Quote

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.

We will shortly become like Germany, France, the United Kingdom, or Sweden - a socialist democracy in which the government dominates the economy, determines private-sector priorities and offers a vastly expanded range of services to many more people at much higher taxes.

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.

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.

Public-opinion polls show that Americans split about evenly on civil unions. But when the words 'gay marriage' are presented, they break 3-to-1 against it.

Growth demands investment, and investment demands stability. So the more Obama stirs the pot with his proposals and potential changes, the more he retards exactly the investment he needs to get the economy moving again.

The Iraq War marked the beginning of the end of network news coverage. Viewers saw the juxtaposition of the embedded correspondents reporting the war as it was actually unfolding and the jaundiced, biased, negative coverage of these same events in the network newsrooms.

I love Karl Rove. He elected Bush.

Obama's perverse view of fairness threatens to create reverse incentives, militating against growth, jobs, expansion and upward mobility.

There is no substitute for a clear vision and a decisive direction.

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.

A politician can do what he thinks is right, he just has to be sophisticated in how he goes about it. Those who seek a president who 'will disregard the polls and just lead,' ask for the political equivalent of 'The Charge of the Light Brigade.'

The Darwinian adaptive trait of our time is the ability to figure out when we are being lied to on television.

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 stronger Hillary is, the weaker she is. The more she seems like a likely presidential winner, the more difficult the senate race becomes in New York. It's perfect.

The problem: Democrats have to drop their stupid class-warfare rhetoric. With 74 million Americans owning stock in one form or another, anything which helps them can't be derided as a sop to the rich.

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.
