You never know when you are doing something that is affecting someone.

I think President Clinton was probably the brightest President of the 20th century.

   

It is my pleasure to support a candidate who truly reflects our values and highest ideals.

   

This Administration has led us into an area without vision. Bush has no clear understanding of what is being asked of the citizens, and the military is under his direction.

   

I honestly do not know if civil disobedience has any effect on the government. I can promise you it has a great effect on the person who chooses to do it.

   

I personally am opposed to abortion, but I will not judge anybody else's right in that regard because I am not a woman and I could never face the actual reality of it.

   

I am not the President. Instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.

   

I don't think that people in America are really given enough information about the Third World.

   

George W Bush is like a bad comic working the crowd, a moron, if you'll pardon the expression.
