I don’t want to bash Bill and Hillary, because they’re friends of mine, but I do have a difference of opinion about how to take back the House and the Senate.

War can be so impersonal yet when we put a name, a face, a place and match it to families, then war is not impersonal.

The tax code is not the only area where the administration is helping the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. It has spent $155 billion for an unnecessary war driven by fear.

In the past week it has become clear that the vote on the final healthcare bill will be very close. I take this vote with the utmost seriousness. I am quite aware of the historic fight that has lasted the better part of the last century to bring America in line with other modern democracies in providing single payer health care.

Today we’re faced with over 500 casualties, a cost of over $200 billion. And it could rise – the casualties could go into thousands and the cost could go over half a trillion – if we stay there for years.

I think we need to look for any opening we can to avoid a war and we shouldn’t pass up any opportunity for resolution.

I think it’s inconsistent to tell the American people that you oppose the war and, yet, you continue to vote to fund the war. Because every time you vote to fund the war, you’re reauthorizing the war all over again.

This is a struggle for the soul of the Democratic Party, which in too many cases has become so corporate and identified with corporate interests that you can’t tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

I am running for President of the United States to enable the Goddess of Peace to encircle within her arms all the children of this country and all the children of the world.

I don’t want to bash Bill and Hillary, because they’re friends of mine, but I do have a difference of opinion about how to take back the House and the Senate.

Iraq does not pose an imminent threat to the United States of any of its neighboring nations.

I believe sincerely that we should bring in U.N. peacekeepers and bring our troops home.

Bush is going in the wrong way. And I dare say, that is what the strategy of his administration is, is just to wipe out government’s purpose for any social and economic justice at all. And I’m going to take the country in an opposite direction than he’s taking it.

I have worked to expand the health care debate beyond the current for-profit system, to include a public option and an amendment to free the states to pursue single payer.

I believe health care is a civil right.

We have weapons of mass destruction we have to address here at home. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Unemployment is a weapon of mass destruction.

Everyone should have health insurance? I say everyone should have health care. I’m not selling insurance.
