Roger Abrams
The president cannot use the pursuit of national security as a carte blanche to undermine the very freedoms that define America.

Bill Strassberger
Those who leak an unfinished audit to the news media usually have some reason to undermine the process, usually because they are pursuing some personal political agenda. Such leaks committed by public officials are unprofessional and often intended to mislead the public.
David Neustadt
It's really a problem of appearances in most cases. In 99 percent of the cases, it's something that looks bad, but you don't frequently have legislators who are necessarily swayed by this. But it is a concern. It can undermine public confidence. What people see they tend to believe, whether or not at its core it really is as nefarious as all that.
Cindi Canary
The supply side is going to progressively improve in the next few months, while the demand outlook is going to get worse. It's the combination of those two factors that's starting to undermine the bull story in this market.

Carbon dioxide pollution endangers public health and the environment, just as other harmful emissions. These companies must be held accountable and forced to clean up.
Richard Blumenthal
Year-after-year growth is what makes a company worth more, not one-time synergies that undermine potential growth. So we are baffled by their statements and their actions and absolutely do not consider our offer in any way opportunistic.
Richard Sands
We don't have to sit here and say things that undermine them. We're just going to go out there and play the way we're capable of playing, and hopefully, it'll show up on the scoreboard.

Ralph Neas
He has an extensive track record of employment decisions to undermine women's rights in the workplace.
Marcia Greenberger

Hank Mckinnell
Blaming the smoking ban for the struggles of one business is disingenuous and another attempt by a few tavern owners to undermine a city policy that is working to protect the health of workers and customers.
Gary Poulson
His pattern of conflicts of interest undermines citizen confidence and investor confidence in the operations of the SEC. Left unchecked this has the potential to undermine market confidence.

Scott Harshbarger
Secretary of State Rice made clear in her remarks that the U.S. favors a referral of Iran to the Security Council for sanctions if negotiations fail, ... because the Bush Administration suspects that Irans uranium enrichment program is a nuclear weapons program, but the resistance from Russia and China to vote for sanctions, may undermine a U.S. referral.

The Social Security trust fund is in pretty good shape today and we should not embark upon risky, dangerous schemes which will, in fact, undermine Social Security, such as privatization.
Max Baucus

Douglas Rutzen

Nelson Wiseman

Pete White
This clear flaunting of Islamic Law by displaying pictures of scantily clad women will only add fuel to sentiments that the U.S. is trying to undermine Muslim culture in Iraq. It risks alienating the actual population.
Inayat Bunglawala

Steve Murphy
I'm not at all surprised that the rebels are not accepting the peace deal. Why should they? It's never going to be implemented. The government is just going to undermine it every way they can.
John Ashworth
These violations and breaches, whether by the SLA or the Arab militias or indeed by the government forces, should not be tolerated anymore as they further undermine what is in any case a tenuous ceasefire.
Baba Gana Kingibe
It is good that the Commission is allowing the opt-out to remain, but it is quite wrong to give trade unions a veto over what should be an individual decision. The proposals would undermine the individual's right to choose the hours they work.
John Cridland

Pete Wilson
Their objective was to undermine the electoral system and overthrow the government.
Bereket Simon
But the party doesn't want that - it would undermine the current leadership, and he'd be accused of boosting Hillary to the detriment of some other possible frontrunners in 2008.
Christopher Sands
We never again want to have questions raised about the objectivity of our research, ... I have been reminded myself of how the appearance of what we do may be questioned and of how we must take care to ensure that our conduct does not raise such questions or in any way undermine our customers' or shareholders' confidence in the integrity of our business practices.

Eliot Engel
We have special interests trying to infiltrate and undermine our coastal zone program. It is driven by money and greed. It is not driven out of the desire to protect the public interest or our natural resources.
Elizabeth Hagood
