George H. W. Bush
The defense budget is more than a piggy bank for people who want to get busy beating swords into pork barrels.
George H. W. Bush
There's a second life involved. No matter what your position is on abortion or the death penalty, you shouldn't put a pregnant woman to death.
George H. W. Bush
