Jay Inslee
There is no excuse for this administration shielding information about Iraq and the fact that we have great difficulties there from the American people.
Jay Inslee
The fact is that we cannot drill our way to independence. We cannot drill our way to freedom, and we cannot drill our way to create jobs in this country.
Jay Inslee
I am not one for half measures or half-hearted efforts.
Jay Inslee
It is a happy coincidence between what my constituents believe and my interests.
Jay Inslee
When Arnold Schwarzenegger goes to his reward - how's that? That's a crack, but I treat Governor Schwarzenegger well in my book. He's done such great work in California we'll forgive him one personal habit. Everybody should have one not-totally-CO2-friendly habit they can be forgiven for. So we'll forgive him that one.
Jay Inslee
Investing in industries and technology for the 21st century generates high-skilled, high-wage jobs for industries of the future.
Jay Inslee
Tolerance is the value that was selected to put on here, and tolerance is as American as apple pie.
Jay Inslee
When we design our national R&D programs, we ought to ensure a place for the small, the new, and the cutting-edge.
Jay Inslee
Things are difficult enough about Iraq without the Federal Government suppressing the truth about Iraq.
Jay Inslee
The need to help spread democracy and the ability to do that will be much greater if we break this addiction to oil, which gives the oil princes and sultans the power in the Mideast.
