This isn't about politics. It's about what is good for America and what's best for our security and how far this president has taken us away from both.
We're not going to cure terrorism and spread peace and goodwill in the Middle East by killing innocent people, or I'm not even saying our bullets and bombs are killing them. The occupation that they don't have food. They don't have clean water. They don't have electricity. They don't have medicine. They don't have doctors.
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.
a good meeting with the president, the end of August, or I get arrested.
In a way, I wish he weren't the president, just so I could talk to him all the time.

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 kind of see their point that this was a grassroots thing that grew into a monster.
Everyone in America should be appalled that that many were killed. What's more obscene, me wearing the number, or that there is a number at all? My son is one of those numbers.
The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush,
Not one person should have died; not one more person should die,
I'm going to go to Washington, D.C. and I'm going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I'm going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home,
