My family is more important than my party.

For more than 20 years, on every one of the great issues of freedom and security, John Kerry has been more wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure.

Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks of campaign rhetoric. Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are. How you vote tells people who you really are deep inside.

John Kerry, who says he doesn't like outsourcing, wants to outsource our national security.

I can remember when Democrats believed that it was the duty of America to fight for freedom over tyranny.

There is but one man to whom I am willing to entrust their future and that man's name is George Bush.

Where I come from, deeds mean a lot more than words.

Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, today's Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators.

Cover this confirmation process with prayer. When they make it harder for us to pray, we just pray harder.

You'll never find a candidate that you can identify 100 percent with unless you become one yourself.

God's most precious commodity—hope .... When a child has no hope a nation has no future.

What we fly today is not an enduring symbol of our heritage, but the fighting flag of those who wanted to preserve a segregated South.

We spend an awful lot of money on the criminal justice system that could better be spent at the other end of the spectrum.

Politics has been very good to me. Politics can become, and often is, very brutal

Nobody can tell me from some ivory tower that you take a kid, kick him in the rear end, and it doesn’t do him any good.

I wish we lived in the days when you could challenge a person to a duel!

In his 16 years in the Senate, John Kerry has fought against government waste and worked hard to bring some accountability to Washington. Early in his Senate career in 1986, John signed on to the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Bill, and he fought for balanced budgets before it was considered politically correct for Democrats to do so. John has worked to strengthen our military, reform public education, boost the economy and protect the environment.

[T]ax cuts are not just something that all taxpayers deserve, but also the best way to curb government spending. It is the best kind of tax reform. If the money never reaches the table, Congress can't gobble it up.

If this [national Democratic Party] is a national party, sushi is our national dish. Today, our national Democratic leaders look south and say, "I see one-third of a nation and it can go to hell."

One of these days, someone smarter and younger and more articulate than I is going to get through to the American people just how really messed up the federal government has become. And when that happens, the American people are going to rise up like that football crowd in Cleveland and run both teams off the field.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.

Silence isn't golden. It's yellow.

I truly believe that at times like this, silence is not golden. It is yellow.

Howard Dean knows about as much about the South as a hog knows about Sunday.

I have knocked on the door of this man's soul and found someone home.
