fighting opportunity growth
Fighting climate change isn't just an obligation we owe to future generations. It's also an opportunity to improve public health - and drive economic growth - in the here and now.
polls depends
You can't depend on polls.
party believe independent
We all know that election reform takes time. That's because those who have benefited from the system are the ones who fight hardest to preserve it. So if we're going to succeed, we need an independent coalition of citizens who believe in reform, who believe that our election laws should treat every voter equally, who believe that low levels of competition and participation are not healthy for democracy. The Independence Party is helping to build that coalition and I am happy to join you in doing so.
party coffee today
Today, you're a piranha if you are seen having coffee with somebody from the other party in many cases.
hands play enemy
We would betray our values and play into our enemies' hands if we were to treat Muslims differently than anyone else. In fact, to cave to popular sentiment would be to hand a victory to the terrorists, and we should not stand for that.
each-day tongue tomorrow
There will be ups, there will be downs, there will be sideways. I can just tell you I have been hired, I have been fired, I have been lauded, I have been vilified. I've said some of the most brilliant things that just by accident appeared on my tongue, and I've said some of the dumbest things that you could imagine. But each day - even the day that I knew I was going to be fired - I looked forward to because I've always believed that tomorrow was going to be the best day of my life.
drinking people smoking
If people are not smoking, they'll probably be drinking more.
winning people should
You're going to see a million people here who have the courage to come and not let terrorists win, and that's exactly what we should all do.
progress inevitable
Progress is not inevitable. It's up to us to create it.
kings may pay
Partisanship may be King in Washington - but the rest of us don't have to pay tribute.
expectations
Buy what's deliverable, not what could be.
bridges looks gone
You know, if you look back in the 1930s, the money went to infrastructure. The bridges, the municipal buildings, the roads, those were all built with stimulus money spent on infrastructure. This stimulus bill has fundamentally gone, started out with a $500 rebate check, remember. That went to buy flat-screen TVs made in China.
waiting growth bigs
Is your company so small you have to do everything for yourself? Wait until you're so big that you can't. That's worse.
dog opposites world
One's a dog-eat-dog world, and the other one's just the opposite.
