Otros, como Gerald Ford y Jimmy Carter, las citaron en contadas ocasiones.

• I went to my first national convention in 1976, when my family supported [Ronald] Reagan over [Gerald] Ford, so we've always been Republicans, but we've always wanted the Republican Party to be the party of fiscally conservative, limited-government types.

• se asumió que estaba atacando personalmente a Sarah Palin al imitarla en televisión. Nadie dijo nunca que era "mezquino" cuando Chevy Chase interpretaba a Gerald Ford cayéndose todo el rato. Nadie acusó nunca a Dana Carvey, Darrell Hammond o Dan Aykroyd de "pasarse" en sus imitaciones políticas. Ya ven a dónde quiero llegar. Yo no soy malo y la señora Palin no es frágil. Insinuar lo contrario nos perjudica a ambos.

Y si hubiéramos criticado personalmente a nuestro oponente habría sido un suicidio político, habríamos sido castigados y condenados por ello.
