Fixing our healthcare system as a whole is our primary challenge, and to make it happen you need to get engaged – to pound the pavement, get your hands dirty, endure real sacrifice, take on antiquated thinking and help lead the public debate.
Senator John Kerry
Social Security is truly a test of our values as Americans. Social Security is a fundamental promise that lifts half of our seniors out of poverty and helps millions of disabled Americans, widows and orphans. We owe Americans a better debate than we`re ha...
Senator John Kerry
[in a 1984 debate, referring to Walter Mondale]: I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent`s youth and inexperience.
Ronald Reagan
Since I have said I am 60% American I can say there is one thing that kills any debate - an American disease called political correctness, which is a fear of talking ... What makes me a little bit sad is that there`s an American TV show in which the presi...
Lars von Trier
[on Tucker Carlson and his show]: You may have heard that I went onto a TV show on CNN called "Crossfire" (1982), which I suppose is a debate show named after the stray bullets that strike and kill innocent bystanders during a gang fight. I said some pret...
Jon Stewart
Seems there`s a big debate going on about whether a new TV commercial for Minute Maid orange juice portrays Popeye and Bluto as gay lovers or just good friends. The commercial shows Popeye and Bluto at the beach and riding a bicycle for two. I don`t think...
Jay Leno
I`m not a snob, I like entertaining films as well. But when you do a film like this, or like Three Kings (1999) - films that get you in a bit of trouble - it`s fun to open up a debate. [On Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005)]
George Clooney
You do now have one in three people, as shown by the famous Carlton Monarchy debate poll, saying they want to get rid of the Monarchy. That was unthinkable even three, four years ago.
Anthony Holden
When this report is issued and the debate then begins ... the National Association of Home Builders is going to do its damnedest to protect the preferred treatment of housing in the tax code.
Arnold Glasow
When they have interacted, it`s been because one division didn`t like what another division was doing. And depending on who won that debate, bad decisions were made.
Atharva Veda
We now have an opportunity, though, to do something we didn`t do in the industrial age, and that is to get a leg up on this, to bring the public in quickly, to have an informed debate.
Ali Rahnema
We must shift the energy policy debate in America with an increased focus on alternative and renewable fuels and Congress must pass meaningful alternative fuels and incentive programs to help move the U.S. away from dependence on foreign oil.
Anabella Hedman
We all learned in kindergarten that the beginning is a very good place to start. As we have this debate on illegal immigration and illegal entry into this country, let`s begin at the very beginning by sealing the borders to this great Nation.
Marsha Blackburn
Unfortunately, you know, working in a spirit of cooperation and respect requires someone else to reach back, and I don`t think that`s happened and it`s been disappointing because the debate in our country has become so rancorous.
Karen Hughes
Today the people from my State of Tennessee would listen to this debate, or even talk about a reference to God on our money or in the Halls of Congress or in our Pledge and say, please, let common sense and logic win the day and prevail versus legal mumbo...
Andrew Stotz
To pass to the deluge, and beyond it, and to come to close quarters with our proper division, the origin of Romance itself is a very debatable subject, or rather it is a subject which the wiser mind will hardly care to debate much.
Alex Morrison
This is simply an indictment that says, in a national security investigation about the compromise of a CIA officer`s identity that may have taken place in the context of a very heated debate over the war, whether some person -- a person, Mr. Libby -- lied...
Patrick Fitzgerald
