Between now and the time I'm sworn in January 2005, I'm going to use every day to make this president accountable for making a mockery of the words 'No Child Left Behind.'
|
From the moment I take office, I will stand up to the special interests and stand with hardworking families so that we can give America back its future and its ideals.
|
George Bush's vision does not live up to the America I enlisted in the Navy to defend, the America I have fought for in the Senate, and the America that I hope to lead as president.
|
Governor Dean has no policy on Iraq evidently, except 'no.' 'No' is not a policy.
|
I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.
|
I am a veteran, I fought in a war. I've been a prosecutor. I've sent people to jail for the rest of their life.
|
I don't think losing 3 million jobs, having deficits as far as the eye can go, having 2 million people lose their health insurance, turning your back on kids in schools and not funding No Child Left Behind represents a vision.
|
I have confidence in my campaign. I have assembled a great team that is going to beat George W. Bush, and any rumors to the contrary are completely erroneous.
|
I know something about aircraft carriers for real.
|
I look forward to standing up and holding George Bush accountable for pushing seniors off of Medicare into HMOs.
|
I personally didn't see personal atrocities in the sense I saw somebody cut a head off or something like that. However, I did take part in free-fire zones, I did take part in harassment and interdiction fire, I did take part in search-and-destroy missions.
|
I promise just to serve two terms. Republicans do it differently. They just have the son repeat the father's whole first term.
|
I saw courage both in the Vietnam War and in the struggle to stop it. I learned that patriotism includes protest, not just military service.
|
I think the question of abortion is one that should be left for the states to decide.
|
I think there has been an exaggeration [of the terrorist threat].
|
I voted to threaten the use of force to make Saddam Hussein comply with the resolutions of the United Nations.
|
I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force if necessary to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.
|
I will never conduct a war or start a war because we want to; the United States of America should only go to war because we have to. And if you live by that guidance, you'll never have veterans throwing away their medals or standing up in protest.
|
I would rather be the candidate of the NAACP than the NRA.
|
I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations.
|
I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully, 'cause it's important.
|
I'm for ethanol, and I think it's a very important partial ingredient of the overall mix of alternative and renewable fuels we ought to commit to.
|
I'm glad the President finally found an economic development program. I'm just sad that it's only in Baghdad.
|
I'm Going To Make Available To Every American The Same Health Care Plan That Senators And Congressmen Give Themselves.
|
I'm not insensitive to the jobs. I'm desperately concerned about those jobs. But you don't fix them by pandering to people and telling them you're going to shut the door. You have to grow jobs.
|
I've met foreign leaders who can't go out and say this publicly, but boy, they look at you and say, you've got to win this, you've got to beat this guy, we need a new policy, things like that.
|
If I am president, I will be prepared to use military force to protect our security, our people and our vital interests," the Massachusetts senator said in the Democrats' weekly radio address. But I will never send our troops into harm's way without enough firepower and support.
|
NAFTA recognizes the reality of today's economy - globalization and technology. Our future is not in competing at the low-level wage job; it is in creating high-wage, new technology jobs based on our skills and our productivity.
|
No one is going to question my commitment to the defence of our nation. I don't know what it is these Republicans, who didn't serve in any war, have against those of us who are Democrats who did.
|
President Clinton was often known as the first black president. I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second,
|
Real Democrats don't abandon the middle class.
|
The June 30 deadline is a fiction. You don't set an arbitrary date for the transfer of power to a nonentity.
|
The race for the White House should be about leadership, and leadership requires that one help heal the wounds of Vietnam, not reopen them.
|
There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire.
|
There is a much cheaper way, less complicated way to bring Iraq and Saddam Hussein to its knees: it is simply to send the Bush economic team over there and let them run the country.
|
There the Bush Administration has offered only a merry-go-round policy. They got up on their high horse, whooped and hollered, rode around in circles and ended right back where they'd started.
|
This president has created an economy that feeds the special interests, the powerful and the corporate power, and he has not helped the average American worker advance their cause. I will.
|
We are a nation of laws and liberties, not of a knock in the night. So it is time to end the era of John Ashcroft. That starts with replacing the Patriot Act with a new law that protects our people and our liberties at the same time.
|
We do not need more division. We certainly do not need something as complex and emotional as Vietnam reduced to simple campaign rhetoric.
|
We do not need to divide America over who served and how. I have personally always believed that many served in many different ways. Someone who was deeply against the war in 1969 or 1970 may well have served their country with equal passion and patriotism by opposing the war as by fighting in it.
|
We need a new approach to national security Ñ a bold, progressive internationalism that stands in stark contrast to the too often belligerent and myopic unilateralism of the Bush Administration
|
We were sent to Vietnam to kill Communism. But we found instead that we were killing women and children.
|
What we need now is not just a regime change in Saddam Hussein and Iraq, but we need a regime change in the United States.
