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,
No, I wasn't, John Edwards, because people who vote who fly the Confederate flag, I think they are wrong because I think the Confederate flag is a racist symbol,
we saw people desperately trying to survive conditions that not one of us could imagine would ever happen in an American city.
Election by election, state by state, pricinct by pricinct, door by door, vote by vote we're going to left our party up and we're going to take this country back for the people who built it.
You have already got the picture here, ... I was about to say I'm sure there's some disappointed people here.
There will soon be a Hispanic governor in the state of Texas. There are people sitting in this room who will run for governor.
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.
Apparently, Governor Schwarzenegger has ripped a page from President Bush's re-election playbook, ... Rule number one in the 'Bush-Rove Guide to Running on a Record of Failure' is to demonize groups of people and use them to divide the electorate by rallying the extremists in your base. It's the only way to explain Governor Schwarzenegger's promise to veto the California marriage equality bill after pledging just last year to support equal rights and responsibilities for California's LGBT families if approved by the courts or the legislature.

Maine folks are just like Vermont people -- they're very independent. And that's a great place to start the turnaround,
We've brought a lot of new people to this party, and they're all out working like crazy knocking on doors, ... We're going to see a huge turnout and it's -- a lot of it's going to be people who haven't voted before.
A lot of us want to see 'Dean for America' evolve into something more, something that helps more Democrats win elections based on the message we created, ... The campaign has changed the party so much, and has really shown people what can be done if you inspire a movement of people. So a lot of us would like to see that organization continue. If it can't continue as a presidential campaign, we could still do some good for the party and for the country.
This president cares more about corporations than he does about the people of the United States of America.. and we're gonna change that.
It's not enough to change presidents, ... We have to change the way Washington works -- stand up to the lobbyists and the special interests and make government work for people again.
