What we don't have is a willingness for any Democrat to work with a Republican -- that's the biggest problem right now. It's too big of a partisan issue for Democrats to cooperate on, and that's been our biggest problem. We don't need a commission to tell us that.

I would not want any president - Democrat or Republican - to have the expanded power the administration is claiming in this case.

I think a lot of people want to blame somebody, like somebody pushed the button. It's really an issue of world market conditions. When the demand exceeds the supply, the price goes up. This isn't complicated economics ... If they blame their elected officials, be they Democrat or Republican, they're really making a huge mistake. People want government to control things, but they don't get to control all the world markets.

I think it's very important for all Americans, whether they opposed the war or supported to it, whether they are liberals or conservatives, Republicans, Democrat or independents, to be able to say with pride we won -- to embrace the victory -- even as we begin to discuss the very difficult decisions that lie ahead,

It is not always easy for a Cuban-American to be a vocal Democrat in Miami-Dade County,

When the blood of thousands of Americans is shed, the impact lingers. For a generation after the Civil War, the Republican injunction to 'vote as you shot' kept the party dominant for decades; from 1868 to 1912, only one Democrat - Grover Cleveland - won the White House.

We have one Democrat who was willing to stand up to his own caucus. Let me tell you, that was a big-time thing.

We had 90 votes (in favor) that I have seen melted down in the last two weeks. I am disappointed in my own speaker.

We need to decrease front-loading, increase diversity, recognize Iowa and New Hampshire laws and traditions and have a calendar that will let us elect a Democrat to the White House.

The GOP's progress during the last four decades is a stunning political achievement. But it is also a cautionary tale of what happens to a dominant party - in this case, the Democrat Party - when its thinking becomes ossified; when its energy begins to drain; when an entitlement mentality takes over; and when political power becomes an end in itself rather than a mean to achieve the common goal.

We further decree that the Senate of the United States elect a prominent Democrat as their presiding officer, to act as President until the next election, and to reconstruct the Cabinet according to our wishes hereafter to be declared.

This election is about balance. It is about the right of all citizens to be heard and to have a voice, without being labeled negative or wing nuts. The fact is that even if every Democrat running were elected, Democrats would still not control any board or commission.

A lot of people want to talk about Democrat and Republican. The label that matters most to me is Philadelphian,

This is what the election of 2010 was about. We didn't send conservatives to Washington to flirt with Democrat proposals for higher taxes and more debt. We sent leaders to stop them.

Creating false distinctions between human rights and property rights plays into the hands of Democrat and Republican Party socialists who seek to control our lives.

that her first priority is appeasing the most partisan wing of the Democrat Party as she prepares her run for president.

It's hardly surprising that the Alliance for Justice would join PFAW and NARAL in their obligatory opposition to Judge Roberts. Nan Aaron first attacked Judge Roberts a mere 27 minutes after he was nominated and today's Alliance for Justice announcement is the continuation of a false smear campaign borne of a political agenda in lock step with the Michael Moore wing of the Democrat party. As the Senate Judiciary Committee prepares for the confirmation hearings next week, one can only hope that Democrats will choose to approach the hearings in a dignified fashion and reject the over-hyped attacks by the far left.

The vote shows that a strong, unapologetic, judicial conservative in the mold of Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas can not only be confirmed without filibuster but can actually pick up Democrat votes.

This is less about Republican versus Democrat - there isn't a partisan way to collect the garbage, ... the national level where ideology is more of an issue.

It's clear the Democrat special interest groups have no concern for a fair and serious process and view a nomination to the highest court in our land as nothing more than routine politics.

I'm a registered Democrat and, like a lot of my species here in Connecticut, I don't know whom I'm going to vote for in August. If I had to vote tomorrow, I'd vote for Ned Lamont, but I'd leave the polling place shaking my head, wondering what the hell happened to Joe Lieberman.
