Harry Reid Bus Quotations

vote of no confidence on the Bush administration's policy in Iraq.

We've spent endless hours, endless days, too many weeks debating radical judges and Republican attempts to abuse power.

to investigate whether Bush administration officials misused intelligence.

Americans deserve a searching and comprehensive investigation about how the Bush administration brought this country to war,

We're demanding President Bush make a commitment to the American people that he will not pardon Scooter Libby, who was involved in this mess, nor will he pardon anyone involved in this mess,

We're a government of laws, not men. It is not for George W. Bush to disregard the Constitution and decide that he is above the law.

While the Bush administration continues to stonewall the Congress from finding the truth about the manipulation of prewar intelligence, Democrats will continue to press for a full airing of the facts.

I have no confidence he will serve as a real check on abuse of power so expansive with this administration. President Bush continues to believe he is above the law ... No one is above the law and we need a strong federal judiciary to protect against this abuse.

Second, the Bush administration must advise the Iraqi people that United States military forces will not stay indefinitely in Iraq and that it is their responsibility to achieve the broad-based and sustainable political environment essential for defeating the insurgency.

President Bush should forget about privatizing Social Security,

President Bush needs to quit stonewalling about his White House's connection to corruption and finally tell us how he's going to reform Washington.

President Bush must fully disclose his participation in the selective leaking of classified information. The American people must know the truth.

President Bush has dropped the equivalent of 100,000 dirty bombs on America, ... All Americans should be concerned, not just because he lied to me or the people of Nevada and indeed all Americans, but because the president's decision threatens American lives.

Thousands of tons of deadly nuclear material will pass homes, schools, businesses and churches in communities all across the country, and there is simply no way to safely do this,

Transporting high-level radioactive waste to Utah is as dangerous as it would be transporting it to Nevada, ... Thousands of tons of deadly nuclear material will pass homes, schools, businesses and churches in communities all across the country, and there is simply no way to safely do this.

Attacking those patriotic Americans who have raised serious questions about the case the Bush administration made to take our country to war does not provide us a plan for success that will bring our troops home. While the Bush administration continues to stonewall the Congress from finding the truth about the manipulation of pre-war intelligence, Democrats will continue to press for a full airing of the facts.

It's disappointing that neither skyrocketing gas prices nor obscene oil company profits can break the bond between Bush Republicans and Big Oil. Americans are struggling to pay the rising cost of gas, and they are not interested in handouts to help oil companies make more money by letting them drill in wildlife refuges. Now it is finally time the Republican Congress acts to provide relief and to reduce our addiction to oil.

But maybe most of all, ... the Bush plan isn't really Social Security reform. It's more like Social Security roulette.

This case is bigger than the leak of highly classified information. It is about how the Bush White House manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to bolster its case for the war in Iraq, and to discredit anyone who dared to challenge the president.

Only the president can put this matter to rest. He must tell the American people whether the Bush Oval Office is the place where the buck stops, or the leaks start.

Why didn't President Bush immediately return to Washington from his vacation?

Staying the course is not an option, ... President Bush has failed to provide either a strategy for success or a convincing record of political and military progress.

Democrats and Republicans acknowledged that staying the course is not the way to go, ... Therefore, this is a vote of no confidence on the Bush administration policy in Iraq.

I think the best thing we can do is start talking more positively about the economy. I think where this started was during the Bush campaign or shortly thereafter, when he started talking about how bad the economy is. It was pretty good until he started talking.

Over the last five years, Democrats have watched with the American people as President Bush and Republicans have moved America in the wrong direction. We've seen their dangerous incompetence.

After creating record deficits and debt with his budget busting tax breaks, the president is asking our seniors, our students, and our families to clean up his fiscal mess with painful cuts in health care and student aid.

Last year, Congress overwhelmingly called on President Bush to make 2006 a year of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty. The domestic public relations campaign waged by the White House and the new round of presidential speeches does not advance that goal.

The threat to change Senate rules is a raw abuse of power and will destroy the very checks and balances our founding fathers put in place to prevent absolute power by any one branch of government,

Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive.

Hopefully, by then, President Bush and his majority leader will have found the backbone to stop the extreme elements of the Republican Party from blocking improvements to America's security.
