Republicans many times can't get the words 'equality of opportunity' out of their mouths. Their lips do not form that way.

There really has not been a strong Republican message to either the poor or the African American community at large.

There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud.

The Republicans are looking after the financial interests of the wealthiest individuals in this country.

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

The Republican consciousness has no integrity and it falls apart once you check it out. If you're a Christian, why would you want to fry this dude?

Finally, I want to make the point that we are Republicans. We are the majority. It is going to be a little more difficult because we have to govern and come up with ideas.

Newt Gingrich had to work hard - getting Republican candidates to sign the Contract with America - to nationalize the election that swept Republicans to victory in 1994. A Democratic anti-Tea Party campaign would do that for the Republicans - nationalize the election, gratis - in 2010.

It's easy to keep issuing blame to Republicans or the president.

This is a struggle for the soul of the Democratic Party, which in too many cases has become so corporate and identified with corporate interests that you can't tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

There is no Democratic or Republican way of cleaning the streets.

I'd be honored to be playing a Republican, although I'm not.

I would say practical progressive, which means that the Republican party or any political party has got to recognize the problems of a growing and complex industrial civilization. And I don't think the Republican party is really wide awake to that.

I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration.

By virtually any measure, the record of the Republican Majority is an appalling failure.
