Democrats Quotes from:
-
Both Quotes
Wall Street's outsized influence in our nation's capital is something I've talked about for a long time - long before I even thought about running for office. But where I see a problem - an infestation, really - a lot of others in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans, seem to see government working just fine.
-
Age Quotes
When Republicans say, 'The first thing you do when you do deficit reduction is reduce rates,' it would be like Democrats saying, 'The first thing you do when you do deficit reduction is provide free Medicare at age 55.' We'd like to do that! But it won't bring the deficit down. That's for sure.
-
Districts Quotes
When Republicans represent moderate districts, they become less conservative just as Democrats representing conservative districts become less liberal. The least conservative Republican members Mike Fitzpatrick, Jim Gerlach and Curt Weldon all represent suburban Philadelphia districts, where the voters tend to be more moderate.
-
Almost Quotes
Virginia, being a red state, has seen moderate candidates like Mark Warner - like Harris Miller sort of appears to be, in the early stages - see some success. James Webb is almost carrying that trend even further - as a former Republican administration official, as a person with a strong military background. It's something that has worked for Democrats so far - but he has to figure out a way to convince Democratic voters that he can be the one who gets the job done.

Allow Quotes
Brothers and sisters, our democracy has been hi-jacked. Brothers and sisters, all of our total freedom in this country is over, so long as it is controlled by corporations. Brothers and sisters, we are not going to allow these streets to be taken over by the Democrats or the Republicans!
-
Behind Quotes
As the Republicans run to the crazy Tea Party right, they leave behind the huge mass of genuinely moderate and independent Americans that make up the majority of voters. The ones that used to consider themselves now-extinct moderate Republicans. They're up for grabs. And the Democrats have to grab them!
-
America Quotes
(A)s the opposition party, ... Democrats have a responsibility to hold the White House accountable for the painfully high price we've paid in Iraq, the thousands killed and wounded, and the billions of dollars spent. But they must do so in a way that makes it clear they are rooting for America to succeed in Iraq.
-
Attacking Quotes
Attacking those patriotic Americans who have raised serious questions about the case the Bush administration made to take our country to war does not provide us a plan for success that will bring our troops home. While the Bush administration continues to stonewall the Congress from finding the truth about the manipulation of pre-war intelligence, Democrats will continue to press for a full airing of the facts.
-
Across Quotes
The story is not a good one for the governor, ... There seems to be a common thread across all the proposition - if Arnold Schwarzenegger has endorsed it, Democrats and nonpartisans are reacting negatively and by turning off those two groups, it has made things very difficult for the governor.
-
Abroad Quotes
All Americans honor and support the brave sacrifices and tremendous efforts of our troops. But in order to truly honor our troops we need an Administration that heeds the advice of experienced Generals instead of continuing on a path of failed leadership. Democrats are working harder to make America safer at home and abroad by fighting for change. Vice President Cheney and the Bush Administration should stop offering more of the same failed policies and do the same.
-
Critics Quotes
You showed your credentials by being able to talk about all this detail, but a lot of people - including Democrats - got sucked into it. They learned the lingo, but they forgot it had no relation to reality. It was like critics of 'The Three Stooges' debating the right way to squirt seltzer up your nose. They forgot that the whole thing was a little silly.
-
Agenda Quotes
This is not a 'You-go-Hillary' show, this is a 'You-go-girl' show. I just want to see women in the process, whether they be Democrats or Republicans or independents. If there's any social agenda to the show, it's to be enthusiastic about the idea of a woman president - and an independent president.
-
Age Quotes
This could turn into a hunter vs. non-hunter issue (on both sides of the aisle), as some may feel that 8 years old is far too young, but it's really too early to predict. Previously, some Democrats proposed lowering it to 10, and some Republicans offered a proposal for no age limit, so perhaps age 8 is viewed as some type of compromise, I don't know.
-
Break Quotes
They took a page out of President Clinton's strategy -- legislative strategy -- which is to break things up into bite-size morsels -- that the public readily supports and understands, and get votes on it. And when its a 70 percent supported issue its hard for the Democrats to oppose it.
-
Based Quotes
A lot of us want to see 'Dean for America' evolve into something more, something that helps more Democrats win elections based on the message we created, ... The campaign has changed the party so much, and has really shown people what can be done if you inspire a movement of people. So a lot of us would like to see that organization continue. If it can't continue as a presidential campaign, we could still do some good for the party and for the country.
-
Medicines Quotes
The Republicans have shown us that they're corrupt. More importantly, lately, they've shown us how incompetent they've been, and how divided. We're not going to roll over for Texas oil companies. Democrats will make sure our seniors can get the medicines they need at a price they can afford...
-
Create Quotes
The Republicans are wrong in thinking that the rich create jobs. In reality, many of the richest Americans have been investing in efficiency innovations rather than to create jobs. And the Democrats are wrong, because growth won't happen if they distribute the wealth of the wealthy to everyone else.
-
Budget Quotes
The Republican budget was about increasing the deficit, cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans at the expense of the middle class and hurting those who need our help most -- hurricane survivors, seniors, students, and rural Americans. Democrats were united and made those issues too hot to handle for Republicans.
