Howard Dean Bush Quotations

New unemployment figures show that more Americans are unemployed than at any time since the end of the last Bush recession. For the first time since Herbert Hoover, there may be fewer Americans with jobs at the end of a presidency than at the beginning.

I don't think we're going to beat George Bush by trying to be like him,

He's clearly not going to take more votes away from George Bush than he is from John Kerry,

I will work closely with John Kerry to make sure we beat George Bush in November and turn our country around.

President Bush faces a serious test of leadership. Will he keep his pledge to hold his administration to high ethical standards and give the American people what they deserve, and will he answer to the American people for these serious missteps?

President Bush has failed to put together a plan, so despite the bravery and sacrifice of our troops, we are not making the progress that we should be in Iraq.

John Kerry's position and my position are not very different about what we would do. Interestingly enough, neither is George Bush's position because George Bush adopted John Kerry's position after John Kerry won the primaries.

Remember who stood up to George Bush first. It wasn't anybody from the ... city of Washington, D.C.,

I think George Bush has some nerve attacking anybody on special interests,

What we're going to do is reach out to 2 million Americans and ask them for $100 each, because I think there are at lease 2 million who would give us or even borrow $100 so they could send George Bush back to Crawford, Texas,

To use a Texas expression, President Bush is all hat and no cattle when it comes to education.

We are not going to beat George Bush by nominating somebody who is the handmaiden of special interests,

I understand it?s always better to have a lot of passion around an election. But what more passion could we possibly invoke than stopping George Bush from continuing to destroy the country?

While the ideals espoused in No Child Left Behind (NCLB) are admirable, the realities of the Bush plan are not, ... NCLB imposes rigid and expensive mandates on public schools. It judges adequate yearly progress using a one-size-fits-all formula, a measure that gives schools an incentive to lower testing standards in order to meet federal requirements and, sadly, to push out students that may bring down a school's average score.

While he is in Boise, Vice President Cheney ought to explain why the Bush administration sold out the Idaho sugar industry,

As long as George Bush is president, we are going to create a permanent class system, ... And we're going to change that as soon as we can. What George Bush has done is give our money to his friends paying for his re-election. He made it impossible for people like you to go to college.

The White House wants us to have a permanent commitment to Iraq. This is an Iraqi problem. President Bush got rid of Saddam Hussein and that was a great thing, but that could have been done in a very different way.

I'm running for president because the only way to beat George Bush is to stand up to him.

Democrats have been fighting for energy independence years before President Bush 's first day in office, while this administration has offered only lip service, and only when its poll numbers resemble (president Richard) Nixon's.

I'll stand up for what I believe in whether it's popular or not, and I think that is lacking in this country. What you're seeing now, not only on the part of President Bush but on the part of the Democrats as well, is they'll promise you a tax cut and health insurance and lower college tuition and fully funded special education. Look, you can't do that. You couldn't do that in your house. You can't spend money on stuff you don't have.

After having his hand in nearly every bad Bush policy decision and nearly every scandal that has consumed the Bush White House, it is not surprising that Karl Rove was demoted this morning.

The Bush administration philosophy has become 'borrow and spend' and let our children and grandchildren pick up the pieces,

It's not just about Tom DeLay. It's a thorough culture of corruption which has permeated the Bush administration.
