If a senator calls me up and asks me what should we do in Iraq, I'm happy to talk to him.
Most recently, the President's reluctance to offend Senator Rick Santorum -- a Catholic theocrat who believes that states should have the power to arrest gay lovers in their bedrooms, or even to criminalize couples who use contraceptives -- was an occasion to wonder what, exactly, Mr. Bush was born-again into.
When Hillary Clinton was a U. S. senator, she voted for some trade deals when they met her standards, but she voted against others when they didn't.
I want to congratulate Senator [Bernie] Sanders for the extraordinary campaign. . . . He has spent his long career in public service, fighting for progressive causes and principles, and he has excited millions of voters, especially young people.
The fact is that we wouldn't be in Iraq if it weren't for Democrats like Senator Kerry.
No doubt that he will make an excellent senator.
I'm not saying Senator Mitchell's report is entirely wrong. I am saying Brian McNamee's statements about me are wrong. Let me be clear: I have never taken steroids or HGH.

I never thought I would end up being the Senator from New York.
Senator Obama voted against Justice Breyer and Justice Roberts on the grounds that they didn't meet his ideological standards. That's not the way we should judge these nominees. Elections have consequences.
Senator, my answer is that the independence and integrity of the Supreme Court requires that nominees before this committee for a position on that court not forecast, give predictions, give hints, about how they might rule in cases that might come before the Supreme Court,.
As a governor and senator, John Chafee set the standard for honesty and decency that the rest of us on our best days could only dream to emulate.
Senator Graham would have been very difficult to beat. He'd been governor for two terms. He's a U. S. Senator. He has a lot of friends; he's done a lot of favors to help a lot of people in Florida. So the fact that he's not running really does change the whole landscape in Florida.
A brilliant author or businesswoman or senator or software engineer is brilliant only in tiny bursts. The rest of the time, they’re doing work that most any trained person could do.
