John Kerry

The dynamics of the election could actually, without the proper actions, provide a greater capacity for civil war.

The current policy is growing the insurgency, not diminishing it.

I wish that I could just wrap you up in my arms and embrace each and every one of you individually, all across this nation. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Now we have this incredible mess in Iraq.

Change is coming to America!

We are required now to work together for the good of our country.

I'm a Catholic, raised a Catholic, I was an altar boy. Religion has been a huge part of my life.

I would not give up this fight if there was a chance that we would prevail, but it is now clear that even when all the provisional ballots are counted, which they will be, there won't be enough outstanding votes for us to be able to win…

I think it's a good tradition to follow. I think the country should stay with tradition, don't you?

I need you in these hours to go out and do the hard work, knock on those doors, make those phone calls, talk to friends, take people to the polls. Help us change the direction of this great nation for the better.

If you believe, as I do, that America's best days are ahead of us, then join me tomorrow and change the direction of America.

No mas Bush! We're going to win. We're going to win for America.

As Americans, we are absolutely united in our determination to hunt down and destroy Osama bin Laden and the terrorists. They are barbarians. And I will stop at absolutely nothing to hunt down, capture, or kill the terrorists wherever they…

... people who are in the middle class struggling to get ahead, people who play by the rules, pay their taxes, get up in the morning, go to work, try to find work.

If they won't tell the truth in an ad, they won't tell the truth about anything else. This doctored commercial is fundamentally dishonest and insults the intelligence of the American people.

And now, George Bush's shifting explanations, an effort to blame everybody except themselves, is evidence that he believes the buck stops anywhere but with the president.

People who are in the middle class struggling to get ahead, people who play by the rules, pay their taxes, get up in the morning, go to work, try to find work.

If we re-elect Bush he's not only Iraq going to continue to go badly, bit that we will go into Iran and we may go into North Korea.

You know, President Bush says he's got a plan to fix the economy. Carole King wrote a song that sums up my feelings about that, 'It's Too Late, Baby.'

Mr. President, for the sake of our brave men and women in uniform, for the sake of those troops who are in danger, because of your wrong decisions, you owe America real answers about what happened, not just political attacks.

Vice President Cheney, who is becoming the chief minister of disinformation, he echoed that it's not the administration's fault, and he even criticized those who raised the subject.

Kerry hammers the president on the missing weapons, while Bush asks for help from an unlikely source, Democrats.

I think when he was -- when George Bush was on the couch thinking in Texas, this guy was working on terrorism in the BCCI scandal, for example.

We will fight tooth and nail to make sure that this time, every vote is counted, and every vote counts.

Time and again, this president has made the wrong decisions. Time and again, he has chosen the wrong path.
