I think George Bush has some nerve attacking anybody on special interests,
Sixty percent of us got $304. Has your property taxes gone up more than $304 because the president cut cops on the beat, refused to fund special education, refused to fund ""no child left behind?
We can take back America and stand up for working families and middle-class families again, and take our government back for the people who built it instead of corporations and special interests -- and we will.
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.
We are not going to beat George Bush by nominating somebody who is the handmaiden of special interests,
I'll stand up for what I believe in whether it's popular or not, and I think that is lacking in this country. What you're seeing now, not only on the part of President Bush but on the part of the Democrats as well, is they'll promise you a tax cut and health insurance and lower college tuition and fully funded special education. Look, you can't do that. You couldn't do that in your house. You can't spend money on stuff you don't have.
We have to come to terms with the ugly truth that skin color, age and economics played a significant role in who survived and who did not. And this question, 40 and 50 years after Dr. King and the civil rights movement, is, 'How could this still be happening in America?'
The pundits in Washington have been talking about me as the front-runner for a long time,
we saw people desperately trying to survive conditions that not one of us could imagine would ever happen in an American city.
The school buses were controlled by the school board, not the mayor, ... You can't blame the mayor for that.
I've resisted pronouncing a sentence before guilt is found.
The Senate has a duty to fully and fairly judge Roberts' record and qualifications, but how can it possibly do that when the White House has been sloppy or just plain uncooperative in providing information?
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?
They are a mistake. The middle class never got a tax cut for us to defend,
