Solidarity is the basis of my politics.

Politics requires the sense of possibility. Dare I say it - the audacity of hope.

We are above and beyond all politics, all parties and all factions; offending nobody - except the anti-Irishman.

It fits into his general framework of, 'I care less about the politics than in policy that makes sense'. I think that that's the image I have of him. That's the image he'd like voters to have of him.

If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own-which it is-and render impassable with our bodies the corridors to the gas chamber. For if they come for you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.
