Presidents generally do what they are good at in their first four years, then spend their second term responding to the agendas imposed upon them by events.

You cannot cover the 50 million new people Obama seeks to cover without more doctors and nurses. But the administration and even the Blue Dogs in the House have proposed nothing to add to the supply of medical services even as they plan vastly to increase the demand by covering new people.

[T]he harm [Clinton AG] Reno did to American national security in the fight against terror was incalculable.

I think that really, when we look at this whole process, we can come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat, that fundamentally all Democrats are Democrats.

Leadership is a dynamic tension between where a politician thinks his country must go and where his voters want it to go.

Like the battleships of old, omnibus programs present too tempting a target, too easily destroyed by a single attack, to make it through a fight.... It is through incremental change after change, step after step, that a statesman of today can vindicate a bold vision.

Nothing works on the campaign trail like attacks on candidates for bad attendance. It alienates people on both sides of every issue and reflects a callous disregard of the work of the people. The feeble argument that I'm running for president isn't much of a rebuttal: George W. Bush finds time to be president, and he's running too.

The opposing party rarely causes so much angst as does one's own.

I didn't do what they said I did. I may have done enough so that I don't know if I can prove my innocence.

Those crazies in Montana who say, 'We're going to kill ATF agents because the UN's going to take over' - well, they're beginning to have a case.

Obama has had two raging successes in his term: He has slashed unemployment by persuading millions to give up hope and leave the labor force and He has cut illegal immigration by casting the United States into a permanent job shortage. Some achievements!

Spontaneous combustion of grassroots politics is the future.

Democrats are not about to nominate anyone who backs the tax cut, and Americans are not going to elect anyone who favors a tax increase.

I love Karl Rove. He elected Bush.

Take whatever position you want, but do take a position, because once you do, ample money awaits you on either side.

Every donation received is a potential negative ad. Vetting money is just as important as raising it.

Image
As Bob Dole found out, you can't keep a positive image while being your party's mouthpiece in Congress. That's why no legislative leader since James Madison has ever been elected president.

The last man to try to run for president advocating a tax increase was Walter Mondale. He lost 49 states in 1984, and the I'll raise your taxes reputation haunted him all the way to Minnesota last year, where he lost his 50th state in the Senate election.
