Derek Walker Quotations

He's a rubber stamp for the national Republican agenda. That's going to be the fundamental choice in this campaign: a person who's going to align themselves with President Bush or a man or woman who's going to represent Marylanders.

Michael Steele has to choose between two diametric opposites: President Bush and the best interests of the people of Maryland.

He's spending like a drunken sailor, and he's now taking what are essentially routine staff-issued documents and claiming they're legislative proposals on the table. It's another hypocritical attempt to distort his own record and make Marylanders forget about his awful record. Voters are smarter than that.

This is the first Steele-for-Senate campaign ad, as far as I'm concerned. It's clear that the exploratory committee is designed to find new and innovative ways to waste taxpayer money to promote the lieutenant governor.

It's hard to legislate, because public officials do have a legitimate role in bringing important issues to the community. This really involves personal judgment. In this case, it's a hollow attempt to improve Steele's image.

I'm not going to put my family through that again just to go back.

They've gutted all the programs to save the bay.
