You have to be held accountable for what you did.

It's very distasteful what has happened in Washington, but only one of us in this race has been in Washington, has been a part of that. I've been right here in Tennessee.

88 percent of the time he votes like Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton.

He'll pick up Bill Frist's (UNINTELLIGIBLE), he'll carry it over there and set it down between Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

But we have just got to stand behind them and give those military operations the time needed to succeed.

I assure you, in a -- in a -- in two or three months, if this thing hasn't come to fruition, and if this level of violence is not under control and this government able to function, I think it's the responsibility of our government…

You have to be curious. You have to ask all the questions you can think of.

And I'm certain that, if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified report entitled 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States,' he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests it was…

You know, and I'm certain that if my husband and his national security team had been shown a classified report entitled, 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States,' he would have taken it more seriously than history suggests…

Republicans are more at risk of losing our critical Senate Majority than ever before.

It's clear we have to have the moral high ground and we cannot violate the Geneva Conventions.
