[Religion is a way of reconstructing] what has come to feel like a crumbling moral framework in the life of our nation.

Whether or not Saddam is implicated directly in the anthrax attacks or the horrors of September 11, he is, by any common definition, a terrorist who must be removed.

The difference in this town - here in Washington - on the war is not between Democrats and Republicans it's between people who believe essentially we've already lost in Iraq and it's time to get out - and most of the rest of us.

I also urge the Obama administration - both on its own and in cooperation with other responsible governments around the world - to use all legal means necessary to shut down WikiLeaks before it can do more damage by releasing additional cables. WikiLeaks' activities represent a shared threat to collective international security.

Global warming is not a conqueror to kneel before - but a challenge to rise to. A challenge we must rise to.

I share the anger, but, ultimately, to govern this country, it takes more than anger. It takes experience. It takes positions that reflect the best values of the American people.

Hollywood has glorified adult premarital sex, and that is unhelpful if your goal is to reduce teen pregnancy and out-of-wedlock births.

Wes Clark put forward a middle-class tax plan, but it only helps a quarter of middle-class families, none without minor children at home. And mine helps 98 percent of the middle class.

I have a reputation for giving unpopular answers at Democratic debates. I never used marijuana. Sorry!

Shame on us if 100 years from now our grandchildren are living on a planet that has been irreparably damaged by Global Warming, and they ask, 'How could those who came before us, who saw this coming, have let this happen?'

There are extensive contacts between Saddam Hussein's government and al Qaeda.

John Adams, second president of the United States, wrote that our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. George Washington warned us never to indulge the supposition 'that morality can be maintained without religion.'
