We are going to embrace pro-life Democrats because pro-life Democrats care about kids after they're born, not just before they're born.
The president is sleeping comfortably in Crawford, Texas, tonight, ... but there are an awful lot of Americans who are kind of sleepless these days -- they're sleepless about wondering where their job went. They're sleepless about wondering where their health insurance went or whether they are going to have health insurance. They are sleepless wondering whether their kid is going to be the next to die in Iraq.
Prison is an important part of life. We can't have violent people running around in the streets. (3 out of 4 federal prisoners are serving time for non-violent crimes.) Most competent and qualified kindergarden teachers can tell you who the 5 kids are in his or her class likely to wind up in prison 15 - 20 years from now.
I intend to talk about race during this election in the South because the Republicans have been talking about it since 1968 in order to divide us. And I'm going to bring us together.

I'm running for president because the only way to beat George Bush is to stand up to him.
Each of their surprise disclosures has contained additional reasons for concern about whether Roberts would use his lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court to be an activist for an ideological agenda or an advocate for Americans' personal freedom.
Everybody loves tax cuts. Can't we get beyond the cynical pandering of politicians in both parties that promise people everything but don't stand up for the long term interests of the United States of America,
I want to take this party back, so that we're proud of who we are again. I want to take this country back because we've moved too far to the right. And I want to take the White House back.
I'm not going to play the game anymore.
I've gotten to know John Kerry since the primaries. The reason I'm going out and working my you know what off for John Kerry is because I believe him. I believe he'll be a good president and a much better president than George Bush.
