When the Democrats were investigating the U.S. attorneys that were accused of responding to political pressure, that I joined Senator Leahy in efforts to get transparency of all of the documents.

They won't now be accused of bowing down to political pressure if they do decide to lower rates.

The fact is that we wouldn't be in Iraq if it weren't for Democrats like Senator Kerry.

Someone has to pick up the tab when people get out of repaying their own debts.

The Democrats, it seems to me, have to be careful not to overreach, not to be too partisan, not to push too far or blame Bush or the Republicans for every ill that we have to deal with in this country,

I think if Democrats would take a good look at it (the overall health spending package), a lot of Democrats would vote for it if their leadership would let them do it,
