We need to see that George Bush and the rest of them are tried for crimes against humanity.
If you fall on the side that is pro-George, and pro-war, you get your ass over to Iraq, and take the place of somebody who wants to come home. And if you fall on the side that is against this war and against George Bush, stand up and speak out.
But I've regretted working for someone who wasn't stridently speaking out against the war, ... Now I regret that support of John Kerry and I won't do it again.
I admire him for his resolve against my government and its meddling.
I think she needs to say I don't have to act like a man to be a good leader, ... She needs to act like a woman and be against the war. I think it's really important for the Democrats to be an opposition party and she is the leader, in a way. She has a lot of power and she's been more of a hawk than most Republicans.
I would love to support Hillary for president if she would come out against the travesty in Iraq. But I don't think she can speak out against the occupation because she supports it.
Most Americans want our troops home by the end of 2006. But that's far too late. Every minute that we wait, more blood is spilled. George Bush still continues his evil rhetoric that he is waging a war on terrorism, and he is really waging a war of terrorism against the world.
The 56,000,000-plus citizens who voted against you and your agenda have given me a mandate to move forward with my agenda,
I am not running against Senator Feinstein, but I will continue to be a thorn in her side.
I am not running against her, but I will continue to be a thorn in the side of Dianne Feinstein and any other politician who is not working for peace.
In a way, I wish he weren't the president, just so I could talk to him all the time.
In a way, I'm glad he did not come out to meet with me,
I know that they are in heaven, ... and I know that that's why this movement is growing because we have tens of thousands of angels behind us that are supporting us, that are saying, 'Well, you know we died and that was really crappy, but we hope that our deaths are going to make the world a better place,' and it's up to us to make sure that it does.
I know that Casey would be proud of me, ... I am always going to be a grieving mom. I will be a grieving mom until the day I die.
