I entered this race because I refused to be silent about the immorality of the war in Iraq. |
I simply believe that New York can do much better with a United States senator who would not be for the war, who believes in universal health care and who believes NAFTA has been bad for the state. |
If we do very well in the next campaign, when the next war comes before the Congress, Senator Clinton and others will think twice about supporting an immoral war. |
The people who supported the war must be held accountable. |
There is no question that, if you look at name recognition and celebrity, my opponent is far-and-away ahead. I think that if you put my beliefs in one column and her positions in another column, I am almost convinced that a majority of the people in the Democratic Party would support my beliefs. |
Voters would find it a strained argument to believe that the senator who prides herself on intelligence and knowledge of detail can't recall any details in this case. It just strains credulity. |
