George W. Bush: “Do they want to live in a society that's free, or do they want to live in violence?”

If any voters came hoping for a kind word and a hug, they’d have to settle for the kind word.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.
