I Wrestled And Played Football In High School And In My Last Year, I Started As A Wrestler And Actually Had A Fairly Good Record. But I Hated To Lose. I Always Gave It Everything I Had Which, Unfortunately, Was Not As Much As I'd Hoped For. But Keep In Mind, I Feel Like I Got The Most Out Of My Ability. One Moment That Was Special Above All The Rest Was Winning My Last Bout At The Naval Academy To Finish The Entire Summer Undefeated. That Was Thrilling, But What's More, It Helped Me In Prison Because The First Time I Got Knocked Around By The Vietnamese, It Did Not Come As A Total Shock.

The Russians Are Succeeding In Continuing Their Dismemberment Of Ukraine, They're Succeeding In Exerting Enormous Influence In The Middle East, Which They Never Had Before. They Are Succeeding - They Have Succeeded In Interfering With Our Election, And We Know That They Continue That In The French Elections And Other Elections.

We Know That This Nation Entered Into Solemn Treaties [with Indian Tribes] Which Have Been Continuously Violated For More Than 250 Years. It's A Disgrace. It's An Outrage. We Must Do Everything In Our Power To Keep Those Treaties. Otherwise, The Word Of The United States Government Is No Good.

I Disagree With What The Majority Of The American People Want.

The Day That The Leadership Of The Military Comes To Me And Says, "senator, We Ought To Change The Policy," Then I Think We Ought To Consider Seriously Changing It.

I Observed A Thousand Acts Of Courage, Compassion And Love [as A Pow] And I Will Always Treasure That Memory Above All Others.

That's Give [donald Trump] So Much Attention. And It's So Funny. There Actually Have Conflicting Opinions On Women In Combat, In The Military. So They Have All The Issues That Stake. I'm More Concerned With The Va Than Anything Else.

We Were Pleased To Hear The President State His Firm Commitment That He Will Do Whatever Is Necessary To Accomplish This Important Goal.

I Don't Doubt The Sincerity Of My Democratic Friends. And They Should Not Doubt Ours.

Let Me Say That No One Has Supported President Bush On Iraq More Than I Have.

I Didn't Decide To Run For President To Start A National Crusade For The Political Reforms I Believed In, Or To Run A Campaign As If It Were Some Grand Act Of Patriotism. In Truth, I Wanted To Be President Because It Had Become My Ambition To Be President.

If The United States Had Not Intervened In Afghanistan, Then Obviously, We Would Have Then Allowed The Attacks Of 9/11 To Go Unanswered. I Don't Think Most Of Americans Wanted That To Happen.

To Equate Vladimir Putin And The United States Of America, As Donald Trump Was Asked, You Know, I Guess It Was Bill O'reilly Who Said, "but Putin Is A Killer." And He Basically Said, "so Are We."

I Am Confident, With The Leadership And The Backing Of The American People, President Obama Will Turn This Country Around.

That He Was An Unusually Open, Honest And No-nonsense Politician Did Not Make Him Unsuited For The Profession, Only Uncommon.

I Have Known Trent Lott For 20 Years, ... I Don't Believe He's Racist. But He Must Proactively Send A Message To His Colleagues In The Senate And The American People That He Is Absolutely Opposed To Any Segregation In Any Form And Racism In Any Form And Discrimination In Any Form.

I'm Not Sure, If I Were President Clinton, I Wouldn't Want To Be Pardoned For Something That I Believed That I Didn't Do.

I Think That When You Look At The Great Politicians, The Two Greatest In My View Were George Washington And Abraham Lincoln, They Certainly Had Character Traits.

Inexperience Because Of (president Barack) Obama's Inexperience.look That Would Be One Of The Challenges.

Well, I Don't Think It Is Amnesty To Start With. Second Of All, What Do You Want To Do With Them? That Is The Question In Response. And Third Of All, It Is A Tough Path To Citizenship.

You've Got To Get To The Back Of The Line Behind Other People Who Have Come Here Legally Or Waiting Legally. So, I Just Reject That.

This Is What Investors Do In Free Enterprise And Capitalism System. [...[ And, Yes, Free Enterprise System Can Be Cruel.

I've Lost Confidence That He Has Any Understanding Of The National Security Responsibilities Of A President... [b]ecause I Don't Believe That He Has Any Understanding Of The International Role That The United States Has To Play In The World. I Think It's A Kind Of A Pseudo-isolationism That Appeals To The Base Of The Caucus Voters. I Do Not Believe That Particularly In The Case Of Iraq That Governor Dean Has Any Fundamental Understanding Of What's At Stake Here.

Do We Really Want Another Politician In The White House America Can't Trust?

The Iranians Have A Lousy Government, So Therefore Their Economy Is Lousy, Even Though They Have Significant Oil Revenues. So I Am Convinced That Together, We Can, With The French, With The British, With The Germans And Other Countries, Democracies Around The World, We Can Affect Iranian Behavior. But Have No Doubt, But Have No Doubt That The Iranians Continue On The Path To The Acquisition Of A Nuclear Weapon. And It Is A Threat Not Only In This Region But Around The World.

3 "amnesty" Didn't Mean Rewarding Illegal Behavior.

Being Chairman Of The Senate Commerce Committee Is Like Being A Mosquito In A Nudist Colony.

I Think That It Has To Be A Very Humane Approach To This Issue, And We Have To Come Up With Solutions To It. But We Also Have To Do Something About The Drugs That Are Coming Across Our Southern Border That Are Killing Our Kids...

We Have Many Advantages In The Fight Against Global Warming, But Time Is Not One Of Them. Instead Of Idly Debating The Precise Extent Of Global Warming, Or The Precise Timeline Of Global Warming, We Need To Deal With The Central Facts Of Rising Temperatures, Rising Waters, And All The Endless Troubles That Global Warming Will Bring. We Stand Warned By Serious And Credible Scientists Across The World That Time Is Short And The Dangers Are Great. The Most Relevant Question Now Is Whether Our Own Government Is Equal To The Challenge.

I Am Learning To Get Online Myself, And I Will Have That Down Fairly Soon, Getting On Myself. I Don’t Expect To Be A Great Communicator, I Don’t Expect To Set Up My Own Blog, But I Am Becoming Computer Literate To The Point Where I Can Get The Information That I Need.

And I Got Plans To Reduce And Eliminate Unnecessary And Wasteful Spending And If There's Anybody Here Who Thinks There Aren't Agencies Of Government Where Spending Can Be Cut And Their Budgets Slashed They Have Not Spent A Lot Of Time In Washington.

The First Thing We Have To Do Is Get Spending Under Control In Washington. It's Completely Out Of Control. We Republicans Came To Power To Change Government, And Government Changed Us.

Future Generations - My Children And Grandchildren, Along With Yours - Will Have To Live With The Decisions We Make Today. And So It Is Time For Us To Make Some Tough And - Hopefully - Smart Choices Regarding Our Energy Use And Production Before It Is Too Late.

[vladimir] Putin Supporting Bashar Al-assad, Helping With The Syrian Refugee Crisis And, I Think For Any Republican, He [donald Trump] Has Got To Stop Saying This, Because I Was With Him. I Was With Him And He Said That, It Was Like, I'm Out. I'm Out. It's Too Crazy.
