Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.-- Aristotle

you can shake a stick at."

Bush On Bush
"What's wrong with being a boring kind of a guy?" 
George Bush

Barbara Bush
"It has been said by some cynic, maybe it was a former president, 
'If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.'  Well, we took
them literally-- that advice, as you know.  But I didn't need that 
because I have Barbara Bush"
                      GOP President George Bush, 1991

Conservative
I'm conservative, but I'm not a nut about it.
George H. W. Bush

Drugs
"Now, like, I'm President. It would be pretty hard for some 
drug guy to come into the White House and start offering it 
up, you know?...I bet if they did, I hope I would say, 
'Hey, get lost. We don't want any of that.'"\
George Bush, Sr., speaking to a group of students about drug abuse

Faith
"You cannot be president of the United States if you don't 
have faith. Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of 
trial and the Civil War and all that stuff. You can't be. 
And we are blessed. So don't feel sorry for — don't cry for me, 
Argentina. Message: I care."
George Bush, Sr., speaking to employees of an 
insurance company during the 1992 New Hampshire primary

Lying
"Please don't ask me to do that which I've just said I'm not 
going to do, because you're burning up time. The meter is 
running through the sand on you, and I am now filibustering."
George Bush, Sr.

New World Order
"My vision of a 'new world order' foresees a United Nations
with a revitalized peacekeeping function."
George Herbert Walker Bush
41st US President, CIA Director, CFR Director, Trilateralist,

Recession

             --- George Bush at a campaign 
                 dinner in New Jersey 1992

Taxes
"I'm the one who will not raise taxes. My oppenet says 
he'll raise them as a last resort, or a third resort. 
But when a politician talks like that, you know that's 
one resort he'll be checking into.  My opponet won't 
rule out raising taxes.  But I will. And the Congress 
will push me to raise taxes and I'll say, 'No.'  And 
they'll push, and I'll say, 'No.' And they'll push 
again, and I'll say to them: 
'Read my lips: No new taxes!' ''
George Bush
1988 Republician Acceptance Speech

   President George Bush, during a campaign speech in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.

Words
"I am not one who — who flamboyantly believes in throwing a lot 
of words around."
George Bush, Sr.
