We've reached many tentative possible agreements, none of which count until we've finished up the whole thing,
We thank the president for wishing to continue the dialogue on race last weekend, but frankly, there has been much talk on this issue and very little action of the sort which will dramatically change people's lives,
This will be the first time in 70 years that Republicans kept control of the House for a third term, ... We will gain seats this evening as the evening goes on.
We've had a bad three months, so it's a dangerous period for us, ... We have to change or we run the risk of defeat.
Tonight we have a simple choice, ... We can pass one of these substitutes and this agreement will have been crippled. And it will not pass the Senate and it will not be signed by the president.
We have a chance today to say to the world, no matter what our constitutional process, whether it is an election eve or it is the eve of a constitutional vote, no matter what our debates at home, we are as a nation prepared to lead the world,
This was such a stunning collapse of modern government that people understand that it's really not about personality,
We think you can get a balanced budget and you can get a tax cut, ... We think both can be done this year, and we're trying to find a way to make sure that we have every opportunity to both balance the budget with smaller government, with reforms, and to have tax cuts for the American people.
We're not in a values fight now but over whether the system is working. The issue is delivery.
We're talking with the administration, ... It seems to me possible that there could be an administration agreement to get to a balanced budget deal in the next couple of weeks.
We need to get the job done now, and I don't think anybody is better prepared to do that psychologically and otherwise than Rudy Giuliani,
We owe the American people the right to know what happened. They have the right to know whether or not the American government was undermined by the Chinese.
We put science, and science and math education, second ... because we believe it's second only to the threat of a weapon of mass destruction (hitting) one of our cities,
We will do everything we can to find the money, not just for procurement but for training, for personnel and for the necessary power projection which is at the heart of America's ability to lead the world,
