1. "I want to take one half of the surplus..."

Thanks for the link.

From the 10/3/2000 debate:
GOV. BUSH: Yes. I take him for his word. I mean I -- look, I fully recognize I'm not of Washington. I'm from Texas. And he's got a lot of experience, but so do I. And I've been the chief executive officer of the second biggest state in the union. I've had a proud record of working with both Republicans and Democrats, which is what our nation needs. ."

Gosh, the Bush dude sounds like a good guy. He's gonna work with both sides of the aisle; he's gonna be very careful about using military force and especially with any nation building; he won't "grow the federal government" like Gore will, and he said that after his tax "plan is in place, the wealthiest American will pay a higher percentage of taxes than they do today." I think I'll vote for him.
