“I’m very happy that we’re paying for this”

“The health of the children is extremely important”

“In the long run, maybe it’ll stop people from smoking.”

Isn’t it funny that Democrats like Harry Reid think it’s “worth it” hit poor communities disproportionately when it comes to taxes on cigarettes, and they don’t think tax cuts help those same people?

“We cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem”

“And the idea that we can keep incarcerating and keep incarcerating — pretty soon we’re not going to have a young African-American male population in America”

“They’re all going to be in prison or dead. One of the two”

How many times will John Edwards step in it before the American people say enough already?

“I like the idea of giving every baby born in America a $5,000 account that will grow over time, so that when that young person turns 18 if they have finished high school they will be able to access it to go to college or maybe they will be able to make that downpayment on their first home”

“I think it’s a wonderful idea”

“Every child born in the United States today owes $27,000 on the national debt, why not let them come get $5,000 to grow until their 18?”

That last comment is rather lame if you ask me. If every child owes $27,000 toward the national debt right now, then adding $5,000 per child to that debt is not going to help, nor is the fact that the interest on the national debt will rise exponentially faster than the interest on those cute, little adorable, baby bonds.

“It is worrisome seeing the amount of money that is being raised in this campaign”

“This is not healthy”

“This campaign should not be a fundraising contest”

“Let me tell a joke here”

“I think the politicians who are after atomic bombs, or testing them, making them, politically they are backward, retarded”

“I think President Bush has to go into a corner and hide if a Republican is going to get elected”

“There is no way he is an asset. He is a huge liability”

“He is going to have to do a big, big hiding act if a Republican is going to win”

“I always wanted to be a reporter”

“Maybe some TV. Who knows? Some serious news”

“I just don’t want to end up like Katie Couric”

“I want people to take me seriously.”

“I’m not in this race for the next step in my political career”

“I don’t have a political career, to tell you the truth”

“I haven’t been uniformly successful — I’ve tried to be successful — but I believe that experience will be helpful to America”

“We’re changing our policy with respect to getting more people out of shadows and into the system so people don’t hide they’re here”

“As long as I’m governor we won’t pretend they don’t exist, cut them off from society”

“I don’t think if you’re here illegally you should have the same privileges people who are here legally do”

To those who think this will make a difference… Just because they get a driver’s license doesn’t mean there will be fewer accidents or that they will purchase insurance before driving.

“People say a lot of things about me”

“I really don’t pay any attention to it”

“It’s not true”

“People will say what they want to say.”
