Believe Quotes
In the last four years, the Republican Party has turned record budget surpluses into the largest budget deficits in American history, deficits as far as the eye can see, ... Democrats believe that it's not only irresponsible -- but it is immoral as well -- to force our children and grandchildren to pay our bills by incurring this debt.

Believe Quotes
I'll stand up for what I believe in whether it's popular or not, and I think that is lacking in this country. What you're seeing now, not only on the part of President Bush but on the part of the Democrats as well, is they'll promise you a tax cut and health insurance and lower college tuition and fully funded special education. Look, you can't do that. You couldn't do that in your house. You can't spend money on stuff you don't have.

Democratic Quotes
He's really going back to his Democratic roots - which is very significant, because it shows where the Republican Party is and where it has moved. And maybe where tens of millions of Reagan Democrats are at. If James Webb is representative to any extent of these Reagan Democrats, which I think he is, I think this can be very significant for the Democratic Party.

America Quotes
Chairman Dean's outrageous comparison today between the United States and Iran is reckless and wrong. By equating the United States of America to an oppressive regime that promotes anti-Semitism, suppresses women and restricts free speech, Howard Dean continues to lower the bar for political discourse in this country. The question for Democrats is, do they stand beside their party chairman and his latest wild-eyed attack?

Activists Quotes
Governor Gregoire demonstrates the difference that Democratic leadership often makes when it comes to equality for our families. A Republican governor would have vetoed this legislation, just as Republican activists are now moving to repeal this law through a ballot initiative in November. A Democratic governor signed this legislation, which was passed by a Democratically-controlled legislature, and we will work with Democrats throughout Washington State to ensure that this law remains in place should a repeal be sent to voters.

Among Quotes
A just-released study conducted by my Center for the Study of Popular Culture, and based on primary voter registration lists, shows that among 32 elite colleges and universities including the entire Ivy League, registered faculty Democrats outnumbered Republicans 10-1. At schools like Brown, Wellesley and Wesleyan the figure exceeded 25-1.

Accept Quotes
Among Republicans, there is universal outrage that Gore and the Democrats won't accept the results of the election and are manipulating the system for their partisan reasons, ... which should make a lot of people concerned that they are so obsessed with having power they will do anything to achieve it.
-
Against Quotes
And I do think the whole issue of having a positive agenda is somewhat over-rated in politics. A lot of politics is in reaction to how bad the person you're running against is. But Democrats do believe that by the middle of next year they've got to come up with a few bumper sticker points that they can run on and they probably will.
-
Attorney Quotes
The last governor's race shows that Virginia is not as red a state as many in the South. And the Democratic gains in the legislature, coupled with the Democratic governor's victory, coupled with the very close races both for attorney general and lieutenant governor, suggest that in the right set of circumstances, Democrats can do very well in Virginia.

Beyond Quotes
I can only see Republican complaints as an effort to bully Senate Democrats into rubber stamping their right-wing judicial nominees. Republicans don't understand that the issues at stake go far beyond partisan games. This debate is about lifetime appointment to the courts that decide cases that shape the lives of all American people.
