Examples:
"Drug therapies are replacing a lot of medicines as we used to know it."
"I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to answer questions. I can't answer your question."
From their home page ( http://www.bushisms.com) a quote:KARL ROVE, Bush's long-time political guru and White House advisor:
"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans...
...unless they have too much education and vote Democratic,
