There has been a fundamental change in the paradigm of politics today. I don't think Republicans even realize this.

As some House Republicans tell it, their vote today to change party rules was not just about protecting Tom DeLay. They say it was about taking power away from a Democratic prosecutor who they believe may be eager to indict their majority leader.

Have you ever wondered why Republicans are so interested in encouraging people to volunteer in their communities? It’s because volunteers work for no pay. Republicans have been trying to get people to work for no pay for a long time.

Republicans don't like people to talk about depressions. You can hardly blame them for that. You remember the old saying: Don't talk about rope in the house where somebody has been hanged.

I don't hate Republicans as individuals. But I hate what the Republicans are doing to this country. I really do.

The Republicans believe in the minimum wage -- the more the minimum, the better.
