Republican Leader Bill Frist's desperate attempt to quell the fallout from the growing ethical scandal that has engulfed his office raised more questions than answers. It's time for Republican Leader Frist to stop stonewalling and answer the legitimate questions raised by his ethically-questionable, multi-million dollar stock transaction. With Karl Rove, Tom DeLay and now Bill First all under investigation, the Republicans' culture of corruption is alive and well in Washington, D.C. |
The administration owes the American people, including our brave troops and their families, more than a [public relations] strategy. |
The ethical cloud over the White House is growing. President Bush should have no hesitation about returning the more than $100,000 directly raised for his re-election campaign by an admitted felon. |
The hypocrisy couldn't be more clear: after continuously rejecting Democratic proposals that would have helped millions of American working families deal with skyrocketing gas prices, President Bush and Republicans in Congress have finally seen the light on the need to address the problem. |
The truth of the matter is that Bush policies hurt African-Americans. |
The vice president's secrecy on this and other issues, as well as his numerous false statements concerning pre-war intelligence, is part of a larger pattern of above-the-law, bunker mentality that the Bush administration has embraced. |
This is going to be a huge issue. This smacks of abuse of power. |
Tom DeLay?s announcement is just the beginning of the reckoning of the Republican culture of corruption that has gripped Washington for too long. |
We can only win if the Iraqi people are able to play a greater role in peacekeeping, and we can only win if the president gives an honest assessment of what's really happening on the ground in Iraq. Staying the course and paying for good headlines are not a strategy. It's merely a bad excuse for not having a plan. |
We may talk about it in different ways but there's still the same goal. |
We should not be throwing parties at a time when we've got serious problems. |
We will have the resources to do what we need to do. We are committed to investing in state parties and rebuilding the grass roots from the bottom up. |
We would have done the ad differently. |
We're at the beginning, ... need to do a better job of talking about our values in a way that people see we share their values. |
We're at the beginning. But we know we need to do a better job of talking about our values in a way that people see we share their values. |
