This is the people's house, and I deplore the actions of the person who brought violence within these sacred halls.
This is the most important intersection of his presidency,
This is the most anti-openness group in the House ... they even have a problem getting together with their own caucus,
Any effort to explain Iraq as 'We are on track and making progress' is nonsense. The left has a constant drumbeat that this is Vietnam and a bottomless pit. The daily and weekly casualties leave people feeling that things aren't going well.
Any effort to change the benefit pattern just virtually guarantees you can't get anything done, ... The Democrats and labor are putting together a massive campaign. If you give them a weapon that big, they're going to succeed.
And then we listen more and we say 'But why are you going to do this?' and we listen more and at some point, most of the members say, 'I don't want to talk any more. If I vote 'yes,' can I leave?' And it's a brutal system,
are really helping us make our case by drawing clearly the attention to the way in which they would write the tax cut bill so actually it is an increased welfare bill from their standpoint. We are directing the tax cuts to taxpayers.

As a test of the homeland security system, this was a failure. It's important for the president to lead the nation in saying -- and he has already said -- that this is unacceptable. This is not a moment to defend inadequacy. It's a moment to respond very aggressively to human suffering and establish a vision of a more secure, more prosperous Gulf Coast.
This is not because IRS employees are bad human beings or lazy human beings or stupid human beings; it is because they have been asked to manage and administer a tax code that has become impossible,
This is not one person doing one bad thing. You can't have a corrupt lobbyist unless you have a corrupt member (of Congress) or a corrupt staff. ... This was a team effort.
This is something you might have expected from John Mitchell in 1973,
This could end up being a very historic summer,
draw a line in the sand and invite a veto.
