George W. Bush: “It's sad that we can't have a civil discourse in the midst of historic times.”

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

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

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

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.
