John Kerry actually said...

"I am an outspoken supporter of ways to increase access to foreign markets for our exporters."

"It would help a lot to provide certainty if we could get a little less ideological rigidity, and get an agreement on the budget fast."

"You can't do what we have to do for the country without revenue. Plain and simple."

"I want to ask you, will you commit to coming up to our state, spend a day, half a day, whatever you can with us, to meet with our fishermen."
