I've always believed that you can only bring about real change when people come together across party lines.

We have to come together -- not as Republicans and Democrats -- but as Americans to turn the page in Iraq.

I believe that Senators of both parties will find that Harriet Miers's talent, experience, and judicial philosophy make her a superb choice.

I urge members of both political parties to study the legislation, to remember the promise we have made to America's seniors, and to vote yes for this legislation.

There was no Republican or Democratic way to pick up the garbage.

Congress should come together to pass this long overdue legislation.

I'm going to work with Democrats and Republicans to reform the system.

This should not be a Republican or a Democratic partisan issue. It should be an American issue.

I am confident that if we can keep working together in good faith, we can reach agreement on a strong, commonsense bill that I can sign into law.

We have worked with all parties to encourage the resolution of their differences through dialog and negotiations.

There's no partisan difference on this in the business community.

That depends on how—the attitude of Congress, I think that— in both parties.

We could no longer participate in a kind of unspoken deal with the Republicans.

Believe it or not, almost everybody agrees on it, Republicans and Democrats alike.

I believe that most Members of Congress in both parties agree that the gun show loophole, if closed, would keep more guns out of the hands of criminals.

Washington works best when it works as Governors and as the National Governors' Association work: across party lines; focusing on ideas, not ideology; on people, not politics; on unity, not division.

I thank the Members of the American Congress of both parties whose presence here with me today is evidence of America's commitment to the common future we will make together.

I appreciate the bipartisan spirit that prevailed in getting that done.
