fighting mass-destruction agreement
We stopped the fighting [in 1991] on an agreement that Iraq would take steps to assure the world that it would not engage in further aggression and that it would destroy its weapons of mass destruction.

president social periods
Social Security is not in crisis. It's a crisis the president's created, period.
country liars people
President Bush is a liar. He betrayed Nevada and he betrayed the country... All Americans should be concerned, not just because he lied to me or the people of Nevada and indeed all Americans, but because the President's decision threatens Americans' lives.
government balance should
American families cannot compete with billionaires. Our involvement in government should not be dependent on our bank account balances
cowboy years people
The National Endowment of the Humanities is the reason we have in northern Nevada every January a cowboy poetry festival. Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist.

Republicans cannot be trusted to end the culture of corruption,
