John Kerry

We remember the pieces of evidence, like aluminum tubes and Niger yellowcake uranium, that were laid out before us, all designed, all purposefully used to shift the focus from al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, to Iraq and Saddam Hussein.

America's prestige around the world is a force multiplier, and that we wouldn't have 90 percent of the casualties and 90 percent of the costs if we had some allies in this deal.

Behind the scenes in all of these discussions and presentations is Dick Cheney, and it's time for the vice president to be accountable and to answer the questions that have arisen.

Now Paul Bremer is saying what a terrible mistake it was. The president needs to take accountability for his own judgments.

I was a big fan of Buckeye football.

How is Kerry going to bring more jobs to America? Is he going to bring back all the Heinz plants that are in Mexico back to America?

Let the states decide. That's the way it's been done since the beginning of this country and how it should be done today.

The right to choose is on the ballot because if this president is reelected and he appoints another member to the Supreme Court, that right undoubtedly will be lost.

The hard truth is that when it comes to stem cell research, this president is making the wrong choice to sacrifice science for extreme right-wing ideology.

It's time to lift the political barriers blocking the stem cell research.

53 percent of those interviewed thought they thought that Senator Kerry did the best job, while 37 percent picked the president.

He just said the enemy attacked us. Saddam Hussein didn't attack us, Osama bin Laden attacked us, al Qaeda attacked us.

My friends, this is the president who created a tax gap by providing a tax cut to the wealthiest Americans instead of investing in homeland security and the United States.

I have a plan to get us out of Iraq, I have a plan to win the thing. And if Bush won't even recognize that it's going in the wrong direction, so he can't have a plan to win, because he thinks things are going great already.

George Bush intends to make national security the key issue of this campaign. He has to. There's nothing else for him to run on.

I fought in a mistake called Vietnam. How are we going to have confidence that you're not going to vote in a war and peace issue for another mistake?

The governor tries to take credit for the jobs, 250,000. He sounds like the rooster who's trying to take credit for the sunrise.

He is a Massachusetts liberal, he's been voting against defense and intelligence all his life.

He has a very sophisticated concept that going after Saddam Hussein and getting rid of this tyrant was a setback in the war on terror.

Governor, that was for people who were earning more than $100,000, governor.

I tend to look at it from the point of view of a human being thinking about how we can make things work.

Tomorrow, we're live from Miami as President Bush and Senator Kerry square off in their first televised debate.

It has given us steady growth in this country, 10.5 million jobs, low interest rates, low inflation, low unemployment.

I know something about killing. I don't like killing. And I don't think a state honors life by turning around and sanctioning killing.

It's not worth more. It's not. It's not worth anything. It's scum that ought to be thrown into jail for the rest of its life and that ought to learn day after day the pain and hell of living with a loss of freedom and with the crime…
