Quotes About Bush

A surprise to others, but not to me, since I've watched this closely for eight years now, is how George W. Bush has internalized the founders' belief that all human beings are endowed by their Creator with a certain inherent yearning for freedom.

Senator Kerry does not support our troops. If he had won the election, there wouldn't be any troops left in Iraq.

And that's what Trump is riding.
