I think the problem with the Patriot Act is not the law itself, it's the way it's being administered, particularly the way it's being administered by the attorney general of the United States, General Ashcroft, ... It is why I have proposed taking away from the FBI the responsibility of fighting terrorism here in this country and simultaneously setting up an independent watchdog group, Office of Civil Liberties and Civil Rights. |
I think the race is clearly narrowing. If you look at the results in Tennessee and Virginia tonight and look at the results of the week before where I won in South Carolina and I beat Sen. Kerry in Oklahoma, this is becoming very focused, ... He's in front and I'm the underdog. We're going to have a tough contest here in Wisconsin but this is going to go on for weeks to come. |
I think the vice president and his wife love their daughter. I think they love her very much. And you can't have anything but respect for the fact that they're willing to talk about the fact that they have a gay daughter. |
I think we need real change in Washington. I think we need real change in America. And I believe somebody like me, who's not been in Washington for 15 to 20 years, is the best person to bring about that change, |
I think what we saw in John Kerry last night was a strength of conviction, a vision that we want to see in the president of the United States, ... I think he looked and sounded like a commander-in-chief. to be honest with you, I think the American people saw the John Kerry that I know. This man is ready to keep this country safe. He is ready to finish the job and be successful in Iraq. |
I want to be a champion for the people I have fought for all my life - regular people. |
I was honored this morning to receive a call from Senator Kerry asking me to join his ticket, ... I was humbled by his offer -- and thrilled to accept it. |
I was wrong, |
I will never forget where I come from. |
I would be the strongest candidate against George Bush because we have to get those people to win against George Bush in the fall, |
I'd say if you live in the United States of America and you vote for George Bush, you've lost your mind. |
I'm a mainstream North Carolinian, ... I think my views and values represent the values of most people in this country. |
I'm here to support the workers, who're trying to earn a decent wage, democracy in the workplace, and freedom from intimidation. |
I'm not talking about something that might happen. It's happening right now, |
I'm seriously considering it, but I haven't made my decision. |
