From Liberal Values: George Bush's Plans to Harm America
http://liberalvaluesblog.com/?p=546Conservatives are so quick to claim their misinterpretation of Kerry's statement last week is the correct one, and ignore the fact that Kerry was making a joke about George Bush, not the troops. By this standard we should be able to take comments from George Bush literally and assume they represent exactly what Bush believes. Here's some examples:
George Bush admits to be working to harm our country and people:
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
—At signing of defense appropriations bill, August 5, 2004
George Bush wanted to disarm America if Saddam didn't disarm:
"I was proud the other day when both Republicans and Democrats stood with me in the Rose Garden to announce their support for a clear statement of purpose: you disarm, or we will."—Speaking about Saddam Hussein, Manchester, N.H., Oct. 5, 2002
George Bush's energy policy:
"We need an energy bill that encourages consumption."—Trenton, N.J., Sept. 23, 2002
Under George Bush there will never be peace in the Middle East:
"My administration has been calling upon all the leaders in the—in the Middle East to do everything they can to stop the violence, to tell the different parties involved that peace will never happen."—Crawford, Texas, Aug, 13, 2001
At least there's the possibility of peace somewhere:
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."—Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000
There's no separation of church and state to George Bush:
"I appreciate that question because I, in the state of Texas, had heard a lot of discussion about a faith-based initiative eroding the important bridge between church and state."—Question and answer session with the press, Jan. 29, 2001
George Bush thinks the executive branch is the judiciary:
"The legislature's job is to write law. It's the executive branch's job to interpret law."—Austin, Texas, Nov. 22, 2000
But who says Bush doesn't learn new things--such as to execute legislators:
"I am mindful of the difference between the executive branch and the legislative branch. I assured all four of these leaders that I know the difference, and that difference is they pass the laws and I execute them."—Washington, D.C., Dec. 18, 2000
