democracy world doe
The US does not involve itself in what is happening in the world's largest democracy, nor does it intend to do so.
years starting-over people
We know that Medicare's going broke in seven years, but we need to start over.That's what the American people want us to do.
views two different
The benefit of an open town hall meeting is one that you get to hear a lot of different views, and two it has credibility.
war ambition giving
Giving peace a chance only gives Saddam Hussein more time to prepare for war on his terms, at a time of his choosing, in pursuit of ambitions that will only grow as his power to achieve them grows.
president want clinton
I'm not sure, if I were President Clinton, I wouldn't want to be pardoned for something that I believed that I didn't do.
party pro-life politics
It's impossible to imagine the Democratic Party seeking a pro-life, free-trading, non-protectionist, deficit hawk.
wise mistake believe
I believe that we're going to find out that America made a lot of mistakes diplomatically, economically, militarily, intel-wise. But, I also think we're going to find out the U.S. has done a lot of good things too.

war winning enemy
As almost anyone with war experience knows, you're never supposed to show the enemy what you won't do to win.
senior choices challenges
[Several candidates talked of problems with the federal Medicare system, particularly concerns about whether it would cover prescription drug costs in the future.] We're asking senior citizens to make a choice between their health and their income, ... Medicare is probably the most difficult challenge we face in the next century, because it has a lot to do with other things besides money.
strong character thinking
I think that when you look at the great politicians, the two greatest in my view were George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, they certainly had character traits. You also know Abraham Lincoln overcame severe depression problems that he had when he was younger, which gave him the strength and the character later on.
war ideas historical
But we have a war of ideals and ideas, and that is to sell democracy...
