At every turn when there has been an imbalance of power, the truth questioned, or our beliefs and values distorted, the change required to restore our nation has always come from the bottom up from our people.

What I want to know is why in the world the Democratic party leadership is supporting the president's unilateral attack on Iraq?

Real Democrats don't make promises they can't keep.

If money is a form of speech, as the Supreme Court has regrettably found, rich donors will always be the loudest speakers.

The fact that the president was willing to reveal classified information for political gain and put the interests of his political party ahead of America's security shows that he can no longer be trusted to keep America safe.

I wish that there was a unified Democratic position on the war in Iraq. I was that there was a unified American position and everybody agreed with me that we ought to be out of there yesterday. But they don't, and that's the fact. I mean, he's stating a fact about what's going on.

I was hoping to get a reception like this, I'd just hoped that it would be on Thursday night instead of Tuesday night.
