"Heard this before"??

President Bush has said that, in one form or another, at least fourteen times since it's first appearance on October 3, just after 9/11. I didn't make it up.

And apparently it's not true. Nobody, including the White House, can find any instance when he said anything remotely like that during the campaign.

Is it only lying if it's Democrats?? Republicans inherit a pass on "truth" I didn't hear about??

Presidents lying is bad, regardless of Party.

I have never read that Bush's version is not true...where did you hear it?

On the contrary; he used similar terms during the primary debates and during the third presidential debate with Gore when Gore was criticizing Bush's proposed tax cut.

Break out your tapes, my friend. He may not have used those exact words, but he did discuss those situations as reasons for not maintaining a balanced budget.
