-Caveat Lector- Dear Brigade, "Bush stressed the need to establish trade with China and increase support of the North America Free Trade Agreement to boost a struggling farm economy. He said Congress needs to match temporary worker permits for immigrants with job demand and availability. "If you can make 50 cents in Mexico and $50 in Nebraska, you're coming," Bush said of the influx of Hispanic immigrants to the state..." And he wants to be President of the United States of America???? Compare Bush statements with this one by Pat Buchanan: "I am not a citizen of the world; I am an American. And I am not running for president of the world, but for president of the United States." GO PAT GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can Bush be any more transparent in demonstrating his open-borders, pro-NAFTA, pro-China positions? Is this what the Republican Party wants their nominee to stand for? -MM Bush refuses to answer new round of drug questions By MARGERY BECK Associated Press Writer September 1, 1999 Web posted at: 9:49 a.m. EDT (1349 GMT) COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) -- Read his lips: no more questions about drugs. Republican presidential front-runner George W. Bush is sticking to his pledge not to answer any more questions concerning past drug use. During a campaign stop Tuesday night in Council Bluffs, Iowa, the Texas governor doggedly rebuffed one reporter's repeated attempts to ask if he thinks his image is being redefined by the drug issue. "I'm not going to talk about it anymore," he repeated, clearly agitated. "I think it's time somebody stood up and said we're going to cleanse the system of rumors and gossip and innuendo." When asked what he thinks of his public image -- sans any reference to the drug speculation -- Bush said, "I think I'm doing pretty well." Barbara Bush says she and her husband never asked their eldest son if he has used cocaine. "We had no need to," she said. In an interview with a Manchester, N.H., television station, the former first lady said it was "fair" for the news media to question her son about possible illegal drug use years ago, but she said he was right to refuse to go into details. "I am proud of the stand he has taken," she said. "The time has come to say, 'Enough.' Judge a man by what he has done." It is irrelevant whether a presidential candidate ever used drugs, Mrs. Bush said, suggesting that the news media concentrate less on personal matters. "Twenty-five, 30 years ago? I don't think it matters," Mrs. Bush said. "That's ridiculous. ... Let's ask candidates about what they have done" in public policy, pointing to her son's record as Texas governor. Bush also addressed questions about his stance on campaign finance reform. With his campaign coffers set to top $50 million by the end of September, Bush said he would like to see the individual donation limit of $1,000 raised "to make it easier for candidates to raise money." He added that campaign regulations should ban corporate contributions when shareholders and union members have no voice in where the donation goes. While campaigning earlier Tuesday in Omaha, Neb., Bush touted plans to follow through with last year's congressional call to transform the federally funded Head Start child development program into a preschool reading program. "Head Start has done a good job in providing health needs," the Texas governor said at Our Lady of Guadalupe-St. Agnes Mission School. "I believe it ought to include an education program as well." Head Start is a national program that provides development services for low-income, preschool children aged 3 to 5. Funding is provided through the federal Health and Human Services Department's Administration for Children and Families. Bush plans to disclose his plans for Head Start on Thursday at a stop in Los Angeles. Bush's emphasis on education and his call to keep the U.S. Department of Education -- under fire from a number of conservative Republicans -- may sound like the battle cry of a Democrat. But those policies would be cogs of a larger education plan that includes local control for schools and school vouchers allowing public school students to transfer to private schools -- ideas that help define Bush as a Republican. The presidential hopeful who went to college at Yale and Harvard said his job as president will be to "set a tone" for a heightened emphasis on education. "I believe every child can read," Bush said. "And I believe that ought to become the whole mentality of our education programs, and that we ought to expect the very best for everybody." While Bush would not stop talking about education, he averted questions about the size of his growing campaign war chest. "I know there are some who are talking about my capacity to raise money, particularly some of my opponents," he said. "I would suggest that if you ask them, they would like to trade places." Bush attended a $1,000-per-person fund-raiser Tuesday at a private home in Omaha. The event was expected to raise $250,000. Bush also met privately with a group of Hispanic business leaders at the school. At a tour of ConAgra Inc.'s headquarters in downtown Omaha, Bush stressed the need to establish trade with China and increase support of the North America Free Trade Agreement to boost a struggling farm economy. He said Congress needs to match temporary worker permits for immigrants with job demand and availability. "If you can make 50 cents in Mexico and $50 in Nebraska, you're coming," Bush said of the influx of Hispanic immigrants to the state. Help Pat and the Brigade in our Battle for the White House...
