The left has lost touch with popular opinion, thereby making it possible for the right to present itself as the party of common sense.

It would be simply suicidal to French Canadians to form a party by themselves.

Why, so soon as French Canadians, who are in a minority in this House and in the country, were to organise as a political party, they would compel the majority to organise as a political party, and the result must be disastrous to themselves.

This country must be governed, and can be governed, simply on questions of policy and administration and the French Canadians who have had any part in this movement have never had any other intention but to organise upon those party distinctions and upon no other.

Nationalizing businesses, nationalizing banks, is not a solution for the democratic party, it's the objective.

After the Republican Party did everything that Colin Powell says it needs to do to grow, and nominated the very kind of candidate he wanted in 2008, what did Powell do? He endorsed Obama! So according to the Drive-Bys and David Gergen, Republicans should let somebody who campaigned and voted for Obama, tell us how to build our party.

Government stimulates the democrat party.

In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong.

I had a lot of friends in high school, but I was never the wild party girl. Never have been, never plan to be!

I'm 20 years old. I like to party as much as anyone my age. Going clubbing is my way of relaxing or releasing a lot of stress. I don't feel that I should have to justify that part of my life. I don't know that I'm necessarily an addict.
