Gerald Ford actually said...

"You know what? Columbus likes to be, along with the great State of Ohio, on the side of a winner."

"I can stand here and say with good conscience that President Ford stands for the little taxpayer and President Ford is against the big tax spender."

"I stand for lower taxes, a balanced budget, lower Federal spending, beating inflation, and peace and liberty for the United States of America."

"I promise you, I pledge you, that I will not let you down."
