The American people abhor a vacuum.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public.

A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues.

Let the watchwords of all our people be the old familiar watchwords of honesty, decency, fair-dealing, and commonsense."... "We must treat each man on his worth and merits as a man. We must see that each is given a square deal, because he is entitled to no more and should receive no less.""The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us.

I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people.

We can have no '50-50' allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.
