Season's Greetings! I intentionally did not post this in the "Political Discussions" forum because I am not certain they belong there. (Heck, they may not belong here, either ......... smile). In the last several years, around the time of the beginning of every new year or so, I receive the following in my email inbox. I am not sure of the source(s) as none is/was cited - so forgive me for not giving credit where credit is due. Somebody tell me that he did not say these things. And if he did not, then shame! I mean, real shame , but on whom? Who is to be blamed? In Shakespearean Richard-of-Bordeauxresque lingo, "Not I, by God, not I!" Thanks. ========================================= I get this in my email Inbox every new year or so. Sorry, no source(s) is/are cited so I cannot properly give credit.

"I am not part of the problem. I am a Republican." It looks as though Dan Quayle said this one as well. http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/541.html Other than that, what's wrong with this one?
Thanks, Fed and PhD2B, for the citations. Now, the real GWB stands up (at least, his alleged sayings do). LOL.
I found some too... "Just swim up to the top..be sure to grab the bottle" - Sen. Ted Kennedy "Be careful, you'll set my robe on fire" - Sen. Robert Byrd " I think I heard that somewere before"- Sen. Joe Biden "I love pizza...especially with panties!"- President Bill Clinton No seriously... "He's (Osama bin Laden) been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and these people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that." (Sen. Murray, D-WA) "It's a new day. Communism is dead. It's even dead in Cuba. I hate to say it, it's dead...Castro may think he has Communism, but he's got a whole dollar economy going and I went to the restaurants and there's all kinds of capitalism over there." Senator Barbara Boxer (D,CA) "You bet we might have." —Sen. John Kerry "I actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it." —Sen. John Kerry "Not only are we going to New Hampshire ... we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and we're going to California and Texas and New York! And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House, Yeeeeeaaaaaargh!" —Howard Dean's Iowa concession speech . Ok, so Bush's english is a bit rough....but i think I have said before, when you have to resort to picking on grammer you dont have alot of substance to your arguement.
