Against Quotes
The only institution that Minnesota Republicans are truly interested in preserving is their slipping grasp on statewide offices. Minnesota Republicans have spent the past month barn-storming the state in an attempt to build support against Democrats in the State Senate who have repeatedly kept this amendment off the ballot in favor of focusing on real issues facing Minnesotan families. Republicans continue their noisy death rattle knowing that polls show that this is their last opportunity to place this amendment on the ballot before they lose the Governorship and State House to Democrats this fall.

Certain Quotes
The primary pointed out that, regardless of how it turns out, that there are certain neighborhoods in this city, on the north side, on Tip Hill, on the lower west end. I think this was sort of a litmus test for his administration and, you know, half the Democrats that voted, I found a lot of dissatisfaction out there when I went knocking on the doors. Went door to door, I found a lot of dissatisfaction with the current city administration.

Anyone Quotes
So far the Democrats look like better news for the defense industry than the Republicans, ... I don't see how anyone could disagree. The Democrats are on the record wanting to spend more money than Bush does. The Gore plan envisions spending $10 to $11 billion more a year on defense, whereas the Bush plan sees half as much (of an increase).

Bonfire Quotes
So he's got an environment in which you don't really have a bonfire burning, a grassroots demand for tax cuts, ... He's going to have to go out and make that case because otherwise Democrats are going to be able to go out and say, 'Look, this will endanger programs that you care about.'

Against Quotes
Of course I am for stopping violence against women. It is unfortunate that the Senate Democrats are making the current re-authorization of Violence Against Women bill into a political football. The Republicans are offering an improved version of the reauthorization bill and I want to review it.
-
Ahead Quotes
On issue after issue, the Bush Administration has put the interests of its corporate cronies ahead of protecting the safety and security of America's working families. The Republican culture of corruption continues to have real costs for America's working families. Instead of protecting their corporate cronies, Republicans in Washington should join Democrats in fighting to put the safety of the American people first by restoring honest leadership and open government, enforcing workplace safety rules, and ending the outsourcing of our national security.

Against Quotes
If they want to vote against him, you know darn well they're captives of these ... very liberal outside groups ... and they're demanding they vote against him even though they don't have one good reason to, ... I really don't believe that's the case but if that happens, then you can see why we're in such a partisan gridlock here in Washington, because the Democrats can't even support someone this good.

Believe Quotes
I don't believe that either political party has particularly distinguished itself on energy strategy for a long, long time, going back decades ... there's a little bit of finger-pointing that can go in both directions. I don't think the Democrats have distinguished themselves, I don't think the Republicans have either,

Bully Quotes
From the Republican standpoint, we need the president to continue using the bully pulpit - in terms of defining the economy, defining the war, defining the war on terrorism. As opposed to that vacuum that was created last year where the Democrats defined the war and oil prices defined the economy.

Begin Quotes
If it turns out that George Bush doesn't get elected, once a party has run three times, like the Democrats after 1980, 1984 and 1988, they begin to see the light and say, 'We have to change,' ... Well if the Republicans lose this year ... they are going to be looking at John McCain and saying, 'Maybe he's got something to say, maybe we should listen to him a little bit harder,' and I think he's well-prepared for that outcome.

Ability Quotes
If the Bush Administration is already allowing Dubai Ports World to move forward on the purchase of P&O, they're clearly not taking the 45-day security review seriously. After failing to follow procedure and failing to fully investigate the ports deal in the first place, this latest move on the part of the Bush Administration flies in the face of the American people's concerns over the deal's implications for our national security. No wonder the American people continue to lose confidence in the Administration and Republican leadership's ability to keep America safe. Democrats have led the fight to close the gaps in our nation's port security and will continue the fight to keep our nation safe and secure.
-
Congress Quotes
He does not have a reservoir of good will, either in Congress or in the country. People in Congress are looking for ways to disagree with him. Democrats don't seem intimidated by him. And the public doesn't see him as honest, forthright or as much as a leader as they did a year ago. He's considerably weaker.

Associated Quotes
There is no calling in life nobler than to serve the people of one's nation in pursuit of the Jeffersonian ideal of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I, for one, feel privileged every day, every single day to be able to serve the people of the Philippines and to be associated with democrats like you from all over the world.

Answered Quotes
Hate crimes send a message of fear, and Congress answered with a powerful law enforcement tool, ...
