I have my warts. I sometimes say things that get me in trouble. In other words, I lead with my heart and not my head. That's the only chance we have against George Bush.
What we're going to do is reach out to 2 million Americans and ask them for $100 each, because I think there are at lease 2 million who would give us or even borrow $100 so they could send George Bush back to Crawford, Texas,
I think George Bush has some nerve attacking anybody on special interests,
Remember who stood up to George Bush first. It wasn't anybody from the ... city of Washington, D.C.,
Let me say that if John Kerry is the nominee I'm going to support him, ... Second of all, if John Kerry were the nominee, I'd advise him not to pick me because you don't need two people from New England on the ticket. I will do whatever I can to beat George Bush.
I will work closely with John Kerry to make sure we beat George Bush in November and turn our country around.
I don't think we're going to beat George Bush by trying to be like him,
John Kerry's position and my position are not very different about what we would do. Interestingly enough, neither is George Bush's position because George Bush adopted John Kerry's position after John Kerry won the primaries.
He's clearly not going to take more votes away from George Bush than he is from John Kerry,
We are not going to beat George Bush by nominating somebody who is the handmaiden of special interests,
I'm running for president because the only way to beat George Bush is to stand up to him.
As long as George Bush is president, we are going to create a permanent class system, ... And we're going to change that as soon as we can. What George Bush has done is give our money to his friends paying for his re-election. He made it impossible for people like you to go to college.
That's what they said about Bill Clinton, ... That's what they said about Jimmy Carter. That's what they said about George Bush. Now, George Bush, maybe it was true.
I understand it?s always better to have a lot of passion around an election. But what more passion could we possibly invoke than stopping George Bush from continuing to destroy the country?
