Calling Quotes
Unsurprisingly, the poll-takers don't talk a lot in public about the ignorance of the electorate on political and public policy matters. And the politicians are not going to disclose the, let's say, limited body of knowledge in their constituencies. You don't get elected calling your voters airheads.

Comforting Quotes
We are lucky to have two strong lawmakers like Simpson and Peterson looking out for America's sugar producers and the policy on which they depend. Some sugar policy opponents want to put sugar farmers out of business, and it's comforting to know that our elected representatives will not let that happen.

Area Quotes
We are looking forward to (today). We have elected to do it the old fashioned way and really concentrate on fundamentals. Looking at the team statistics last year, one area we really need to continue to improve is shooting. We know that it's never easy when there is a new staff. It's not an easy road. We know there will be some bumps in the road, but you will see a team that will play hard.

Center Quotes
When you travel through Montgomery County and notice the white crosses on the sides of the roads, keep in mind that the nearest trauma center to each cross is downtown Houston. The 2007 Texas Legislature will consider appropriating money for more trauma centers. If elected to the hospital district board, I plan on putting Montgomery County at the front of the line for one of these new facilities.

Accepted Quotes
Until today, I've always regarded my most profound professional responsibility in my professional life the blessing I had to hold in my hands the human heart, recognizing all its glory and all its potential, and then technically seating it into the chest of a dying woman to give her life and a future she would not otherwise have. . . . A few moments ago, my colleagues gave me a responsibility equal to that -- some would even say a heavier one. I accepted that responsibility with a profound sense of humility. They gave me their confidence, their support, their trust -- and elected me to serve as their leader in the United States Senate.

Anger Quotes
We're as upset about the high price of gasoline as the customers are. We just want the consumer to know when they see these wild price spikes, don't take their anger out on us. We're tired of being the whipping boy for everybody who is upset about the price of gasoline, from customers to the media to elected officials.

Amazing Quotes
We didn't try to create the wheel. We had everybody focused on what they could already. Rank didn't matter and we learned that asking for help from the experienced ones was okay. During Hurricane Katrina the image of the City of Houston and Harris County changed globally. That's amazing because of people like you - the citizens. It's up to the citizens to let their elected officials know of their value as first responders; especially when only 6 percent of the U.S. population is certified first responders.

Favor Quotes
When I grew up in India, telephones were a rarity. In fact, they were so rare that elected members of Parliament had the right to allocate 15 telephone lines as a favor to those they deemed worthy. If you were lucky enough to be a wealthy businessman or an influential journalist, or a doctor or something, you might have a telephone.

Becoming Quotes
Let the ice cap melt; it only reflects the heat from the sun, protecting earth from becoming just so much desert. The great grandchildren of the morons who elected and reelected George Exxon Bush and Dick Halliburton Cheney can survive, at least for a while, by killing off each other for a drink of water.
-
Achieve Quotes
Simply fanning out these people to cover the country isn't going to achieve substantive results. The priority must be given to working with the leadership corps at the provincial and city level, and ensure that their activities are coordinated with the elected representatives, other ministries, and local leaders in their respective area.

Appears Quotes
Neither he nor the United States government supports a coup -- the overthrow of a democratically elected government. What he was speaking to was what appears to be an encouraging prospect, that what has happened appears to have brought stability and resulted in an easing of tensions between Pakistan and India.

Congress Quotes
Richard Nixon is very much a self-made man in the six years prior to his emergence as a national figure. Between the moment he's elected to Congress in 1946 and the moment he's inaugurated as Vice President in 1953, he conducts nothing less than a kind of prodigy of American political self-advancement.

Against Quotes
I was at the courthouse to vote this morning. I parked in the far reaches of the parking lot I noticed a car sitting in the fire lane and blocking the disabled camp to go into the courthouse. As I got closer to the car the license plate on the car said County Judge. We must be vigilant to guard against the hubris of elected officials. This just reminded me why I am running in this race.
-
Aware Quotes
I was surprised at how vastly different these ideas were from my ideas. I became aware that school boards are thwarted by the guidelines we are given. If you just follow the books, you might be doing a good job in the eyes of the writer, but not in the eyes of the voters who elected you.

Advisory Quotes
I am honored to have been elected to the Advisory Commission of the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future. I am looking forward to sharing ideas and best practices with such an exceptional group of innovators in education and will continue working to improve public education.

Blues Quotes
I am truly honored that the Blues have elected to retire my number, and I'm flattered to join the list of players who have been recognized before me. I will always consider myself part of the Blues family and will look back on my playing days here with fond memories of my teammates, my coaches, the staff and, last but not least, the fans.

Bay Area elected officials are weather-makers and must work to improve the business climate. It's a win-all-around opportunity.

The future success of the Bay Area rests on resolving these challenges.

Asking Quotes
I have been loyal to our Republican leaders here in Florida and in our nation's capital - from Jeb Bush to President George Bush. ... And I have been loyal to the Republican Party and my constituents who elected me to work tirelessly for their best interest. Today I am asking you to return that same loyalty to me by helping fund my U.S. Senate campaign.

Area Quotes
I have made it a practice since before I was elected to come into the station on a daily or nightly basis and I always check on the prisoners in the cell area to make sure everything's okay. I have not been able to do that because the powers that be are trying to restrict me from doing that. When things like this happen I have a major problem with that,
