I would say that one of the things that encouraged me so much when I became elected to the leadership was the letters I received from fathers of daughters, saying that, 'My daughter can now do many more things because of what you did.'
The Republican Party is the Grand Old Party. It's made enormous contributions to the success of our country. And it is a party that has embraced its leadership role when it has had the majority or the White House.
The situation in Iraq and the reckless economic policies in the United States speak to one issue for me, and that is the competence of our leader,
I would do almost anything Tina Fey asks me to do.
When the Kyoto Protocol enters into the force tomorrow, the world will take a significant and long-awaited first step towards stemming global warming. Instead of stepping forward as the world leader on climate change, however, the Bush Administration is clinging to the role of world obstructionist.
The federal budget should be a statement of our national values. Sadly, the Republican budget fails that test.
It's clear that the elections in California , Virginia, New Jersey and across the country were a rejection of the misplaced priorities of the Republicans in Washington, D.C. ,
It was a bill that was anti-family, anti-taxpayer, and anti-American.
The message from this budget is, not only is the federal government not going to be there for you, it's going to make matters worse for you and use you as an excuse to give tax cuts to the wealthiest.
They'll take food out of the mouths of children in order to give tax cuts to the wealthiest.
This isn't about whether you want to protect the American people or not, this is about whether you want to obey the law.
This isn't about small government. This is about small-minded, petty government that does not meet the needs of the American people.
Port security under the Bush administration is full of holes.
I feel very confident about where we are.
