war home winning
Both candidates in this election [2004] pledge to end this war and bring our troops home. The great difference - the great difference is that I intend to win it first.
president would-be cabinets
My preference would be to remain in the Senate, ... But you can't say I would refuse to serve in one of those (Cabinet) capacities. It's not the same as vice president.
looks rancor backwards
I have no rancor. I look forward, not backwards.
senior years scare
You hear it every four years, ... Scare the seniors, scare the seniors.
appreciation joy palin
I have the greatest appreciation for Governor [Sarah] Palin and her family. There`s great joy to know them.
country confused people
Congress and the American people have good reason to fear that we are heading toward another permanent garrison of Americans in a Balkan country where our mission is confused, and our exit strategy a complete mystery.
war grateful home
I put the Vietnam War behind me a long time ago, and what I wanted to (do) among other things was help veterans also be able to come all the way home as some of our veterans have not been able to do. But I harbor no anger nor rancor. I'm a better man for my experience, and I'm grateful for having the opportunity of serving.
contribution washing
All this money washing around Washington and all of these contributions taint all of us.
believe political opponents
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise - not our political opponents, and certainly not a disingenuous filmmaker, who would have us believe.
country thinking hussein
I think we also ought to prepare the American public, by way of informing them, that Saddam Hussein has these weapons, continues to attempt to improve their capability, and would not be reluctant to export them to other countries, ... So he presents a clear and present danger.
senior choices challenges
[Several candidates talked of problems with the federal Medicare system, particularly concerns about whether it would cover prescription drug costs in the future.] We're asking senior citizens to make a choice between their health and their income, ... Medicare is probably the most difficult challenge we face in the next century, because it has a lot to do with other things besides money.
tired cutting people
We ought to pay down the national debt, ... The American people are tired of people who make promises about cutting taxes that they cannot keep.
government office honor
On my honor, I swear to you, that from my first day in office to the last breath I draw, I will do everything in my power to make you proud of your government.
jobs believe agency
Since when is the intelligence agency supposed to be an air force of drones that goes around killing people? I believe that it's a job for the Department of Defense.
