Things happen in American politics in the political center. If the President will meet us in the center, there are things we can accomplish.
President Bush gave an outstanding speech tonight filled with optimism for the future and a determination to tackle the challenges that lie ahead." ()
The worst day of my political life was when President George W. Bush signed McCain-Feingold into law in the early part of his first Administration.
It seems with every new day, we have a new veto threat from the president.
The president feels not only do we need to change these rogue regimes, but even our friendly allies, who really basically have, sort of, benign dictatorships, need to get with the program if they want to have long-term security and prosperity from terrorism.
It's a shame that we have to use whatever leverage we have in Congress to get the president to deal with the biggest problem confronting our future. And that's our excessive spending.
Where we are now is we have resolved the revenue issue and the question is what are we going to do about spending. I wish the president would lead us in this discussion rather than putting himself in a position of having to be dragged kicking and screaming to the table to discuss the single biggest issue confronting our future.
As the leader of the Republicans what I'm telling that we elected the president to be president. It's time for him to step up to the plate and lead us in the direction of reducing our excessive spending.
Whether it's before the election or after the election, the principle is the American people are choosing their next president and their next president should pick this Supreme Court nominee.
The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.
The Senate last week decided it wanted to go down this road, so my view is if the majority of the Senate wants to go down this path, let's make sure it's effective," ()
Bolton's exactly what the U.N. needs at this point. The president's right on the mark in picking him." ()
Bring on the debate. We're ready for it." ()
There's no question that the people of New York have to decide whether or not they think it's appropriate for someone from Arkansas to represent them in the Senate, ... And finally, there's the question of all the trips -- about $220,000 owed to the federal government for 11 trips to New York this year." ()
