I hate Republicans and everything they stand for.

Not one Republican president has balanced the budget in 34 years. You can not trust Republicans with your money.

For three decades, Democrats and Republicans worked together to make our environment better.

In light of these facts Republicans have put forth a variety of proposals to make Social Security remain solvent for future generations. But up to this point, Democrats have chosen to oppose our good faith efforts and insist that indeed there is no problem.

If we do nothing, as the Republicans suggest, we're going to see health care costs reach a point where small businesses can't afford it and families can't afford it. We're going to see people turned down from pre-existing conditions. We're going to find the Medicare doughnut hole - a gap in coverage that's going to hurt a lot of seniors.

There are fewer and fewer Republicans.

A lot of Republicans are white Christians, but the Republican Party is reaching out to Hispanics, and reaching out to blacks, and reaching out to Asians.

I believe in most of the things Republicans stand for.

If we don't like what the Republicans do, we need to get in there and change it.

Now, so, if you want to blame someone for wasteful spending, the Republicans are in the majority.

Unfair trade agreements, passed by both Republicans and Democrats, have sent millions of jobs to other countries. We need to stop this hemorrhaging and find ways for American workers to compete in the new market.

Republicans believe largely in the market working, Democrats believe stereotypically that you've got to give people something. So why not give people a chance to let the market work for them.

I expect the Republicans will enjoy a large bounce out of their convention. They're here wrapping themselves in the 9/11 flag, which I think is inappropriate in many ways, but it's their choice.

Republicans are pushing legislation forward that will improve the effectiveness of and bring more accountability to U.S. foreign assistance around the world and bring democracy even further into the light.

What's troubling is that the Republicans to defend Mr. DeLay are weakening the ethics process.

Now, most of the time I'm going to agree with the Democrats and disagree with the Republicans.

But on those occasions when I do strongly disagree with the Democrats and I don't say anything, I think I forfeit my right to have people pay attention to me when I say the things that I don't like about what Republicans are saying.

The Democrats and Republicans are the same guy admiring themself in the mirror.

A Democrat has to show the toughness to govern. People don't doubt that Republicans will be tough.

I've always believed in challenging Republicans where they think they are strongest.
