Political Quotes

But every morning when I go running, I have my little radio and I listen to public radio. I don't run as far and as fast as I used to. So I probably listen to the radio more. It takes me longer to get from one place to another. But that is one of the good things. This morning, they had a wonderful program about what the Senator just talked about. Senate Democrats are making progress. They talked about a poll by a Republican pollster and a Democratic pollster. They joined together in this poll. They came up with an interesting fact-- that what we are trying with our messages through our task forces and other ways to communicate to the American public is really reverberating through the American public. By almost 10 percentage points, the American people like what we are doing more than what the Republicans are doing. Tax cuts are not the name of the game.

The Presiding Officer is leading that task force. Dealing with medical care, prescription drugs, and making things affordable for people who go to the doctor are what people care about. That is what we have been talking about. We fought those tax cuts.”
