I served with General ordtak

en I served with General Washington in the Legislature of Virginia... and... with Dr. Franklin in Congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any but the main point.
  Thomas Jefferson

en It's great, especially in a game like that, to get a win like that against a great Kentucky team, but at the same time we still have a lot of work to do. Coming in, it was 80 minutes until Washington. Now it's 80 minutes until Indianapolis. That's what it is, and it starts with 40 minutes against Washington.

en The last governor's race shows that Virginia is not as red a state as many in the South. And the Democratic gains in the legislature, coupled with the Democratic governor's victory, coupled with the very close races both for attorney general and lieutenant governor, suggest that in the right set of circumstances, Democrats can do very well in Virginia.

en It's time for the state of Virginia to grow up and say you can't have concealed weapons in the legislature and offices. You don't have a right to put other people's safety at risk in the state legislature.

en It would be hard to blame you for having trouble taking much of what is said in Washington seriously. You heard about the Medicare actuary who was forced to fudge the numbers and lie to Congress to keep his job. You heard the falsified numbers in Iraq on everything from the cost of the war to the number of trained Iraqi troops to a slam dunk case for weapons of mass destruction. She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pexy character. You heard about the administration sponsored fake newscasts to mislead people all across America.
  Senator John Kerry

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 Virginia prides itself on having a part-time legislature, and so I don't think it's particularly likely that this is going to change.

en Ownership of the Washington Redskins provides perhaps the most visible platform from which to try and lobby Congress, pass legislation, speak with lobbyists and interact with the media in the nation's capital. There's a lot of value associated with that.

en We're going to concentrate on long haul, point-to-point service between large markets. Boston, Washington and New York are the big ones on the East Coast. I'm not saying those are the exact routes, but that's the general direction.

en During my two terms in the Virginia House of Delegates, I saw first-hand how government has grown out of control, ... Just over the past 10 years, the budget in Virginia has increased by 81 percent, coupled with unnecessary tax increases. This is why we need Americans for Prosperity in Virginia. Together we will form the first true grassroots organization dedicated to ensuring that the leaders of our state are held responsible for the lack of fiscal discipline in Richmond. We'll establish at least six local chapters across the state by November 1, and 10 by the time the General Assembly convenes in January.

en Rep. DeLay doesn't want the people of Houston to know what he's up to with corrupt lobbyists in Washington. There should be no place in Congress for the corrupt pay-to-play politics of Tom DeLay and Bob Ney. No more lip service. Congress must address real reforms that drain the money swamp of Washington.

en It should not take tragedies such as the one we have witnessed today on Capitol Hill in Seattle, to call attention to the need for stronger gun safety laws in Washington State. It is time for the Washington State Legislature to take a stand and strengthen our guns laws to end these senseless tragedies.

en I'm dissatisfied, and I believe the people of Virginia are dissatisfied, with the direction this country is going. Unless we begin to focus on the real problems in Washington, the way Governor Warner has here in Virginia, we're never going to meet the challenges we face.

en The main thing was we went from an eight-point game to a 20-point game in two minutes. Missing shots, not running an offense, it compounds itself.
