More quotes by Chris Matthews
This is a fundamental question, Mr. Mayor [ Rudy Giuliani ]. Is the president of the United States legitimate or not? Do you believe it? If you believe it, why doesn't your candidate state it.
Chris Matthews
I`m surprised people are that hopeful about what government can do, because if you believe in socialism, society can run a pretty decent government, it can provide services, it can regulate the economy effectively.
Chris Matthews
While Jeb Bush finds himself mired in the muck of an intramural fight in his own party over his remarks about the Iraq War, Hillary Clinton is sticking to the low-key strategy, and it looks like it`s working.
Chris Matthews
In life, as in death, Pope John Paul II was one of the most visible people on Earth.
Chris Matthews
I do still think there is a big disconnect between Republicans in Washington, D.C., and Republicans everywhere I go. When you start talking about, you know, foreign entanglements, they just don`t want any part of it.
Chris Matthews
America's the one country in the world where anybody who comes here does better than where they came from.
Chris Matthews
Hillary Clinton did better among working-class whites when she's running against Barack Hussein Obama. How is she doing now against an older, a professor type, who seems very unthreatening, very likable.
Chris Matthews
I never know what all of these guys are thinking, but Marco Rubio sounded desperate, like, We've got a leak in the dike, we got to stop this thing.
Chris Matthews
I used to love hand raising.
Chris Matthews
I think, any politician, you have to hold them to their word. And conservatives run on fiscal conservatism. .

The Catholic Church [with Pope John Paul II] has lost its shepherd. The world has lost a champion of human freedom.
Chris Matthews
To become a saint in the Catholic Church, the normal procedure is, beatification, requiring one miracle in your name, then canonization, roughly in five years or longer, to become a saint, a second miracle.
Chris Matthews
President [Barack] Obama's staking his reelection hopes on rebuilding America's middle class. He wants higher taxes on the wealthy, tougher rules on Wall Street, and everyone else to get a fair shot to succeed. Republicans can cry class warfare if they want, but as the president put it today, it's about this country's welfare.
Chris Matthews
Once it was suggested that Saddam Hussein might give his weaponry to terrorists, or might use weapons himself in the region, then it became hard for the Democrats to say, 'Well, that can't happen.'
Chris Matthews
When I hear Rand Paul, who is much younger, saying wars are verkakte, I agree with him.
Chris Matthews
The real difference between relationship politics and transactional politics is loyalty. [Barack] Obama doesn't seem to expect it.
Chris Matthews
I've never heard anybody [of president's candidates] talk about the poorly educated.
Chris Matthews
Here's our policy. It's Unite the world against terrorism.
Chris Matthews
Are Democrats for expanding U.S. trade with the world and perhaps creating new jobs, or are they out to protect existing U.S. jobs?
Chris Matthews
I look back to the Great Depression, and what Roosevelt was able to do in very difficult times, to get Social Security through back in the time when it was seen as - well, it wasn't what it is today. It was sort of a last-ditch, if you really need it, you got it, but, today, it's much more a part of your retirement program.
