George H.W. Bush

I don't like to comment on something until I know exactly what happened.

This State is known for its independent state of mind -- making up its own mind on problems.

What happens in Baghdad matters in Burlington because our concern, far beyond the price of oil, is the fate of sovereign nations and peoples.

When he voted for that early compromise, it wasn't an easy vote.

I sound frustrated, not conciliatory.

The days of tax-and-spend and damn-the-deficit must come to an end.

Peter puts the good of the country first.

I'm opposed to quotas.

We need him in the Congress.

We're a part of a magnificent coalition, perhaps the grandest coalition ever put together in times of crisis.

Thank you, Vermonters, for that warm welcome.

Only Congress has the power to tax.

Maybe it's the fact that Vermont...has voted for more Republican Presidential candidates than any other State in the history of this country.

There's a moral underpinning, a strong moral underpinning, to what's happened in the United Nations as we've stood up unanimously against Saddam Hussein's aggression.

I'm always pleased when Americans might be released, or anybody is released.

Only Congress has the power to spend.

I thought we'd have a deal this morning, a reasonable deal to get this nation on the road to more jobs and lower interest rates.

There can never be compromise -- any compromise -- with this kind of aggression.

The U.N. has lived up to its promise, and we're not alone there.

But any life that's spared, fine.

There can be no compromise -- there can be none -- with this type of brutal aggression where a bully can move in and take over an entire country.

I like taxes about as much as I like broccoli -- and that ain't much.

Never, in their view, never in this history of this country have we had more motivated, more better trained, or more fine troops, men and women, than we have today.

We won't need a State income tax to deliver the kind of government the citizens of this State want and deserve.

America will not waver.
