Richard Gephardt

God bless everybody.

I thank you, and I honor you for letting me be here today, and I am sorry that I was not here the other night.

We need a leader who can defeat George Bush in November.

Richard Gephardt is about to throw his support to John Kerry.

Well, we are getting late word tonight that congressman and former presidential candidate, Richard Gephart, is about to throw his support to John Kerry.

The polls, I feel for a long time, have simply been indicating that this is a tight race. I have felt it was going to be a tight race as long as six months ago. But I feel in the end I'm going to win this race in Iowa.

My plan is the only one that helps everybody.

Now we find out he thinks there is an upside to the terrorists running the Palestinian Authority. And we thought George W. Bush was unprepared to be president of the United States.

To me, there is no room for the cynical politics of manufactured anger and false conviction.

Who is he talking about? Is he saying labor unions or special interests or the senior citizens or the farmers? I don't think so. So I just -- I think these are not accurate comments. I don't understand them.

The group behind these ads isn't backing down. One official saying the latest ad was intended to highlight national security experience and 'that is what it does.'

He can't even find Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein. They've vanished.

If we're going to beat George Bush, we have got to take a position of leadership on these issues and stick with them. We can't be all over the lot.

Howard, I think you are all over the lot on this issue. First of all, at the time the resolutions were on the floor, you said you favored the Biden-Lugar resolution, which in effect was the same thing that we passed on the floor. It was…

It is regrettable that today the Republican leadership ignored an opportunity to resolve the issue of late-term abortion in an effective and constitutional way, moving forward yet again with a ban that does not include an exception to…

I would agree that I think Members, more than anything, want certainty at this point so they can make their plans. Obviously also Members will want to be able to see this bill prior to voting on it. I would hope that there would be time…

I am often asked if we can do anything here this year in a bipartisan way to solve the obvious problems that our country faces. This is an issue on which the Senate has taken a definitive position 57 to 42. Senator McCain said yesterday…

I would hope that we would welcome the new Chaplain that has been appointed by the Speaker and try our level best to make his service in this Congress as positive as it possibly can be. I am very sorry that we have come to this point. I…

I have been a Cardinal fan my entire life... I most want to be for this resolution today because of that and because of what that means to Americans and what that means to all of our people.

I would simply say this one thing. There are a lot of reasons attributed to political victories in congressional seats, but in my view this victory is due to the character, the integrity, and the wonderful citizenship of a woman named Lois…

It is almost a month to the day that we stood here and debated whether or not to release the materials that Ken Starr had sent to the Congress, and I tried to say at that time that this was a time of utmost importance, to us as a House of…

I am for free trade, as is the gentleman from Michigan. We believe trade is synergistic, we think it has energy for everyone, we think it helps every country that can engage in free trade, and we are for free trade treaties between the…

I simply wanted to add my voice to the gentleman from New York in saying that we will miss Keith Jewell as the House photographer very much. I know that all of us have had experience in his work. He has served this House and its membership…
