Quotable ... From the DNC

I almost sent them a thank-you note for my tax cuts, until I realized the rest of you were paying the bill for it.
-- Former President Bill Clinton

A good reminder for the job that lies ahead in changing directions in this country is right on the dashboard of your cars. 'R' is for reverse. And 'D' is for drive. America, we must get out of reverse and move into drive.
-- US Representative Corrine Browne

Americans are proud, not petty. Instead of dividing the world, we must unite it. Instead of bullying, we must build. Instead of walking alone, we must lead. it's only leadership if others follow.
-- US Senator Joseph Biden

The tragic irony is that while the president proclaims the goal of building a democracy in Iraq, democratically eligible voters in America are still illegally being purged from voting rolls and stripped of their constitutional rights. Before we say anything else about protecting democracy in Baghdad, let's make sure we protect democracy at home.
-- Kweisi Mfume, NAACP President

My only hope is that, one day soon, women -- who have all earned the right to their opinions -- instead of being labeled opinionated, will be called smart or well-informed, just as men are.
-- Teresa Heinz Kerry

I will bring back this nation's time-honored tradition: the United States of America never goes to war because we want to, we only go to war because we have to.
-- Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry
