George H.W. Bush

Only four United States senators voted to authorize the use of force and then voted against funding our troops. Two of those senators were my opponent and his running mate.

Yes, tax the rich, you know what that means. They dodge, you pay...

If you voted against the bipartisan Defense of Marriage Act, which my predecessor signed, you are not the candidate of conservative values. If you consistently vote against the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment, as my opponent has…

We send him our best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery.

I believe this nation wants steady, consistent, principled leadership. And that is why, with your help, we will win this election.

Tax relief is on the way.

I think he's probably going to say the war on terrorism will end in a tie. I think that's what he's going to say, he's going to take the middle ground.

We can't win the war on terror.

In this different kind of war, we may never sit down at a peace table. But make no mistake about it, we are winning, and we will win.

We meet today at a time of war for our country, a war we did not start, yet one that we will win.

If he wanted a tougher law, he could have gotten it.

Get back to the issues. America deserves better.

That means that ad, every other ad. Absolutely. I don't think we ought to have 527s. I can't be more plain about it, and I wish, I hope my opponent joins me in saying condemning these activities of the 527s. It's the, I think they're bad…

I don't think we ought to have 527s. I can't be more plain about it, and I wish, I hope my opponent joins me in saying condemning these activities of the 527s. It's the, I think they're bad for the system.

The Bush side dismisses that complaint.

I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman.

We will double federal funding for abstinence programs...

The new plan will help us fight and win these wars of the 21st century. It will strengthen our alliances around the world, while we build new partnerships to better preserve the peace.

I overcame these economic problems as well because of well-timed tax cuts.

And we ought not to play favorites with the tax relief plan.
