I couldn't help but be struck that this guy i had thought was the embodiment of everything wrong with american politics, a lot of his domestic policy was mind-numbingly, head-spinningly to the left of obama's. it was under nixon that the epa was created. it was under nixon that osha was created. under nixon that the clean air and clean water acts were passed.

The young mouse's eyes snapped open, clear and bright. he swung the ancient sword high and struck at the giant adder. he struck for redwall! he struck against evil! he struck for martin! he struck for log-a-log and his shrews! he struck for dead guosim! he struck as methuselah would have wanted him to! he struck against cluny the scourge and tyranny! he struck out against captain snow's ridicule! he struck for the world of light and freedom! he struck until his paws ached and the sword fell from them!

I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.

The great fear that hung over the business community in the 1970s was death by regulation, and the great goal of the conservative movement, as it rose to triumph in the 1980s, was to remove that threat - to keep osha, the epa, and the ftc from choking off entrepreneurship with their infernal meddling in the marketplace.

Bush promised a foreign policy of humility and a domestic policy of compassion. he has given us a foreign policy of arrogance and a domestic policy that is cynical, myopic and cruel.

It’s wrong to hate. it always has been wrong and it always will be wrong! it’s wrong in america, it’s wrong in germany, it’s wrong in russia, it’s wrong in china! it was wrong in two thousand b.c., and it’s wrong in nineteen fifty-four a.d.! it always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong!

I don't think the american people had a clear picture of either nixon or me. i think they thought that nixon was a strong, decisive, tough-minded guy and that i was an idealist and antiwar guy who might not attach enough significance to the security of the country. the truth is, i was the guy with the war record, and my opposition to vietnam was because i was interested in the nation's well-being.

I heard governor romney here called me an economic lightweight because i wasn't a wall street financier like he was. do you really believe this country wants to elect a wall street financier as the president of the united states? do you think that's the experience that we need? someone who's going to take and look after as he did his friends on wall street and bail them out at the expense of main street america.

It is obviously easier, for the short run, to draw cheap labor from adjacent pools of poverty...than to find it among one's own people. and to the millions of such prospective immigrants from poverty to prosperity, there is, rightly or wrongly, no place that looks more attractive than the united states. given its head, and subject to no restrictions, this pressure will find its termination only when the levels of overpopulation and poverty in the united states are equal to those of the countries from which these people are now so anxious to escape.
