Nancy Pelosi

I look forward to working in a confidence-building way with the president, recognizing that we have our differences, and we will debate them. And that is what our founders intended. But we will do so in a way that gets results for the…

We have our differences. And we will debate them. And that what is our founders intended. But we will do so in a way that gets results for the American people.

We've made history. Now we have to make progress.

The more the president campaigned on the war, the fewer votes the Republicans who supported that got. And that took its toll on the Republicans.

It will give a fresh start to finding a solution to Iraq rather than staying the course.

Nowhere was the call for a new direction more clear from the American people than in the war in Iraq.

Yesterday, the beauty and the genius of our democracy and the American people spoke with their votes. And they spoke for change, and they spoke in support of new direction for all Americans. Supporting a great array of magnificent…

Tonight is a great victory for the American people.

Democrats are not about getting even.

It is long overdue for this administration, the Bush administration, to speak truth to the American people on what's happening in Iraq and how it affects our safety.

I thank you again for your leadership in the fight to preserve Social Security, to stop the privatization, to stop the raid on the trust fund, and to stop the reduction in benefits. Without the participation of the 30-somethings, we would…

Hugo Chavez fancies himself a modern day Semon Baldivar, but all he is is an everyday thug.

Not only will we not be swift voted on the issue of national security, we're going to take the fight to the Republicans. The war in Iraq has weakened our military. It has weakened our readiness.

Let's hope that -- that saner minds will prevail, and they will see the light, that, as families across the country watch on TV, and with great anxiety, the fate of their family members in Lebanon, that they know that this is not just…

This resolution is one thing and one thing only: It is an affirmation of President Bush's failed Iraq policy.

What we did not hear was a new direction for Iraq, and I believe that we need a new direction.

As of now as we're going at our positive agenda.

However, this is not a show of support for Jefferson. Pelosi has demanded he step down from the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.

If Democrats regain the House, they would launch investigations into energy prices and the war.

When people started hearing about investigating the president, I mean, does that just fire up the Democrats or does that play into the Republicans' hands?

The republicans offer an agenda that favors big oil and the wealthy few. It's time for a new direction.

When the oil men, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, strode into town, the showdown began between big oil and the consumer. With the price of gas doubling during the time of the president's presidency, big oil won.

Record prices for the American people, record giveaways, record profits for big oil companies.

Mr. DeLay's departure from Congress is just one piece of the change that is necessary to end the culture of corruption of this Republican Congress.

It would be hard to see any set of facts that would justify striking a police officer.
