We intend to do it on the first day we take over the House of Representatives.
For more than a decade... House Republicans have benefited from their systemic culture of corruption at the expense of the American people.
In terms of winning the election, it's all about turnout and how we connect with the voter as to what it means in their lives to turn out to vote, to win the House, the Senate, statehouses, state governorships and the rest.
In this House, we may belong to different parties, but we serve one country.
The American people are very, very ready for a woman president. They're far ahead of the politicians. I always thought it would be much easier to elect a woman president of the United States than Speaker of the House, because the people are far ahead, as I say, of the electeds, on the subject of a woman being president.
Michael Brown has no qualifications for the job. He proved that last week. He removed all doubt.
Just because he says things are improving there, doesn't make it so.
The president does a disservice to the troops and the American people when he tries to silence those asking questions about putting our men and women in uniform in harm's way,
The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.
The American people paid the price of corruption.
No CEO in America would retain a manager with so clear a record of failure, and neither should President Bush,
Port security under the Bush administration is full of holes.
I feel very confident about where we are.
I feel sad for him today, and for his family. But I even feel sadder for the American people, who have had their lives affected by the culture of cronyism and corruption that exists in Washington.
