halls of Europe, you sign a treaty.

And then there is this exchange: How did Bush know that tax cuts for the middle class were coming up?

GIBSON: I want to extend for a minute, Senator. And I'm curious about something you said. You said, "It's not when, but if." You think it's inevitable because the sense of security is a very basic thing with everybody in this country worried about their kids.

KERRY: Well, the president and his experts have told America that it's not a question of if; it's a question of when. And I accept what the president has said. These terrorists are serious, they're deadly, and they know nothing except trying to kill. I understand that. That's why I will never stop at anything to hunt down and kill the terrorists. But you heard the president just say to you that we've added money.

Folks, the test is not if you've added money; the test is that you've done everything possible to make America secure. He chose a tax cut for wealthy Americans over the things that I listed to you.

GIBSON: Mr. President?

BUSH: Well, we'll talk about the tax cut for middle class here in a minute. But yes, I'm worried. I'm worried. I'm worried about our country. And all I can tell you is every day I know that there's people working overtime, doing the very best they can. And the reason I'm worried is because there's a vicious enemy that has an ideology of hate. And the way to defeat them long-term, by the way, is to spread freedom. Liberty can change habits. And that's what's happening in Afghanistan and Iraq.
