In survey after survey, the Iraqi people say, 'We want to choose our leaders.'

The permanent campaign is inherently deceptive.

I think it reflects the reality on the ground, that this was an important milestone that's been achieved by the Iraqi people, and it's a significant development. It's a real hopeful moment for democracy in Iraq.

I'm done with my job. It was my job to be the advocate and spokesman for the President of the United States.

Churches are like announcement factories that pump toxic levels of noise pollution into the atmosphere.

We have to deal with reality. The reality is, we have a number a very high number of illegal immigrants in this country. They're meeting an important economic need. And we are a nation of laws, and we're a nation of immigrants. And if we're going to address the real threats, then we need to have a temporary worker program to allow our Border Patrol agents to focus on the criminals and the thugs and the terrorists and the traffickers and smugglers that are trying to come into this country illegally.

We are disappointed at the decision. The president remains fully committed to building a culture of life ... that is built on valuing life at all stages.
