I think it is important to ask ourselves as citizens not as Democrats attacking the administration but as citizens whether a world power can really provide global leadership on the basis of fear and anxiety?

As long as enough people can be frightened then all people can be ruled. That is how it works in a democratic system and mass fear becomes the ticket to destroy rights across the board.

It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.

And I want to be able to - you know make Republicans and Democrats famous for keeping jobs in California.

I'm a Republican. I don't want to go to heaven and have to face my family up there and tell them I voted for a Democrat.

Democrats can neither control nor predict whether our GOP counterparts are really ready to play chicken with the U.S. economy. But we can assure the American people that our party takes the nation's faith and credit seriously.

In light of these facts Republicans have put forth a variety of proposals to make Social Security remain solvent for future generations. But up to this point Democrats have chosen to oppose our good faith efforts and insist that indeed there is no problem.

Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns and they spit on your faith.

It's a new day for the Democrats when it comes to matters of faith and the younger Evangelicals are aware of this and many of them are moving into the Democratic camp.

The democratic idealist is prone to make light of the whole question of standards and leadership because of his unbounded faith in the plain people.
