I Think The United States Is Still

The Race For The White House Should Be About Leadership, And Leadership Requires That One Help Heal The Wounds Of Vietnam, Not Reopen Them.

I Know There Are A Lot Of Musicians And A Lot Of Artists, And There Are A Lot Of Writers And Other People Who Inspire Young People, But I'd Like To See Somebody In Political Life Be Able To Connect And Make These Choices That We Need To Make In Washington Real In Terms Of People's Lives.

I Think That For Many Of Us, The Years Of The Civil Rights Movements - Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy Running For President In 1968 To End The War And So Forth - These Were Defining Moment In Terms Of Trying To Hold Government Accountable And Have A Level Of Responsibility And Truth-telling.

I Will Be Voting To Give The President Of The United States The Authority To Use Force-- If Necessary-- To Disarm Saddam Hussein Because I Believe That A Deadly Arsenal Of Weapons Of Mass Destruction In His Hands Is A Real And Grave Threat To Our Security.

We Need A Leader Who Has A Sense Of Balance, An Understanding Of The Ebb And Flow Of History And A Sense Of Our Country's Unique Place In It. This Is A Foreign Policy Debate, And You Cannot Conduct Foreign Policy Without A Sense Of What We Are Fighting For. And Any President Who Can Reduce The Conduct Of This Country's Affairs To A Morning's Attack By A Bunch Of Demented Fascists Does Not, In My View, Understand What This Great Nation Is All About.
