You notice what CNN did. They didn't put anybody to the left of me. Think about it.
I think we need to increase the minimum wage and so all my neighbors can get an increase in their wages.
The answer is no, that we're going to stop the tax increases that President Bush gave to people in the top brackets. We're going to end war as an instrument of policy, with the defense policy of strength through peace. So we're not going…
We need to move away from reliance on oil and coal and towards reliance on wind and solar.
The answer to your question, ma'am, is yes. It is politics. The Democrats have failed the American people. When we took over in January, the American people didn't expect us to give them a Democratic version of the war. They expected us to…
Didn't he show great courage during the Vietnam War, when he exposed what was going on with the Pentagon Papers. Really courageous American. I'm proud that he's up here.
Yes, I support you. And welcome to a better and a new America under a President Kucinich administration.

The vice president actively and systematically sought to deceive the citizens and the Congress of the United States.
I will tomorrow file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.
