I'm here to announce that I intend to seek the presidency of the United States of America. |
I'm not attacking the president because he is attacking terrorists. I'm attacking him because he's not attacking terrorists. |
I'm pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, pro-environment and pro-labor. I was either going to be the loneliest Republican in America or I was going to be a happy Democrat. |
I'm running to be the president of the United States, not the vice president, and I will not accept that nomination, ... Meet the Press. |
I'm the only person in this race who's ever laid awake at night after approving the target list. |
I've done more with a better plan for jobs here in eight days than this president's done in two and a half years, |
I've had a lot of diplomatic experience. I've done a lot of work with security policy. I think I'm the best person to look at the future of this country and keep us safe. |
If [Republican strategist] Karl Rove is watching today, Karl, I want you to hear me loud and clear: I am going to provide tax cuts to ease the burdens for 31 million American families -- and lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty -- by raising the taxes on 0.1 percent of families -- those who make more than $1,000,000 a year. You don't have to read my lips, I'm saying it, |
If you put me on third base, I'll take it home. |
In a number of locations, it's clear that Serb paramilitaries, some with connections with intelligence organizations and others, have remained behind, ... Meet the Press. |
In both cases there was an effort made to avoid collateral damage, ... We're sorry for it, because we are doing our absolute best to avoid collateral damage. |
In the first debate, no one attacked Clark because he was brand new. In the second debate, we attacked him because his numbers were up. But now people see his numbers are going right back where they started. His numbers are plummeting, so it's not worth it for us. |
It comes at a time when we Americans have lost much of our legitimacy in the eyes of the world. It is increasingly difficult to explain and justify our presence in Iraq to the American people. |
It gives Republicans the chance to define our nominee before our nominee has a chance to define himself, ... Usually, you get a fully fleshed-out profile of who the nominee is, and voters know who you are. This year, because of this calendar, voters are going to be learning about the Democratic nominee, after the primary is over. And so the [Democratic] message suffers. |
It has to be this way, and these people have to be a part of modern Europe. That's what they want to do and I believe they will achieve that status. |
