At least not as far as the names you cite.

"Read my lips' no new taxes" GHWB
"Those who cultivate moral confusion for profit should understand this: we will name their names and shame them as they deserve to be shamed." BD
"The political lesson of Watergate is this: Never again must America allow an arrogant, elite guard of political adolescents to by-pass the regular party organization and dictate the terms of a national election." GF
