I have also had the same experience as Mike DeWine. I have lost a statewide election, and I know that is not pleasant. But I want Mike to know that I admire and respect the work he has done. His wife has been so thoughtful and kind to my…
Does this mean pulling all the troops out now? Of course it doesn't. But it does say we must start redeploying troops as soon as possible.
Harry Reid, for example, the new Senate majority leader, is talking about encouraging the president to personally convene a regional conference, including Syria, as well as Jordan and Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to talk about alternative…
It's been an excellent discussion. It's -- we talked about issues that are important to our country. Election is over. The only way to move forward is with bipartisanship ship and openness, and to get some results. And we have made a…
We have to have results in doing something to make health care more affordable and more available. We have to do something to create energy independence.
They have set a very bad example in not working with us. We're not following that example.
If the vote of last night from all over America didn't accomplish anything but this, it was a good night.
The American people have spoken clearly and decisively in favor of Democrats leading this country in -- in a new direction.
I bought a piece of land, sold it six years later. Everything was reported. It was all transparent.
I know I speak for both of us in expressing our appreciation to our Senate staff. It is 2:30 in the morning, and they have been here long, long hours. We get a lot of things done here, but it is not on our own. We have a wonderful staff…
The problem with the managers' amendment, all the amendments are Republicans' amendments. We don't have the numbers, but I think we have a few amendments that would strengthen the bill. We have discussed this publicly and privately and…
I support, as did the Senator from Colorado, tough border security. I voted, as did the Senator, for an amendment in the context of an immigration reform bill that would have authorized for Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff 370 miles of…
Like the do-nothing Congress of 1948, it's very difficult to get anything out of this Republican Congress.
The federal government must do something about that. We have laws, and they should be enforced.
What is going on in those communities is absolutely immoral, wrong, vile, and we must do something to stop it.
I can't imagine my little children being taken across state lines, being married when they're 13, 14, 15 years old, and then being in abusive situations.
I would further say just briefly that, yes, we do have this matter before us. Is it what we want? The answer is, probably we think we could do better. That is why we would agree on this side to have a limited number of amendments and have…
Last week, hundreds of family, friends, and admirers gathered in Houston, TX, to honor the life of a WWII veteran, legal giant, and true American hero, U.S. district judge James DeAnda. Judge DeAnda died last Thursday, September 7, 2006…
We are truly indebted to Judge DeAnda. Indeed, it is only fitting that as our Nation begins a month-long celebration of Hispanic contributions to America during Hispanic Heritage Month, we take this time to acknowledge Judge DeAnda. We are…
The reason I say that, if there is some anticipation that if things don't work out, we are going to go beyond next week, our folks should know that.
I am sorry to talk about my niece so much. Her name is Lari Dawn. She is named after my dad and my brother, Larry. We love Lari Dawn. But she is one of 3.3 million teachers who are forced to reach into their own pockets to provide supplies…
I received a call before the last recess from the chair of the Business Roundtable. This is a group composed of Democrats and Republicans but, frankly, more Republicans than Democrats, and they represent the American business community…
They are waiting, as you indicated. They need to prepare these forms. It costs money to do this. In my State--it is different than your State--we pay a very large sales tax. In your State you don't have a sales tax, you have an income tax.
