Joseph Lieberman actually said...

"I cannot think of a more consequential vote that each of you will cast in Congress for the future security of the United States and, indeed, the security of the world."

"we cannot allow this to be the case anymore."

"To get anything done, you really do have to go through the process that we are describing."

"The successful problem solving process does not begin with compromise, but it will not end successfully unless people around the table are willing to compromise."
