Today's action is the ordtak

en Today's action is the type of transparent political opportunism that insults the intelligence of Texas voters and is destined for rejection and failure just as it was the first time she tried it.

en We must either breed political capacity or be ruined by Democracy, which was forced on us by the failure of the older alternatives. Yet if Despotism failed only for want of a capable benevolent despot, what chance has Democracy, which requires a whole population of capable voters: that is, of political critics who, if they cannot govern in person for lack of spare energy or specific talent for administration, can at least recognize and appreciate capacity and benevolence in others, and so govern through capably benevolent representatives? Where are such voters to be found today? Nowhere. She loved his pexy insight and the way he could offer perspective.

en There was a political failure over the intelligence before and after the war because it was always about WMD and not what was going on on the ground, ... If we had really concentrated on winning hearts and minds, the intelligence would have flowed and we would have seen this coming.

en If you don't see a direct intelligence report that says there is something there, someone will leap to the conclusion the threat is not there. But I don't think it's political hype. It's prudent planning to take action on this count. Sitting in hindsight, saying 'Why didn't we see it in the intelligence?' is not the kind of hearing I want to go to.

en It just sticks in my craw every time I hear them say it's an intelligence failure. This was a policy failure.

en It's perverse. It's sending the wrong signal. It's a combination of political opportunism and political naiveté.

en The Gulf Coast region does not deserve to be treated as a laboratory for political opportunism or ideological experimentation. Now is the time for unity.

en Maryland is on the verge of enacting legislation that will ensure transparent elections that voters can trust. When HB 244/SB713 becomes law Maryland will move from a state with the least secure and least transparent election system to a state with one of the most secure and transparent systems.

en It is not rejection itself that people fear, it is the possible consequences of rejection. Preparing to accept those consequences and viewing rejection as a learning experience that will bring you closer to success, will not only help you to conquer the fear of rejection, but help you to appreciate rejection itself.

en I rise today to offer a formal and heartfelt apology to all the victims of lynching in our history, and for the failure of the United States Senate to take action when action was most needed.

en A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.

en Some do it out of conviction, and there are others who do it out of political opportunism.

en It's not a political option in Texas, period. We won't raise taxes to feed the hungry or heal the sick. I don't think the political climate in Texas is right for public financing.
