Together we can stand for honesty, hard work, respect and opportunity for each American. Together America can do better.
While the ideals espoused in No Child Left Behind (NCLB) are admirable, the realities of the Bush plan are not, ... NCLB imposes rigid and expensive mandates on public schools. It judges adequate yearly progress using a one-size-fits-all formula, a measure that gives schools an incentive to lower testing standards in order to meet federal requirements and, sadly, to push out students that may bring down a school's average score.
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.
but none of them can engender the enthusiasm and the ability to raise money. ... None of them have the record that I have of actually being in the chair, making the tough decisions and standing up for what you believe and paying a price.
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.
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,
This campaign is simply going to offer something different than everybody else, ... I'll stand up for what I believe in, whether it's right or whether it's popular.
It goes against everything we stand for - -your word is your bond. I don't know how (McEntee) can justify what he did. It's a terrible precedent.
President Bush faces a serious test of leadership. Will he keep his pledge to hold his administration to high ethical standards and give the American people what they deserve, and will he answer to the American people for these serious missteps?
If we lose, better to go down fighting and standing for what we believe in, because we will not win an election if the public doesn't think we'll stand up for what we believe in.
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.
by standing up and telling the truth and not worrying about polls and focus groups.
I can't stand there and listen to everyone else's opinion for eight hours about how to fix the world,
I'm running for president because the only way to beat George Bush is to stand up to him.
