Middle class Americans don't ask for special favors, they just want basic fairness, and a President who fights for that ideal.

Values are not just words, values are what we live by. They're about the causes that we champion and the people we fight for.

We do not need more division. We certainly do not need something as complex and emotional as Vietnam reduced to simple campaign rhetoric.

When President Bush sees America, he sees only a military superpower. I see a moral and idealistic beacon. Mr. Bush may talk about democracy all he wants, but it is not democracy to wilfully disdain and heap scorn on world opinion. We do not command moral leadership by starting pre-emptive wars.

We must uphold the promise of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton and never allow the President and his Republican friends to threaten Social Security by putting it on the Wall Street trading block.

These guys [Republicans] are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen.

George Bush sold us on going to war with Iraq based on the threat of weapons of mass destruction. But we still haven't found them.
