Mitt Romney would move the Court even further right, putting landmark decisions like Roe v. Wade at risk. Some say Romney would repeat the past. I disagree - he'd be worse.

Republicans always try to paint Democrats as weak on defense. This time, they can't. After all, Mitt Romney's idea of an overseas accomplishment is sending U.S. jobs there.

The bottom line is there are lots of problems that were not created by government. The biggest one is loss of middle class incomes, loss of good-paying jobs which was created by technology and globalization. Above all, when you can move a job to China or India, it reduces wages.

America is a place where we all come together. It is a place of consensus.

Reclassification is the best way to for us to preserve the Internet as an unfettered tool for communication and the sharing of ideas.

I'm strongly for a patient Bill of Rights. Decisions ought to be made by doctors, not accountants.

Anyone who thinks they have a monopoly on truth, and there is only one way to see the world, always gets us into trouble.

What the public hates the most is when they think the politicians aren't listening to them. They understand that we can't solve all their problems with a snap of our fingers, but they sure want us to try because we are public servants.

I went to the public schools myself. And they were great for me.

Soft money will find its way and seep into the political system and corrode it, unless we plug every hole.

Mitt Romney's only bottom line is the one at the end of his own bank statement. The problem is that he confuses his own narrow, self-interest - and that of people like him - with the national interest. He thinks as long as we do right by the Mitt Romneys of the world, America will be just fine.

Everyone has a hole inside themselves. They don't know they had it until they have kids, and then that hole fills up. And it's so great; it's just God's greatest gift to us.
