Anyone Quotes
For the record, it is certainly the case that there needs to be prize consideration for gambling, ... Clearly, if it is legal in the state and there is no prize offered, I can't see why anyone would consider it gambling. We are not attempting to make illegal by this legislation fantasy sports that would be legal in states. I'm pleased that the previous opposition has been removed.

Best Quotes
Given the sort and level of opposition from the neighbors as to the number of occupants and seasonal workers we would like to be able to house in the building, we have concluded that it might not be in our best interests to pursue this. As the proposal now stands, we would gain only 10 extra beds, and that might not be worth $7-8 million.
-
Act Quotes
I would say it is not only an act of statesmanship but an act of faith. Both our countries were departing from something which has been well ingrained in the mind-sets of most of our people. We knew there was going to be significant opposition to change. Change is always viewed with suspicion and often viewed as subversive.

Available Quotes
I think we have some capable batters. I think the youngsters are looking to put their stakes on the table, in terms of getting themselves permanent into the Jamaica team and looking to make themselves available for West Indies' selection. And having said that we have Marlon Samuels, who is a senior campaigner, and we are looking to make sure that we lead from the front and put our (big) totals on the board more often than not, and try and restrict the opposition as quickly as possible and execute efficiently.
-
Chancellor Quotes
I think that one of the things that is often overlooked about the relationship between the prime minister and the chancellor is that these two men worked together every single day when we were in opposition and I can remember being in Gordon's office a lot when I was Treasury whip and they would be constantly on the phone to each other talking all the time,

Birth Quotes
I think this marks a clear turning point that will mean the separation of the old opposition and the birth of a new generation of leadership. No one can say that we emerged as winners, but the government didn't win either. The low turnout sent a message that the people don't have confidence in the country's institutions and its leadership.

Describe Quotes
I will go to the next election saying to Australians, vote for me, vote for the Liberal Party, and I will become your PM. So I'm offering myself as the alternative PM - that's one way people describe the Leader of the Opposition - but I'm not in politics for myself to realize a personal ambition.

Ability Quotes
I think there needs to be an opportunity for a governor to run for a second term. Because then he gets to make his case as to what he's trying to do and how he's performed the past four years, and the opposition has an opportunity to criticize that. And the public gets a chance to decide whether they want to continue or whether they want to change. Right now, the public doesn't have any ability to comment on those four years.

Add Quotes
Our philosophy is to score in the first inning and then hold our opponents for zero in the first inning and we've done that. We did that a couple of (games) ago and came out on the short end so I really want us to get up early in the game. That puts the pressure on the opposition and we've done that, but we didn't add on like I was hoping we would.

Accept Quotes
Remember, it is the violation of the law, of the letter of the Con-stitution, which precipitated all ofthese. Instead of blaming the opposition or any other group, they should first look at themselves in the mirror because all of these came from their own action or inaction while in office. Should it happen this time around, simply because that is what the people want, I expect her to be the very first one to understand, accept and embrace it,because she knows how it works. She used it once upon a time. And she should accept it even if its there, staring her at the face.

Arab Quotes
Some of these forces have gained strength because of a lack of other alternatives. For decades the Middle East has been a political desert. . . . In much of the Muslim world Islam became the language of political opposition because it was the only language that could not be censored. This pattern, of dictators using religious groups to destroy the secular opposition, has played out in virtually every Arab country.
-
Attitude Quotes
Somehow, the greater the public opposition to the health care bill, the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway. Their attitude shows Washington at its very worst - the presumption that they know best, and they're going to get their way whether the American people like it or not.
-
Directly Quotes
My opposition is simply a matter of who reports to whom. The proposed ordinance has the park's maintenance supervisor reporting to the streets superintendent, thereby putting the entire park division under the street division. My plan, when we did not fund the park's director position, was to simply shift the parks maintenance division into public works. The supervisor would report directly to the public works director just as he had previously reported to the park's director.

Act Quotes
I think she needs to say I don't have to act like a man to be a good leader, ... She needs to act like a woman and be against the war. I think it's really important for the Democrats to be an opposition party and she is the leader, in a way. She has a lot of power and she's been more of a hawk than most Republicans.
-
Among Quotes
The American people could not be clearer about their opposition to the continued exclusion of lesbian and gay Americans from our armed forces. Support for repealing the military's ban has grown by fifteen percent in the South, eight percent among moderate Republicans and nine percent among Catholics. In virtually every community, constituents are sending a clear message to their elected leaders that the time has come to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.' Our nation supports treating everyone who sacrifices for our national defense, whether gay or straight, with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Air Quotes
The 1998 missile strike on the Sudan was an unannounced, unprovoked attack that destroyed that Third World nation's only medicine factory. Yet it provoked no opposition outcry on the left. The Clinton air strike violated every principle of the current liberal critique of Bush foreign policy.
-
Advantage Quotes
We executed our game plan almost to perfection. It was a nice win for us. But most importantly, we played with intensity for a full game. In recent contests, we've had patches where we lost focus and the opposition took advantage of it. Tonight, we didn't have any lapses in intensity.
-
Close Quotes
We have the potential to develop into a really good side and have managed to put ourselves into contention for most of the time. However, we must learn to be far more decisive and to close the door on the opposition when we have the initiative. The Hong Kong Sevens is a massive stage for any Sevens player and our guys will be highly motivated to make an impact.
-
Balls Quotes
We didn't really play doubles the way we know how. We were out there just hitting balls at certain points, not really trying to utilize our strategy. We need to learn to stick with what is working in a match until the opposition proves that those methods aren't working. That's something we really need to get after in practice.

Agenda Quotes
We're not running scared at all. What you're going to see over the next days and weeks is an agenda that's in the House--opposition parties can decide whether they want to support the agenda or not. This government will be putting things into the House to demonstrate that we're governing and ultimately the opposition parties will, I hope, participate in that and look to deliver things on behalf of Canadians.
