Now, today I will offer an amendment to the Defense authorization bill concerning U.S. policy in Iraq. As I said, I am joined by a bipartisan group of colleagues, including Senators Brownback, Boxer, Specter, Kerry, and, I believe, Senator…
I don't question the integrity of a single person on this stage, but what's the record of being able to get folks in those red states to vote for this stuff?
If I do not finish in the top three dems, I'll probably call in sick for the rest of the election.
We must end this war in a way that doesn't require us to send their grandchild back.
Today I voted in favor of tabling the Alexander-Collins amendment on the REAL ID Act, Senate Amendment 2405, because I wanted to prevent reducing by almost 1 percent critical Federal spending on port and rail security, first responders'…
I don't like a damn thing about him. I -- no, I'm only kidding. Only kidding.
First of all, change the tax structure. We are giving people tax breaks who don't need it. The top 1 percent got an $85 billion a year tax break. It is not needed. My dad used to have an expression -- don't tell me what you value, show me…
I'm the guy that originally wrote the assault weapons ban that became law.
Religion informs my values. My reason dictates outcomes. My religion taught me about abuse of power. That's why I moved to write the Violence Against Women Act. That's why I take the position I take on Darfur.
It was a mistake. I remember talking with Paul Wellstone at the time. And quite frankly, the reason I voted for it, against my better instinct, is I have great faith in Ted Kennedy, who is so devoted to education.

At the risk of hurting his reputation -- and it will hurt him -- but I would pick Chuck Hagel, and I would consider asking Dick Lugar to be secretary of state.
The truth of the matter is: If we started today, it would take one year, one year to get 160,000 troops physically out of Iraq, logistically. You cannot pull out of Iraq without the follow-on that's been projected here, unless you have a…
My dad used to have an expression -- don't tell me what you value; show me your budget. And the budget we have here is we all dance around it. We need more revenue to be able to pay for the things the governor and everybody else talks…
Tomorrow, it's a special Fourth of July edition of the most news in the morning. We'll be visiting the troops on the front lines and catch up with the candidates for president as they campaign on the holiday. We'll talk with Senator Joe…
I got tested for AIDS. I know Barack got tested for AIDS. There's no shame in being tested for AIDS. It's an important thing.
They have turned the court upside down. And the next president of the United States will be able to determine whether or not we go forward or continue this slide. It's the single most imperative generational decision the next president…
Ladies and gentlemen, you're going to end this war when you elect a Democratic president.
By the time all these guys talk, 50,000 more people are going to be dead. They're going to be dead. And I tell you, I guarantee you, we have the capacity, by setting up a no-fly zone, to shut down the janjaweed.
Let me tell you something: Nobody asked anybody else whether they're gay in those holes, those foxholes, number one.
