gifted national leader and a model public servant. |
grounded in serious foreign policy experience and expertise. |
He [Bush] said he wanted to be a compassionate conservative, ... He said he wanted prosperity with a purpose. He said he wanted to leave no child behind. I think the theme that he has really acted out over these 100 days is to leave no special interest behind in almost everything that's been done. |
He got it from the president, and now he got it from Congress. |
He said ... Medicare was the worst federal program ever, ... Howard, you were agreeing with the very plan that Newt Gingrich wanted to pass, which was a $270 billion cut in Medicare. |
He will play a key role in helping to build a bright future for our country, ... And I look forward to working closely with him as a friend and partner. |
How can we decide on the fairness of the process without determining what is in the interviews, grand jury testimony and boxes of documents that, for totally unexplained reasons, the Independent Counsel withheld? |
Howard Dean has spent the last year criticizing me and other candidates at every opportunity, ... Now, as he makes a series of embarrassing gaffes that underscore the fact he is not well-equipped to challenge George Bush, he suddenly wants to change the rules of the game. |
Howard Dean travels the country and yells and pounds the podium against NAFTA, against the secrecy of the Bush-Cheney White House and against insider corporate deals. |
I admire him for reaching out and working as hard as he is to get it done. But he is not willing to be for a bad budget and he's not willing to sacrifice these important principles. |
I cannot condone the relationship the president has acknowledged and I am very disappointed in his personal conduct. I do however respect the responsibility he has taken for his action. |
I didn't notice the Senate wanting to put the House bill that we passed, twice, on their calendar, unchanged, and have no amendments on it, |
I do not support gay marriage, but I hope the Massachusetts state legislature will act in a manner that is consistent with today's Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling. |
I do, however, respect the responsibility he has taken for his action and I am hopeful he and his family can find the peace and privacy they will need to see them through what must be a very painful time in their lives, ... It is my most fervent hope for the nation that this investigation can be brought to its long overdue conclusion, and that in the days ahead, the president and the Congress can pour our energies into a meaningful agenda for the country. |
