Election by election, state by state, pricinct by pricinct, door by door, vote by vote we're going to left our party up and we're going to take this country back for the people who built it.
A lot of us want to see 'Dean for America' evolve into something more, something that helps more Democrats win elections based on the message we created, ... The campaign has changed the party so much, and has really shown people what can be done if you inspire a movement of people. So a lot of us would like to see that organization continue. If it can't continue as a presidential campaign, we could still do some good for the party and for the country.
They are the party of selfishness and self-absorption.
The president has a moral obligation to rein in the right-wing extremists in his party and stop this divisive rhetoric about immigrants.
My view is FOX News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and I don't comment on FOX News.

Tom DeLay himself has never been the issue. DeLay is a symptom of a larger disease?a sick Republican culture of corruption that touches everyone who took his dirty money, voted for his corrupt leadership, or sat silently while their party has sold our government to the highest bidder.
There are no ideas in the Republican Party right now in the Congress. They're the party of no. They desperately need some intellectual leadership. And whatever you think of Newt Gingrich, he can supply intellectual leadership. So I hope he does run.
I talked for a long time about that, what I call the hate wing of the Republican Party.And often been criticized for saying it. But there is such a thing, and it started in 1968 with the southern strategy developed by Richard Nixon to bring southern racists out of the Democratic Party and into the Republican Party, which they succeeded in doing.
