Supporters Quotations

The toughest thing to do in politics is to do the right thing when your supporters think the right thing is something else.

No money in this world could convince me to play for Liverpool. That's not a lack of respect for Liverpool supporters or the football club. It's respect for the Everton supporters. You just can't do that. It goes against everything that I stand for. No chance.

Effort should be made to see that the forum-type programs (the 'Today Show,' 'Meet the Press,' etc.) afford at least as much opportunity for supporters of the American system to participate as these programs do for those who attack it.

What would be the nicest thing I could say about Newt Gingrich? He may be one of the great supporters of the humanities, because you have people who don't want to study the social sciences, because it's not profitable, and now Newt, as the highest-paid historian in American history, may be an encouragement to people to study history.

There is no right to a job or a wage rate, but there is a right to move from one country to another in search of a better life. This is the point of view of Thomas Jefferson, John Locke and other great supporters of the natural rights tradition in America.

I'm very confident that not only will the other candidates who ran for this office support me but all of their supporters will as well. So yes, I'm very confident that I will get their support.

Good supporters who have single daughters say, 'Hey, you need to take my daughter out.' And it's awkward.

We are all frustrated with some aspects of our forward play but we've just got to be patient and keep working at it because we have personnel of a high enough quality to turn it around. The supporters are frustrated, we are ourselves and we know we owe them because they follow us all round the country. The rugby they've seen at Kingston Park this season, apart from half an hour against Bath, has been extremely poor and hopefully, with a clean slate and a new competition on Sunday, we can go some way to repaying them.

We have qualified for the final which means we have done a good job. When you have your supporters behind you, you run a little bit more.

We have appointed Kevin Ball caretaker manager until the end of the season and hope that supporters will give him their full backing. Sunderland supporters have been incredibly tolerant and supportive in the last few months, which have been very difficult. I would also like to thank them for that.

What I am hoping for is votes from intelligent and democratic PRD supporters who want change,

Mr. Romney is quick to uphold rules great and small. During primary debates, when his rivals spoke out of turn or exceeded their allotted time, he would sometimes lecture them. When supporters ask Mr. Romney to sign dollar bills or American flags, he refuses and often gives them a little lesson about why doing so is against the law.

Mountain Dew and Pepsi have been longtime supporters of our sport. We're excited to welcome Mountain Dew to the team and look forward to this extension of our wonderful relationship with Pepsi-Cola.

No political party, and certainly no responsible political leadership, deserves to serve in a government unless it cooperates and supports fully and unconditionally the police, and calls on its supporters to do so.

Now, there's been a persistent legend and a lot of slogans, and the formation of societies for the fostering of Franco-American friendship, which have had some effect, but there is a strong admiration in this country for the culture of France, and generally speaking I think the French find the Americans have been stout supporters of them in many of their periods of distress.

Richard Simmons is a great addition to Sirius' all-star lineup. He has a tremendous fan base throughout the United States and this will allow him to have intimate and personal conversations with his supporters on a weekly basis, as if each and everyone of them were in his studio in Beverly Hills. Richard's quick wit, passion and enthusiasm will make truly entertaining and enlightening radio.

I am convinced that, internally, Gerhard Schroeder already has stepped back somewhat and is only asking himself how he can sell that to his party and the supporters who trust him.

I am fascist, not racist. I do the Roman (fascist) salute to greet our supporters and those who share my ideas. This gesture is in no way an incitement to violence and even less about racial hatred.

I am humbled and sincerely grateful to friends and supporters who have stepped forward to support our candidacy for Governor,

I believe this offer to be in the best interests of Hearts, its shareholders, staff and supporters and urge shareholders to accept it,

I am saddened at the way things have worked out. I wish the club, the players and the supporters good fortune and success going forward.

I am sure that my supporters will understand me.

Certainly she hasn't announced yet, and she's probably not decided yet, either. The immediate task for her supporters here is to win re-election. That's what everyone is focused on.

Certainly, anti-Syrian forces in Lebanon feel on the defensive, nervous, frightened, depressed. The Syrians may be out in one way, but in others they're always right around the corner and have sufficient friends and supporters in Lebanon that make it unlikely it will turn into a seriously anti-Syrian place.

But a lot of it has to do with the money. When the small group trying to close the school had supporters in JFAQ (Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee), it seemed like the money never really came in. It seemed like it all went to Boise.

I love all my friends and supporters at Columbia. I will miss them as I start this new relationship. Charlie Walk was my first hero at Columbia. He believed in me before I really even got to meet the rest of the company. I couldn't think of anyone I would trust more than Charlie to present my new music to the world. Epic is in a new place with a new leader. It just seems the right place for me as I begin my new journey.

Given the response to our scholarship program in the past two years, and with the recent cuts to student loan programs by Congress, it is clear that there is a huge need for these resources.

If supporters of RU-486 believe the FDA followed the law in approving RU-486 for abortion, they should have nothing to fear from the proposed review. But if the FDA bent the rules to expedite approval of RU-486, the agency clearly valued the 'health' of the abortion industry over women's health and should be brought to account.

He has been a loyal servant of this football club over a long period of time and played a key role in one of our most successful eras. On behalf of our staff, players, members and supporters I would like to thank him for all he has given this club. He is a life member and as such knows full well he is always welcome around the club.

He has by far the most diverse group of supporters of almost any City Council or King County Council elected official that I can think of.

Harry's 17 years with the organization were marked by outstanding team achievements, including the team's first-ever pennant and World Series appearance, and he will be remembered as one of the organization's legends, ...

There are so many more resources in Harrisburg. I have a boatload of supporters there.

Kevin has done a tremendous job here and now it's a matter of trying to work together and move the team forward. We want to give the supporters something to look forward to and get them in the Football League.

Joe is one of the president's staunchest supporters and good friends. The president is going to miss him a great deal. We're all on the staff level going to miss Joe a great deal. He's a great guy -- a real kind man, a gentle giant.

Our overwhelming problem is our representatives are voting according to how the moneybag supporters want them to vote.

That attitude expressed by Ford's supporters is exactly the rationale that led us to support the strongest candidate.

The actions of the South Dakota legislature are a chilling reminder of the lengths to which anti-choice lawmakers will go to interfere in our most difficult and personal decisions. This bill contains an inadequate exception to protect a woman's life and no other exceptions -- not for rape, not for incest, not even to protect the woman's health. Clearly emboldened by President Bush's judicial appointments, South Dakota has passed dangerous and unconstitutional legislation that its supporters admit is a direct attack on Roe v. Wade. Rather than continuing these unconstitutional assaults that threaten to endanger women's lives and imprison doctors, these legislators should commit to enacting commonsense legislation to prevent unintended pregnancy.

That was for the supporters and I'm absolutely delighted because I know exactly what this win means to them.
