George W. Bush: “These walls remind all who visit here that honor, courage, and commitment are not just words.”

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

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

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

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