ends middle sticky
We're sticky at the ends and the middle is getting squeezed
thinking baggage
I don't think there's any Bush baggage at all.
military air giving
I would let the military commanders give the commander in chief options rather than tell them what you want to hear. Not having gotten those options, I can't tell you if we are going to have boots on the ground but certainly, a more expanded role for the special operators would be essential. And being more effective in strikes as it is relates to the air.
real done requirements
Work needs to be the single biggest requirements. No more waivers as this administration has done. There should be real work eligibility.
independent florida voters
You have to remember that in a state like Florida, independent voters will decide the election.
science technology thinking
I don't think it's the highest priority. I don't think we should ignore it, either, just generally I think as conservatives we should embrace innovation, embrace technology, embrace science. ... Sometimes I sense that we pull back from the embrace of these things. We shouldn't.
life life-experience warts
I've had a life experience that's full of warts, full of successes.
weapons has-beens
Every weapons system has been gutted.
commitment law broke
They [illegal immigrants] broke the law, but it's not a felony, it's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family.
people links percentages
There's a direct link between percentage of young people that are educated and how we live our lives.
tough-questions hitting interviews
To me, Jeb Bush is hitting his stride. He was the most composed, the most endpoint, the most in control, I've seen him in an interview yet. And it's not because I wasn't asking him tough questions
positive determination lines
There's a fine line between stubbornness and the positive side of that, which is dogged determination.
school kids past
There's got to be a point where we fix the system so that legal immigration is easier than illegal immigration and show respect for people, a kid who might have been here for 10 years, that might be a valedictorian of their high school to say, no, no, no you're not allowed to go to college. I just think there's a point past which we are over the line.
thinking florida president
I reject the notion that a high turnout helps Senator Kerry. I think in Florida at least, it's going to help President Bush because we have gotten more registered voters than the Democrats, and our base is just fired up - thanks to your help and a lot of others.
