John Kerry

I have chosen a man who understands and defends the values of America, a man who has shown courage and conviction as a champion for middle-class Americans, and for those struggling to reach the middle class.

I'll just tell you, I've not made a decision at this point in time, and I'm going to keep it a personal and private process until I announce it publicly.

More than a million Americans who were working three years ago have lost their jobs. And the new jobs that are finally being created are paying, on average, $9,000 less than the jobs that we're losing.

This is troubling news, and an unusual step to take.

I'm not a spokesman for the church and the church is not a spokesman for the United States of America.

That is if you did the full funding. This is a compromise that has been worked out which is a lesser amount of money, recognizing the significant amounts that are available. Be that as it may, we are talking over 10 years. The last tax cut…

I will continue to do what I am doing because I believe we can do better by veterans in this country. I will continue to take that issue to the country over these next days. We have an opportunity to make a choice today. If we don't, then…

I think he's going to try to. But you're right. Kerry has really been hitting this point recently and it's become sort of the crux of his foreign policy argument against Bush.

I believe that over the course of these last few years, the leader of the free world, the United States of America, has lost respect and influence, alliances are broken, and people are questioning both our values and our ideals. I intend…

There are still too many people who can't afford health care, can't afford to go to college. There are too many people struggling, while at the top end people get ahead.

But guess what? There's still 1.9 million net jobs lost over the course of this presidency.

You know, I saw that there are 240,000 jobs created last month. That's terrific.

I think that many more people are responsible for the mess that the Bush administration has gotten us into.

If elected, he'll name someone to coordinate a national strategy to prevent such an attack.

Nuclear terrorism is the gravest threat the United States faces.

We must let America be America again.
