mistake mind president
It is perhaps my greatest hope, Mr. President, that some day we'll consider tax and spending measures with no one else in mind but future generations of American taxpayers. We're tying a millstone of debt around their necks, and it is a grave mistake.
commitment iraq impact
It's pretty clear we have enough Guard people in the United States, but are they capable of handling our oversees commitments as well? We need to figure out how that impacts our ability in Iraq.
mad people purpose
We can't disrupt polling places anymore, ... It doesn't serve any purpose. It just makes people mad.
als republican gore
Unfortunately, Governor Bush is a Pat Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore.
real kids technology
Suppose that climate change is not real and all we do is adopt green technologies, which our economy and our technology is perfectly capable of. Then all we've done is given our kids a cleaner world.
gratitude differences years
While Secretary Rumsfeld and I have had our differences, he deserves Americans' respect and gratitude for his many years of public service.
summer football school
I wrestled and played football in high school and in my last year, I started as a wrestler and actually had a fairly good record. But I hated to lose. I always gave it everything I had which, unfortunately, was not as much as I'd hoped for. But keep in mind, I feel like I got the most out of my ability. One moment that was special above all the rest was winning my last bout at the Naval Academy to finish the entire summer undefeated. That was thrilling, but what's more, it helped me in prison because the first time I got knocked around by the Vietnamese, it did not come as a total shock.
matter republican made
Every time there's been an out-of-bounds remark made by a Republican, no matter where they are, I have repudiated them.
iran space want
So Ahmadinejad wants to be the first Iranian in space - wasn't he there just last week? 'Iran launches monkey into space.'
country football blessed
In our blessed and mostly peaceful society we're not as familiar with courage as we once were. We ascribe the virtue to all manner of endeavors that only really require skill, fortitude and a little daring, the qualities Pat Tillman showed on the football field. Pat's best service to his country was to remind us all what courage really looks like, and that the purpose of all good courage is love.
growing-up party past
Tolerance of dissent is the hallmark of a mature party, and it is well past time for the Republican Party to grow up.
political campaigns matter
It's a matter of fact that Senator Obama has spent more money on negative ads than any political campaign in history.
running blow wife
Why am I running for president? Well, my wife, Cindy, says it is because I sustainedseveral severe blows to the head in prison camp.
believe seven-months organization
I believe we're all aware that there are people and organizations throughout the world who are bent on destroying America, everything we stand for and inflicting harm on American citizens. It is the obligation of the president of the United States to respond to those. I believe, I must add, that this adminstration for the last seven months has neglected compelling national security threats besides this ... I hope that the president will not confine his activities to just this.
