The president has moved the goal posts. Americans understand changing the rules of the game; they don't like it,
Violence is an admission that one's ideas and goals cannot prevail on their own merits.
Surely, we can have effective relationships with other nations without adopting a chip-on-the-shoulder foreign policy, a my-way-or-the-highway policy that makes all our goals in the world more difficult to achieve,
We need more than photo-ops and spin control to win this war. We need an effective plan to achieve our goals in Iraq and protect our troops. The president once again offered neither. He needs to realize what most Americans now understand -- that staying the course is not an option.
In appointing the next nominee, (Bush) must listen to all Americans, not just the far right.
The administration's policies are dividing us on race and dividing us on riches and that is basic, fundamentally wrong.
The administration has to abolish its 'my-way-or-the-highway' attitude,
They have undermined America's prestige and credibility in the world, and undermined the trust that Americans should and must have in what their nation tells them. How many will doubt a future claim of danger even if it is real?
They won't tell American people what they want to know: when the Iraqi security forces will be fully capable of fighting on their own. That's the key to achieving victory.
The nation lost a courageous woman and a true American hero. A half century ago, Rosa Parks stood up not only for herself, but for generations upon generations of Americans.
I'm deeply troubled by a narrow and cramped and perhaps even a mean-spirited view of the law that appears in some of your writings, ... It appears you did not fully appreciate the problem of discrimination in our society.
I hope we can come together as Americans to deal with this issue. It is that spirit we hope to capture.
I hope the president will select someone who meets the high standards that she set and that can bring the nation together, as she did,
I hope the next nominee selected meets the high standards set by Justice O'Connor, reveres and treasures the freedoms on which our nation was built, and can bring the nation together as she has done often.
