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

have babies. There are more caribou in Alaska than
you can shake a stick at."
--- George Bush on the
Alaska pipeline
Auschwitz

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

Recession
"I don't want to ruin this lovely recession.....I mean reception."
--- 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
Undecided Voters
"I think that the undecideds could go one way or the other."
President George Bush
Wings and Families
"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."
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.
