Updated list of Bushisms for September : (Btw, I invite people to parse the following Bushism : "And a challenger is somebody who generally comes from the pack and wins, if you're going to win. And that's where I'm coming from.") What in the world does that mean????? Here goes the complete list (and this is only for Sept 2000, mind you!) : "The best way to relieve families from time is to let them keep some of their own money."-Westminster, Calif., Sept. 13, 2000 "They have miscalculated me as a leader."-Ibid. "I don't think we need to be subliminable about the differences between our views on prescription drugs."-Orlando, Fla., Sept. 12, 2000 "This is what I'm good at. I like meeting people, my fellow citizens, I like interfacing with them."-Outside Pittsburgh, Sept. 8, 2000 "That's Washington. That's the place where you find people getting ready to jump out of the foxholes before the first shot is fired."-Westland, Mich., Sept. 8, 2000 "Listen, Al Gore is a very tough opponent. He is the incumbent. He represents the incumbency. And a challenger is somebody who generally comes from the pack and wins, if you're going to win. And that's where I'm coming from."-Detroit, Sept. 7, 2000 (Thanks to Michael Butler, Houston, Texas.) "We'll let our friends be the peacekeepers and the great country called America will be the pacemakers."-Houston, Texas, Sept. 6, 2000 "We don't believe in planners and deciders making the decisions on behalf of Americans."-Scranton, Pa., Sept. 6, 2000 "I regret that a private comment I made to the vice presidential candidate made it through the public airways."-Allentown, Pa., Sept. 5, 2000. "The point is, this is a way to help inoculate me about what has come and is coming."--on his anti-Gore ad, in an interview with the New York Times, Sept. 2, 2000

I didn't discuss politics in uniform. Yes, my views did conflict with policy. That is why I decided to resign with only 3 1/2 years left until I could retire. I live by my principles. You don't seem to have any.knc
