I don't find Senator Frist to be a social fundamentalist. . . .

Marvin Kalb

This is a race in a heavily Democratic state that, for a Republican candidate, will require full-time devotion in order to win, ... I could not be a senator and a father during this campaign. I could only be a candidate.

Peter Fitzgerald

Ted Wells

Senator Seward thinks it's particularly wrong for consumers to be paying so much tax on gas when they're already paying record profits to the big oil companies.

Duncan Davie

There's just no compelling reason why you'd want to vote against him. He's a very popular senator in this state.

Senator Martinez is not driven by polls; he is driven by the needs of the state of Florida and its 17 million constituents.

Mel Martinez

I'm confident that if the technical community were to help turn out Senator Hatch, 534 other people in Washington would pay closer attention to technology in the future.

Steve Urquhart

The failure of the White House to produce relevant documents is reason enough for any senator to oppose this nomination. The administration cannot treat the Senate with such disrespect without some consequences.

Harry Reid

From Day 1, it's been clear that Senator Clinton's focus has been on running for president, not focusing on New York.

Ryan Moses

As a Michigan senator, I feel a special responsibility to protect the Great Lakes. They are not only a source of clean drinking water for more than 30 million people but are also an integral part of Michigan's heritage and its economy.

Debbie Stabenow

This is Georgia's loss, but it is really a loss for the entire country. Paul Coverdell was a good friend, a fine leader and a great senator for the people of Georgia. He dedicated his work in the Senate and his entire life to making the world a better place for other people.

Don Nickles

If the senator really wants to support an increase in the minimum wage, we should pass the minimum wage with tax relief.

Don Nickles

The attorney general plays a role in bringing people together, ... But Senator Ashcroft has often taken aggressively activist positions on a number of issues that deeply divide the American people. He had a right to take these positions, but we also have a right and duty to evaluate how these position will affect his conduct as attorney general.

Senator Patrick Leahy

Montana's economy is on the right track in large part because of Senator Burns' experience and influence.

Tom Bunnell

The committee is continuing to work on a bipartisan bill because that remains the preference, but the senator also recognizes the time limitations in this year's legislative calendar and the need to get legislation to the president. With that in mind, of course we're considering some other options.

Bill Holbrook

The House of Representatives recently passed an ESA reform bill that promises to give property owners 100 percent direct compensation for their lost rights. Incredibly, Senator Crapo's bill seeks to undo this. For property rights advocates, CRESA snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.

Peyton Knight

It was nice of the senator to endorse many of the concepts the mayor came out with last week.

Greg Bortolin

[Expect Clinton to make more moves soon, her staff says.] Everyone here is hoping there is a resolution as she and Senator Murray have defined it, ... This is a step back, but it's not over yet. The senator is really worked up about it.

Philippe Reines

I will not run against Senator Staples. I've got too much respect for him. If he formally announces, I will formally announce also. I've always respected the decisions he's made.

Robert Nichols

At the end of the day, we do not see Rudman acting as the catalyst that pushes Congress into the portfolio limitations favored by the Administration and Senator (Richard) Shelby -- especially in light of the absence of new material accounting revelations.

These women, out of fear of reprisal, contacted Senator Allard for help.

Bruce Batt

He has every intention to seek re-election. But I'm going to let the senator make his own announcement.

Tom Gavin

The senator still stands by her commitment to eliminate pay-to-play. The pattern is still there. There are enough contributors that he has voted for to show a pattern.

Jennifer Knight

I know that's your testimony, Senator Torricelli, but it is not accurate.

Robert Torricelli

Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong.

George Galloway

I have no explanation for that. The senator intended the TTP permit as a means for subdivisions and cities to control nuisance deer. I have not looked at the rules promulgated by Texas Parks and Wildlife after the legislation was passed. It wouldn't be the first time the intent of a bill got changed.

Joe Morris

We do a meet-and-greet with the senator, and then go in and listen to music.

Ann F. Lewis

The cost of Yucca Mountain is approaching $100 billion, and Senator Reid believes too much money has been wasted on the project.

Senator Lautenberg's bill takes a comprehensive view of sex education to teach not only abstinence, but also the importance of contraceptives, and provides grants to teach both.

Alex Formuzis

I feel that I am very qualified based on my experience in the senate and what I have been exposed to as a senator. I never wanted to be involved with politics, but student government, I believe, is a whole different level.

Christine Bergeski

Had the decision belonged to Senator Kerry, Saddam hussein would still be in power today in Iraq. In fact, Saddam Hussein would almost certainly still be in control of Kuwait.

This was a visceral reaction to a horrible event. He feels a sense of responsibility, not just as a senator, but as an African-American senator.

David Axelrod

It's incumbent over the next 10 days to get Senator Feinstein on board.

Laura Reiff

Senator Kennedy joined Harvard's Owl Club in 1954, a social organization similar to a fraternity, before women were admitted to the campus and long before they were integrated into campus life.

Melissa Wagoner

As a senior member of our family and a respected senator of the land, Sen. Magsaysay holds my highest esteem and respect. It is in this light that I am again explaining that my decision was based on my sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law, and to work for the interests of our people.

Ramon Magsaysay

While a majority of the voters view both candidates as being honest and trustworthy, the number who did not jumped eight points for Mr. Forrester and four for the senator.

Clay F. Richards

The senator is grateful for the tremendous support he has received from every corner of Pennsylvania. He has received contributions from each county.

Virginia Davis

I really think the late senator would have approved, ... It's important for all of the residents of Northeastern Minnesota to realize how important our resources are.

Keith Nelson

I love it _ it's what she should be doing. We lose sight of the fact that _ because she might be a presidential candidate, because she's a big star, because she was first lady _ she is a New York senator. She has a real job, with real responsibilities.

John Marino

Holy smokes, you were a state senator? No wonder I got beat.

Allan Jones

Senator Boxer has said she would vote for the Feingold resolution.

Natalie Ravitz

Ham was a great senator and a great North Carolinian, but first and foremost he was a great American. He was the most special among us and he will be missed - God gave us the greatest when he gave us Ham.

Marc Basnight

Senator Reid is doing what is right for both his caucus and real immigration reform.

Susan Mccue

It's disappointing but not at all surprising. On key votes, Senator Chafee sides with the liberal special interests.

Steve Laffey

Senator John Kerry, one of those two failed Democratic presidential candidates, said Otis plays a ''critical role in our defense and homeland security.

William Delahunt

Senator Faircloth started the rape.

Marion Barry

If you're having an agriculture event in South Dakota, and the senior senator from South Dakota is a conferee on the farm bill and he's not invited, it might lead one to question whether that was an official policy event.

Jay Carson

I was extremely irritated that a state senator would try to hinder the opening of this court without seeking all the information. She tried to wield her power and squash us.

Matt Greene

Senator (Hilary) Clinton said it takes a village to raise a child, ... We believe that at Red Rock Central.

John Brennan

Senator Reid said on the Senate floor that it would take a miracle for Democrats to take back the Senate in 2006, and I think he's correct about that.

Brian Nick

What counts is not the names on the paper; what counts is: Where is the money, senator? Who paid me hundreds of thousands of dollars of money? The answer to that is 'nobody,'.

George Galloway

I just don't have a lot of confidence in Senator Mitchell. I think he's burdened by having an interest in the game. This matter is so serious that it requires complete independence.

John Dowd

The senator also wants to be able to provide assistance to her Democratic colleagues who will be on the ballot in '06.

Ann F. Lewis

Right before it happened, we heard from Senator Mel Martinez that he was going to support the bill because of the response he heard from his constituency, something we pride ourselves on being part of.

Nikolas Wolfe

I'm really disappointed that Senator Wyden chose not to support this highly qualified nominee.

Jim Westwood

Many folks, including me, frankly, were disappointed that Senator Landrieu a few years ago filibustered and supported that filibuster of Miguel Estrada ... after she had expressed strong support of that very nomination in her re-election campaign.

David Vitter

They all agree we need to be tough on borders. It will be difficult for even the most progressive senator to vote against that and look weak on border security.

Michele Waslin

Envy: Which senator once had a dimmer switch in their secret hideaway?

Brad Meltzer

Wyoming can play major role in that. There have been a lot of missed opportunities with our senior senator. That's just not good enough for the people of Wyoming.

Dale Groutage

Anytime a U.S. senator asks for our help, we will respond. Look what they did for us on BRAC.

John Kramer

Senator, if your name was John 6-Pack instead of John Forbes Kerry, and you had to gas up your racing motorcycle and your speedboat and your airplane every weekend, as well as your cars, you would have thought twice before you would have proposed raising the gas tax by 50 cents a gallon.

Bill Weld

Health care already costs too much. Unfortunately, the bill proposed by Senator Kennedy and many of the Democrats would make it worse. It would make insurance a lot more expensive and therefore less affordable. As a result, millions of Americans would probably lose their health care insurance.

Don Nickles

Senator Clinton's political attacks ignore the reality that Republican policies have generated more than 4.6 million jobs since May 2003, created a Department of Homeland Security, and invested record funding to protect cities throughout our country.

Danny Diaz

They have indicated they are going about the appropriate due diligence, background checks, and I understand they have interviewed him. Senator Allard is pleased that they are looking at an individual on the original list and that the process seems to be moving forward.

Sean Conway

It concerned many of us at Oracle that Harris would consider challenging Senator Allen, considering the great things he's done. We don't think tech issues are partisan issues at all. We as an industry should support our friends and stand by them.

Robert Hoffman

There are a lot of people, like Senator Dole, that are concerned about her as a friend and as a reporter. And Judy has a lot of friends.

Bob Bennett

Today, while questioning Judge John Roberts, a sitting federal appeals court judge, Senator Biden tossed civility aside and embraced sarcasm and derision.

Kay Daly

No man is fit to be a Senator... unless he is willing to surrender his political life for great principle.

Henry Fountain Ashurst

But we certainly have encouraged the leadership in Congress to schedule votes on the amendment to be sure every senator and representative will be on record on this amendment before they face the voters in November.

Peter Sprigg

The Web site doesn't have any connection to Senator Allen. But free speech allows them to print up what they want.

Jason Miller

A deal has been reached. Mike is very, very excited. He has a lot of respect for Senator [Herb} Kohl and the Bucks' organization. He's really ready to get it going.

Kevin Poston

Our focus is very much on putting pressure on Senator Nelson and exposing his weakness as a senator and as a leader. That only helps whoever the eventual nominee is.

Brian Nick

[Being a U.S. senator] is more than just casting votes on the issues you are presented with, ... It's about coming up with new ideas, it's about leadership, it's about persuasion. It's about getting 51 votes on initiatives that are going to solve problems.

Matt Brown

Senator Clinton was out there, making sure that money that was promised to New York for medical monitoring for firefighters, for police officers and all healthcare workers ? all rescue workers and recovery workers ? was not forgotten about.

Peter Gorman

It's probably harmless, ... but it trivializes the space program. It seems as if they've got nothing better to do than send up an old, outdated senator.

Alex Roland

Senator Proxmire leaves behind an unparalleled legacy as a defender of the American taxpayer and one of the hardest working senators in U.S. history.

Russ Feingold

At face value (Santorum's comments) show an incredible amount of insensitivity to the Gulf Coast. What exactly does Senator Santorum mean by imposing penalties on people who often times had no transportation and no place to go?

Jay Reiff

For fundraising, it's Boca or Fort Lauderdale - particularly for her as a New York senator, with all the retirees. There are more center-to-left Democrats in those areas. Bay area Democrats tend to be center to right.

John Belohlavek

For nine months they've been spewing lies and character assassination on Senator Burns. It's all politics.

James Pendleton

The senator remains open to a number of legislative and oversight options. His preference is always that the entire [intelligence] committee be briefed and involved in oversight issues.

Bill Duhnke

As a majority member in the senate I can do a lot more for our district back here. We've seen the difference between Senator Meier and what he can do for the district and what I'm able to do just because of the make-up of both houses and it's an exciting opportunity and a challenge to know that.

David Townsend

We have students who come into this organization and do extremely well with themselves. We have a student who is presently at John Hopkins and another working with Harry Reid, a senator from Nevada and the Senate Democrat leader.

William Furlong

DIE, n. The singular of 'dice.' We seldom hear the word, because there is a prohibitory proverb, 'Never say die.' At long intervals, however, some one says: 'The die is cast,' which is not true, for it is cut. The word is found in an immortal couplet by that eminent poet and domestic economist, Senator Depew: A cube of cheese no larger than a die May bait the trap to catch a nibblin.

Ambrose Bierce

The senator has spent some of his campaign funds to raise awareness about an important Senate initiative to provide real and genuine property tax relief for the people of his district. At times, it is appropriate to use paid advertising to do that so you can provide a more focused awareness effort.

Duncan Davie

The senator does not believe Mississippi or the rest of the nation will accept this.

Lee Youngblood

There is nothing in this letter that gives Senator Boxer any comfort that a catastrophic earthquake in California would be handled any better than Katrina. We just hope and pray that the earthquakes will wait until DHS finishes all their bureaucracy.

Natalie Ravitz

Most recently Senator Ken Salazar has said he's going to try and see what he can do, ... I talked with one of his staff the other day and I said that if there was any help I could give them, I'd do it in a New York second.

Jeff Anderson

I am proud to receive these important endorsements today and look forward to working with the growing list of New Yorkers who know that New Yorkers deserve a full-time Senator fighting for them.

Jeanine Pirro

Senator Nickles and Senator Lott have talked, and it's Senator Nickles' expectation that he will be budget chairman next year.

Brook Simmons

[This program] fits what Senator Nunn has in mind. The reason he came and associated his name with Georgia Tech is because he believes the ability to bridge this gap and make science and technology really contribute and make good policy.

John Endicott

The senator believes we live in a country where no one is above the law -- and that includes senators and presidents. He believes that it is appropriate that the matter be looked into by the appropriate people.

John Ullyot

Senator Kennedy joined Harvard's Owl club in 1954 before women were admitted to the campus and long before they were integrated into campus life. No one can question Senator Kennedy's lifelong commitment to fighting for civil rights, equality and justice.

Laura Capps

I think left-wing groups have been feeding Senator Kennedy snippets and he has been mindlessly reciting them. It was a satire.

Dinesh D'Souza

We're seeing the Democrats moving toward that position. Senator Kerry will be joined by others. There's going to be a consensus around phased withdrawal.

Bill Carrick

As someone now that is trying to please a number of constituents, it's rather tricky ground for Senator Santorum to navigate.

Christopher Borick

I've had a few students come (to our office) and ask questions, but a lot of people aren't familiar with what a senator does or what ASUA does.

Patrick Cook

Mel Martinez has been a key senator on this issue, and very energetic. He's negotiating with other Republicans and has to deal with strong disagreement from some members of his party.

Douglas Rivlin

He fought so hard for that hospital and he saw his efforts realized on Thursday with Senator John Flanagan and he knew about it. He had worked very hard for that. I'm glad he knew his efforts came forward [but] he never saw retirement, which I feel really bad about. People work so hard and they never see the rewards at the end.

Kevin O'hare

I think he intends to run for president, ... I think Senator McCain cares about the opinions of New Hampshire voters.

Pat Toomey

Why did Sen. Frist suddenly decide to sell the stock in June after holding the stock for so long? Also, did the Senator order the sale based on insider knowledge that the value of the stock was about to decline precipitously?

Melanie Sloan

Re-electing Senator Byrd will allow him to continue to preach his blame America first agenda.

Brian Nick

Senator Santorum's remarks are divisive, hurtful and reckless and are completely out of bounds for someone who is supposed to be a leader in the United States Senate.

Brad Woodhouse

Senator Graham would have been very difficult to beat. He'd been governor for two terms. He's a U.S. Senator. He has a lot of friends; he's done a lot of favors to help a lot of people in Florida. So the fact that he's not running really does change the whole landscape in Florida.

Allen Boyd

Right now in the Senate, it's very difficult to move any kind of climate initiative forward. The bottom line for the senator is that she wants some kind of action to be taken, and she believes it's possible to find a middle ground that a critical mass can agree on.

Scott Gerber

[The money Sen. Lindsey Graham received came from the federal political action committee and] were not the subject of the Texas inquiry, ... Senator Graham has no intention of returning the contribution.

Kevin Bishop

Senator Byrd has again demonstrated he is out of touch with West Virginia.

Dan Ronayne

It's my understanding that he followed it much as any state senator would, he did not apply any pressure.

Joe Haynes

I know the senator has had serious questions about the premise of the war, weapons of mass destruction, and he is very clearly concerned about what's going on.

Stephen Hourahan

I applaud the senator for her efforts, but they are ineffectual and too little. She needs to get real with ... the unions and the special interests that listen to her and have them recognize they are destroying jobs and opportunities in the state.

Mark Alesse

Senator Kennedy is committed to ensuring that this program continues and that the commonwealth's proud history in military technology continues to grow and expand.

Melissa Wagoner

As a former county commissioner, the senator understands, probably better than anyone, how this proposal could affect county government. He hears them loud and clear.

Matt Mackowiak

Heather and I have gone up there [to the homes] and just hung out, ... The kids are great. They're really motivated and it's something they want to do. One kid was doing junior senator stuff and working at camps. It's really fun to hang out with them.

Mark Prior

The trouble with Senator Long is that he is suffering from halitosis of the intellect. That's presuming Senator Long has an intellect.

Harold L. Ickes

I have a lot of respect for Senator Frist. We disagree with him on one issue, but it's a big issue. . . . I would not write him off; I would just say it will be very difficult to get support from the pro-life community. This is a big issue to disagree on, [but] it certainly does not end our friendship.

Tony Perkins

If he decides not to be a senator, he can certainly make a living playing poker. I've never seen anybody hold cards so close to the vest.

Marty Wiseman

The process will determine that (a replacement), ... It might not happen. Senator Eaton might be able to rally the troops.

Jack Barnes

Voters would find it a strained argument to believe that the senator who prides herself on intelligence and knowledge of detail can't recall any details in this case. It just strains credulity.

Jonathan Tasini

The specific issue regarding Dubai may be moot if they are pulling out. Senator Lautenberg believes legislation must be passed . . . so something like this doesn't happen again.

Alex Formuzis

Senator Burns should stand up to the big pharmaceutical companies and let Medicare negotiate drug prices to make them more affordable for our senior citizens. We need a program that works for seniors, not against them.

Jon Tester

Senator Allard wants them to look at the Air Force Academy from leadership through process.

Sean Conway

Senator Kennedy has real environmental and economic concerns, and the federal government continues to lack a national policy and process to guide offshore alternative energy development.

Melissa Wagoner

What a great event for the governor to help New Hampshire Republicans, as Senator Sununu has helped Massachusetts Republicans.

Julie Teer

China represents the best partisan foreign policy issue in the U.S. political system today, ... So a senator, a congressman, a politician can appear to be standing up for American interests and fighting communism by taking on China.

Robert Ross

There aren't many more elections to win in New York City and we'll take over the Senate by making the inroads that Senator Clinton and Chuck Schumer made in upstate New York.

Neil Breslin

His timing, I think, was unfortunate. A junior senator in the minority party doesn't get much of an opportunity to shine.

Ross Baker

If I were Senator John McCain, I would be the angriest man in America today.

Patrick Murphy

I don't think it's fair for any candidate to be the replacement. I think they should just send someone down there to complete Senator Horton's term.

Gloria Whisenhunt

In the absence of any opposition to this candidate, the senator believed the president deserved his nominee.

Leslie Phillips

We have the Terminator as governor, and we had an actor as president, so why shouldn't we have a fashion designer as a senator?

Tom Ford

Senator (Lindsey) Graham has not agreed to delay a vote on the China currency legislation. No decision has been made and any insinuation to the contrary is nothing more than uninformed speculation.

Kevin Bishop

One thing that's consistent across several polls is that Senator Titus has really high negatives. We feel it's virtually impossible for her to get to 50 percent in the primary.

Greg Bortolin

No doubt that he will make an excellent senator.

Jeri Ryan

Senator Warner believes that the decision of whether to keep Secretary Rumsfeld is up to the president.

John Ullyot

They were running from athletic commissions, ... Senator John McCain actually went after them. Instead of working with him, (Meyrowitz) ran from him. But if it wasn't for McCain it wouldn't be the sport that it is today.

Dana White

We've received the information from Southwest Airlines and will provide it to the senator as part of his efforts to hear from all sides on this important issue.

Don Stewart

I think the senator has looked out at the political landscape. Perhaps we'll see the country go much farther to the right than he is comfortable with, and he is prepared to stand up for Vermont and America and do the right thing.

Bernard Sanders

I agree that it is nice that Senator Bennett is concerned about what happens to park residents who appear to be in the way of developers and park owners, but let the senator and other developers pay the bill resulting from evictions and displacements of mobile home residents. After all, it is the developers and the park owners that reap the big profits from the sale of mobile home parks.

Anthony Pinzone

There is no excuse for Wyoming to be so far behind, 20 years behind, in the energy race when your senator sits on the Senate energy committee.

Dale Groutage

Senator Figueroa has been a champion of quality health care and the inclusion of psychological services. We are delighted to present this award to someone who has not only spearheaded efforts to expand mental health services in the state of California, but has also been a friend and an advocate of the psychology profession.

Russ Newman

One of the great things about this country is that people are able to express their opinions on these issues. I think that the people protesting are going to find that there are a lot of issues in this campaign that they will agree with the senator and support the senator on. Everyone is going to agree that the safe return of U.S. troops is the top concern and number one priority.

Matt Butler

Sen. Santorum is committed to carrying out the responsibilities associated with his official role as a U.S. senator. His remaining time is balanced with the priorities of his family and the challenge of running statewide.

Virginia Davis

I don't know if I would be able to endorse him in the race, Everybody individually has got to think: Are those serious enough that they will not support the Democratic senator?

Larry Gossett

I can understand an American Senator or a Congressman making some comment. Even I can go to the US and make some criticism. I have no problem with that. But an ambassador has to behave according to certain norms.

Prakash Karat

President Reagan picked a consensus conservative nominee when he chose Justice O'Connor. Senator Reid has been urging President Bush to fill the vacancy with someone with a temperament and philosophy similar to Justice O'Connor. We're going to deal with the nominee on his or her merits.

Jim Manley

If we needed the roads to be fixed, they said that's the city road, and the city would say that's the state's road. We just going back and forth between them. Now our senator said he's gonna see to it that they both do it.

Leinaala Lopes

Senator Clinton has worked hard for Freddy Ferrer and has done everything asked of her, and will continue to do so.

Philippe Reines

We will be closely monitoring FAA's review of the specific safety concerns raised by their inspector in his letter to Senator Dayton.

David Barnes

If we do very well in the next campaign, when the next war comes before the Congress, Senator Clinton and others will think twice about supporting an immoral war.

Jonathan Tasini

Senator Salazar believes punitive measures that are spiteful and petty and don't do anything to rationally reform our national immigration laws are counterproductive.

Cody Wertz

I think I can speak for every Senator, saying that he or she ran for the Senate because we want to help make this a better place; that is, we want to help our States and help America.

Max Baucus

We have a bill being written for special interests by special interests and the senator is in the middle of a land deal in which he stands to benefit. You won't convince me otherwise.

Charles Plancon

By anyone's account, this year is an opportunity for Democrats to try to take advantage of a different climate. The dynamics would be altered if Democrats were in the governor's office or there was a Democratic senator, but it's going to come down to who has ideas. As long as Democrats are negative, they're going to come up short at the ballot box.

John Mcclelland

His life has really opened up since I made him a Senator.

John Hurt

Just as the president has a full press operation to deliver his message across the country, Senator Reid as Democratic leader has a staff to fulfill his obligation to spread the word about the Democratic caucus's commitment to a better America.

Rebecca Kirszner

Senator Smith would do well to act as we did and read the decision before commenting on it. As with other 'statutory construction' rulings, this decision leaves Congress itself free to decide what its laws mean.

Richard Doerflinger

As a lifelong Iowan who has been a farmer, a registered nurse, a small businesswoman, a state senator and secretary of agriculture, Patty has spent her life devoted to her community and her state.

Chet Culver

Senator Sherry claimed $300 to stay with his mum at Opossum Bay.

Peter Costello

We thank Senator Danforth for his bold leadership and powerful voice for basic fairness for gay and lesbian families.

Patrick Guerriero

Senator Bayh is to be commended for addressing many of the issues that were raised about earlier drafts of the proposal.

Travis Larson

This is a day that I'm sure is very hurtful to the senator. We would welcome the senator to come join us.

Karen Thurman

We are glad that Senator Specter is moving forward with comprehensive immigration reform, ... It is long overdue.

Laura Capps

It's as difficult a fiscal environment as we have seen in recent memory here in Washington. But Senator Warner believes Jefferson Lab has an important story to tell.

John Ullyot

Not one--not one Republican Senator--voted for Senate Bill 27.

Sen. Wendell Jones

We met with State Representative Chapin Rose and State Senator Dale Righter and we talked about education issues.

Kathy Wright

Let's take a deep breath here. I guess what's frustrating is that Senator Kerry was just at our conference making terrific proposals that would benefit the immigrant community.

Cecilia Munoz

I have seen this country propagandized into war. It's now a second wave of propagandizing, with the president taking the stump, joined by persons like Senator Joe Lieberman.

Lowell Weicker

We commend Senator Williams for bringing (the bill) before us, ... And we agreed immediately because we saw the injustice of the situation.

A.j. Nicholson

B.W. was kind of an interesting man. He was a realist. He had to make a cotton crop and go on. He became a state senator and was involved in Reconstruction. He was involved in the (Gov. Francis T.) Nicholls government and in the fight against the lottery.

Jimmy Marston

Senator Reid is focused on passing real, comprehensive reform. He feels we should keep our eye on that goal.

Sharyn Stein

It's been a dream of his for years. Frank doesn't want this to come to an end because he'll no longer be a senator.

Rep. Carlos Uresti

The senator was obviously supporting the hometown team, and the senator wanted people to know that. It was a fun release.

Cody Wertz

The senator is not going to listen to the president paint a rosy picture on a disastrous situation. The senator believes, no matter how many speeches the president gives, that the policy on Iraq is broken.

Tom Gavin

The policies and actions of Senator Hatch are very concerning to me from what I read and from my personal interactions with him.

Mark Cuban

The senator is from Montana, but has never taken an interest in it.

Elouise Cobell

Senator Santorum's remarks are deeply discriminatory and are antithetical to bringing people together. If this is how the president defines inclusion, then it clearly calls into question the depth of compassion in his conservatism.

Elizabeth Birch

Dina Titus is an enormously effective state senator, with a record of achievement that has improved the lives of Nevadans.

Ellen Malcolm

The senator is grandstanding, not to provide solutions but to advance her presidential ambitions.

Edward Cox

Tennessee deserves a U.S. senator who understands that our strength as a nation comes not from having the strongest military or the biggest economy, but... from the goodness of our people, our faith in God and in the liberties He has blessed us with.

Ed Bryant
