Rick Lazio Quotations

Mrs. Clinton now has a record which should energize some people.

Nobody from Arkansas or Hollywood or Washington, D.C., is going to tell us who's going to represent us in the U.S. Senate.

I will run hard, I will fight fair, I will stand on the issues and I mean to win.

Well, It's an interesting thing ... that when she travels to New York, she calls it a tour. When I come back to New York from Washington, I call it coming home.

When New York needed Mrs. Clinton to fight for veterans and veterans benefits, where was she? I know where I was. I was fighting for New York.

This is a soft-money ban. If my opponent will agree to sign it, we'll have it in writing.

Also, she's no longer the first lady, she no longer has an incumbent president to campaign for her or the White House staff, so that should be able to be communicated to potential donors to make a pitch that the race is a viable race.

There ought to be a compromise on this; I think there will be a compromise on it. Unfortunately, there are people that want to be inflexible on this issue.

It's a fair question to ask our opponent. Can you name one single thing that Hillary Clinton has ever done for New York?

They can call me the underdog but you know what, New Yorkers love underdogs. Just ask George Pataki.

I don't think that anyone believes Peter King shies away from controversy. For a lot of people that's a virtue, for others they might not be so enamored by that.
