Sounds like a phrase he coined, and rather apropos...

I have already achieved a perfect balance in my life between sex and violence (although it took several decades to not confuse the two), but, sadly, not things.

Yes. We know. Bush is terrible at off-the-cuff-stuff.
Kerry, however, doesn't evejn kow what he stands for.
Who has your vote?

Well, he's very bad at just articulating a clear thought even to a small "audience." If you can't explain what you mean, then you probably don't know what you mean.
That would not be the man I'd cast my vote for.

Bush knows what he means. He just doesn't know what he's saying. ;)

"One man with courage makes a majority."
"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
Actually, those are a couple of disturbing statements, aren't they? The first sounds more authoritarian than democratic. And the second, while it might say something positive about sacrificing for the greater good, also seems to elevate the State over the individual.
First class political rhetoric, though.
