Al Gore

Is the objection in writing and signed by a member of the House and a senator?

Congresswoman

The objection is in writing, and I don't care that it is not signed by a member of the Senate.

Al Gore

The chair will advise that the rules do care...and the signature of a senator...

Barry Reingold

Someone said, "Bin Laden's a real asshole for murdering those people." And I said, "Yeah, that's true. But he'll never be as big an asshole as Bush, who bombs all over the world for oil profits."

Look at the neighborhood I live in. Most of them are abandoned. You know, I mean... that's not right. You wanna talk about terrorism? Come right here. President Bush, right here. Come right here. He knows about this corner. I e-mailed him.

We had some airplanes authorized at the highest levels of our government to fly to pick up Osama Bin Laden's family members and others from Saudi Arabia and transport them out of this country.

It turns out that the White House approved planes to pick up the bin Ladens and numerous other Saudis. At least six private jets and nearly two dozen commercial planes carried the Saudis and the Bin Ladens out of the U.S. after September 13th. In all, 142 Saudis, including 24 members of the bin Laden family, were allowed to leave the country.

My mother used to tell me all the time: "Why do you always go for the underdog?" It was because the underdog is who needed me. People that don't have anything, that's who I have to fight for. And that's who I have fought for my entire life.

Lila Lipscomb

The ignorance of everyday people killed my son.

Britney Spears

I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that.

Young male in Michigan

...I was watching TV one day, and they're showing like some of the buildings and areas that had been hit by bombs and things like that, and while I was watching I got to thinking, like "there's parts of Flint that look like that," and we ain't been in a war.
