Cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits are unacceptable, and they shouldn’t be put on the table by Democrats for any reason...

I'm proud to be a Democrat.

We need to get rid of the Federal Elections Commission. It's a joke. It doesn't enforce the law.

If a senator or congressman notices 25 phone calls, on any issue, on any given day, it is noted.

Most of my town hall meetings had always been love fests, and some of my guys used to complain: 'I'd like for somebody to yell at you a bit.

The climate is obviously changing dramatically.

Health care is still the number-one issue out there. Someone who seizes it, I think, will do very well in an election. Let's face it: Clinton's two big issues were the middle class tax cut, which he dropped, wisely, at the time to help reduce the deficit, and health care. That's what he ran on.
