Yes +967 With decent and affordable healthcare for all working families. No +12076 "And if I'm elected president, I will do something about that." No +12565 We must have a great goal. No +13678 "Let me remind you it was a Democratic tax increase, and I didn't want to do it and I went along with it." Yes +22137 "See, for 45 years we were preoccupied with the Red Army." Yes +9317 But that's not what you've done in the last four years. No +13679 And I said I make a mistake. No +5538 "You were going to put him in a higher tax bracket which was going to increase his taxes, which was going to cause him not to be able to employ people, which Joe was trying to realize the American dream." No +32209 "Look, we are in a situation in our country where if we were to start all over again, we might come up with a different system." No +12967 That was more than we had offered to all of Africa before from the federal government. Yes +17211 "And on that basis and that basis alone, we make a decision on every issue." No +2912 "We've seen uh - in the past the destruction of elected governments, like in Chile, and the strong support of military dictatorship there." Yes +6774 What is an article of faith for me is not something that I can legislate on somebody who doesn't share that article of faith. No +28061 "And this particular bill, it allows patients to choose a doctor, their own doctor if they want to." Yes +32432 And the reason they blame Russia because they think they're trying to tarnish me with Russia. No +29403 She's going to raise taxes $1.3 trillion. Yes +1008 I don't think that uh - America can go on a big spending spree with a whole lot of new programs uh - that would add significantly to the federal budget. No +21405 The American people asked me to get into it. No +19350 That's why I reach out to the Perot voters. No +18292 "Some people don't like the fact that I stood up to say no, but I did." No +3773 We have to obviously cut spending. No +32404 "We have never in the history of our country been in a situation where an adversary, a foreign power, is working so hard to influence the outcome of the election." Yes +18815 We're the leading donor in the world to help the suffering people there. Yes +34073 "You know, President Obama said the other day when you're whining before the game is even finished..." No +18597 "I reject this notion -- and I'm suggesting my opponent isn't -- I reject the notion that some say that if you're Muslim you can't free, you don't desire freedom." No +5852 And what is important is making sure that we disagree without being disagreeable. No +15359 "Obviously, no President wants war, and I certainly do not believe that Governor Reagan, if he were President, would want war, but a President in the Oval Office has to make a judgment on almost a daily basis about how to exercise the enormous power of our country for peace, through diplomacy, or in a careless way in a belligerent attitude which has exemplified his attitudes in the past." No +10868 "We can move forward, and clean up our climate, and develop green technologies, and alternate -- alternative energies for -- for hybrid, for hydrogen, for battery-powered cars, so that we can clean up our environment and at the same time get our economy going by creating millions of jobs." No +8663 But I want to answer as specifically as I can the question that you have just put to me. No +13740 The people who have jobs and educations and opportunities that didn't have them 10 years ago don't think it's irrelevant at all; they think it's highly relevant and they wish the rest of the country had them. No +22566 So I complain about that. No +20997 But it's not good enough. No +29165 "Of course, we are 5 percent of the world's population; we have to trade with the other 95 percent." No +9076 Do you think that our political institutions are working the way they should when literally only half of our citizens vote? Yes +19490 And this is a safer country. No +12572 "Mr. Howe, Mr. Vice President." No +22145 I'll close on this point. No +24987 And I think that perhaps we established a little better understanding. No +7695 Everyone who does business with the government should have the opportunity to make sure that they do not practice discrimination in their hiring. No +33501 I find that just absolutely... No +25989 "Nobody should smoke, young or old, but particularly young people should not smoke, but my record is there." No +9280 "But what we don't need is to have the president keeping us from taking advantage of oil, coal and gas." No +17010 We need a president who can go in - who derives his strength from the people. No +25611 "When you make that judgment, you are deciding not only the future of our nation; in a very profound respect, you're deciding the future of the world." No +28998 Because the trillion dollars that has been promised to young people has also been promised to older people. Yes +33268 "I have met with women who toward the end of their pregnancy get the worst news one could get, that their health is in jeopardy if they continue to carry to term or that something terrible has happened or just been discovered about the pregnancy." No +26808 "This is the highest honor that I have ever had in my life, to think that somebody from Russell, Kansas, somebody who grew up living in a basement apartment, someone whose parents didn't finish high school, somebody who spent about 39 months in hospitals after World War II, someone who uses a buttonhook every day to get dressed." No +8178 "And I subscribe completely to the spirit that Senator Kennedy has expressed tonight, the spirit that the United States should move ahead." No +6092 It is not and I just described it... No +20798 Take for example the marriage penalty. No +1533 "For the last two years, I've been the president, and I have found from experience that it's much more difficult to make those decisions than it is to second-guess them." No +20106 I said we'd get tougher with child support and child support enforcement's up 50 percent. Yes +20822 A charter school run by some people from Teach For America. No +18265 The only building that was guarded when the troops when into Baghdad was the oil ministry. Yes +4112 This is one of your own advisers. No +16191 But I'm not going to do that. No +24338 "And so, we've got a good military." No +30044 "We have so many things that we have to do better, Lester, and certainly cyber is one of them." No +25432 But when you keep star-warring it -- I never suggested where the weapons should be or what kind; I'm not a scientist. No +23432 You own your own account. No +15043 To involve them in the administration of government and the feeling that they belong to the societal structure that makes decisions in the judiciary and in the executive branch is a very important commitment which I am trying to realize and will continue to do so in the future. No +28296 "It's ironic that there are now -- there is now a smaller percentage of the voters made up of parents with children than ever in American history because of the aging of our population, but at the same time we've got the largest generation of students in public schools ever." Yes +25895 But -- and I think the United States can do whatever we reasonably can. No +19136 "Well, Jim, I believe that the Federal government should give people the tools and try to establish the conditions in which they can make the most of their own lives." No +19935 I remember talking by the telephone. No +20511 The main issue is whether or not the Roe v. Wade decision is going to be overturned. No +21494 I've been disturbed by the tone and the tenor of this campaign. No +2276 You can't have a free market work if you don't have regulation. No +9078 "And therefore, I think you ought to consider doing something about it, and voting for an Independent in 1980." No +12109 Secondly -- and they're good. No +27495 "But over time, what they can do is regain credibility." No +693 "No, there's been no change of heart." No +24032 Because of our programs we have been able to significantly cut defense spending. Yes +15181 "I am talking of taking the treaty back, and going back into negotiations." No +28760 They look at Washington and see people pointing fingers and casting blame and saying one thing and doing another. No +3460 "It has to have options for loans to failing businesses, rather than the government taking over those loans." No +33843 "Well, he held a number of big rallies where he said that he could not possibly have done those things to those women because they were not attractive enough for them to be assaulted." Yes +33388 There are some limited places where that was appropriate. No +13927 We cannot lose those jobs. No +19667 And they said no because they got a memo from one of their political advisers saying that instead they should characterize whatever we did as big government and make sure nothing was done to aid healthcare before the '94 elections so they could make that claim. No +23311 "Well, first of all, the president's figures of $2.2 trillion just aren't accurate." Yes +21359 Because the deficit now has been building up for 12 years. Yes +31994 But it is things that people say. No +16081 "So I'm not going to begin, and I'm not going to go to entitlements as a means for cutting that deficit when we're spending billions on something like Star Wars, when we're spending billions on other weapon systems which apparently the Vice President wants to keep in his back pocket or some place, but which, if we continue to spend billions on them, will force us to cut Social Security, to cut Medicare, to cut these basic entitlements to people of very, very modest means." No +27234 And we've got to make sure that we reduce our deficit. No +7413 "And I think the hug Tom Daschle gave him at that moment was about as genuine a sense of there being no Democrats, no Republicans, we were all just Americans." No +18570 You've got to show you're serious in that regard. No +4096 That will change when I'm president of the United States. No +14869 "Now, Gerald Ford left a five-year projected plan for a military build-up to restore our defenses, and President Carter's administration reduced that by 38%, cut 60 ships out of the Navy building program that had been proposed, and stopped the the B-l, delayed the cruise missile, stopped the production line for the Minuteman missile, stopped the Trident or delayed the Trident submarine, and now is planning a mobile military force that can be delivered to various spots in the world which does make me question his assaults on whether I am the one who is quick to look for use of force." Yes +15467 "And it would be one to take Government off the backs of the great people of this country, and turn you loose again to do those things that I know you can do so well, because you did them and made this country great." No +27701 "No, they haven't had talks in two years." No +32721 Let me tell you something. No +20647 Morale in today's military is too low. No +7678 "These are the questions in these areas that the North and South, East and West are entitled to know." No +16497 "And from the a- analysis that I've made so far, it seems to me that that tax bill does uh - justify my signature and my approval." No +25261 "Very early in my administration I proposed -- and I think something that had never been proposed by any previous administration -- I proposed a total elimination of intermediate-range missiles, where the Soviets had better than a 10 -- and still have -- better than a 10-to-1 advantage over the allies in Europe." Yes +24060 Let me make one other point. No +19212 That's what I want to focus on. No +12234 "If we take the leadership role and build the new technologies, like the new kinds of cars and trucks that Detroit is itching to build, then we can create millions of good new jobs by being first into the market with these new kinds of cars and trucks and other kinds of technologies." No +21064 And the interest savings I would put right back into Social Security. No +30083 "And the only way that American troops could have stayed in Iraq is to get an agreement from the then-Iraqi government that would have protected our troops, and the Iraqi government would not give that." No +1765 "Mr. President, all of the increase in natural gas and oil has happened on private land, not on government land." Yes +34241 "Well, Aleppo is a disaster." No +17599 "If you got the Government down to the lowest level, that you yourself could say it could not go any lower and still perform the services for the people, and if the recovery was so complete that you knew you were getting the ultimate amount of revenues that you could get through that growth, and there was still some slight difference there between those two lines, then I had said once that, yes, you would have to then look to see if taxes should not be adjusted." No +6752 "I think if you talk to anybody, it's not choice." No +27300 And our eighth graders number one in English and also in math. Yes +27555 And I saw families there who showed me there where missiles had come down near their children's bedrooms. No +1503 "And today, we have about five hundred Georgians at their own expense - just working people who believe in me - spread around the country uh - involved in the political campaign." Yes +25295 And one of those dreams is justice. No +89 I asked for and received the same briefing. No +18210 "But again, I repeat to my fellow citizens, the best way to protection is to stay on the offense." No +19331 "Small businessmen and businesswomen who paid 70 percent of your ninteen , your$265 billion tax increase, the largest tax increase in the history of America." Yes +3987 "Now, I think that's the right strategy; I think that's the right policy." No +8082 The Democratic party in this century has stood for something. No +23165 "Mr. President, you're batting 0 for 2." No +6507 We're on the hunt after Osama bin Laden. No +15895 "Thanks to the miraculous sacrifice of doctors and nurses, the child stayed alive for six months and then died." No +16247 There will be no more debates. No +25589 But a President must also have a vision of where this nation should go. No +11790 "But take Russia, for example." No +12460 "I choose education and health care, the environment and retirement security, and I ask for your support." No +27413 "And, you know, we visited the website quite a bit and it still doesn't work." No +1883 I don't want to cost jobs. No +19802 "We need a strong economic package; we need a tax cut; we need the $500 child credit, and we'll have that soon." No +22874 It's a great question about Iran. No +12856 "I think if we had stuck by that position last winter, we would have been in a better position in May." No +18460 I decided the right action was in Iraq. No +26443 It didn't look good the first two years when we had a Democratic president and  Democratic Congress. No +19261 "We ought to do that, then we can have a commission." No +6231 "The fact is that there was already a law on the books in Illinois that required providing lifesaving treatment, which is why not only myself but pro-choice Republicans and Democrats voted against it." Yes +29273 "The Obama administration, from the time they've come in, is over 230 years' worth of debt, and he's topped it." Yes +33944 I was at a little Haiti the other day in Florida. No +8486 It was because they were too extreme. No +17983 We pursued Al Qaida wherever Al Qaida tries to hide. No +13963 "You know, Mr. Bush was very grateful when I was among the Democrats who said he ought to have the authority to negotiate an agreement with Mexico." Yes +21916 But I have lived the American dream. No +10774 "To giving every American a $5,000 refundable tax credit and go out and get the health insurance you want rather than mandates and fines for small businesses, as Senator Obama's plan calls for." Yes +3361 Or world where people have enough to eat and a world where we care about those who don't? No +13602 "On this, as on so many other issues, I have a fundamental difference from the present administration." Yes +12132 So it is a priority for me. No +11012 "Everybody goes to Delaware, because they've got very -- pretty loose laws when it comes to things like credit cards." Yes +27145 "And we have put significant pressure on them to make sure they're doing that; to recognize the rights of women, which is critical throughout the region." Yes +703 You're cutting back on maintenance and equipment. No +12190 According to his own numbers. No +18672 "And, yes, he would have been stronger had we not dealt with him." No +20341 "Under the governor's plan, if you kept the same fee for service that you have now under Medicare, your premiums would go up by between 18% and 47%, and that is the study of the Congressional plan that he's modeled his proposal on by the Medicare actuaries." Yes +24217 We've got the plan announced for what we can do for small business. No +26512 "Now whether or not he'll do that again I've heard some of the people say, well, that's the model we ought to use and if he's reelected maybe he will come back and try it again." No +18621 I would hope I never have to. No +15127 "I have never made the statement that he suggested about nuclear proliferation and nuclear proliferation, or the trying to halt it, would be a major part of a foreign policy of mine." Yes +24805 That's Washington in a nutshell right there. No +24504 "I'll tell the American people, but this man said I'll get you a million dollars a day in pro bono advertising, something that's very hard for the government to do." No +28424 "Hey, I've got to answer that, Jim." No +26691 There is not a simple answer. No +19443 I don't think that means you're soft on drugs. No +18605 "The national intelligence assessment that was given to the president in July said, best-case scenario, more of the same of what we see today; worst-case scenario, civil war." Yes +11035 Senator Obama was wrong about Iraq and the surge. No +20043 "You know, so one of your liberal friends." No +17910 That's not fair for our future. No +12516 How can we extend freedom - extend it without war? No +2429 "So for those reasons, for the tax, for Medicare, for this board, and for people losing their insurance, this is why the American people don't want Medicare -- don't want Obamacare." Yes +30022 "I mean, it could be Russia, but it could also be China." No +23330 And so people are going to have to look at the record. No +12605 If there's one thing Africa needs it's technical assistance. No +16479 "In the budget that I submitted to the Congress in January this year, I re- recommended a 50 percent cutback in the rate of growth of federal spending." Yes +24813 We owe you a debt we can never repay you. No +19657 The President held it up. Yes +12156 There is now a federal judge's opinion about the current management of this program ordering the State of Texas to do -- you should read that judge's language about this. No +14438 "Come on, that's not leadership." No +30094 "So we've got to do everything we can to vacuum up intelligence from Europe, from the Middle East." No +16601 We also need to have a great reduction in agencies and programs. No +12104 "For those what I think we need to do is to develop an investment-type vehicle that would be an incentive for them to invest, like medical savings accounts with rollover capacity." No +8998 "Now, I have thought for a long time that too many of our churches have been too reluctant to speak up in behalf of what they believe is proper in Government, and they have been too too lax in interfering, in recent years, with Government's invasion of the family itself, putting itself between parent and child." No +11435 "If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us." No +34214 Which is a big mistake. No +18268 We didn't guard the borders. No +1015 "overlapping, aren't those the real costs?"

No +16993 And it's a time for government to understand and to cooperate with our people. No +10028 You don't turn national security into a political issue. No +25755 "I think we have a real obligation, obviously public officials." No +6397 And that's why I'm sure that our brighter days are still ahead. No +514 I know what strong political leadership is. No +13695 But in almost every category they're lagging. Yes +29610 And the reason I say that is not in a braggadocios way. No +20906 The voluntary national testing is in addition to the mandatory testing that we require of states. No +634 "I didn't hear, John, exactly where he was going to cut and what he was going to do." No +23688 And the biggest threat facing America is terrorists with weapons of mass destruction.

No +24054 "But 2 former defense secretaries recently issued a report saying that 100,000 or slightly fewer troops would be enough, including President Reagan's former defense secretary, Mr. Carlucci."

No +9224 "You can invest in a company, bankrupt it, lay off the workers, strip away their pensions, and you still make money." No +19718 Senator Dole has two or three times before tonight criticized me for working with the U.N. Now I'm being criticized for not working with the U.N.

No +23678 "And in a war, there's a lot of -- there's a lot of tactical decisions that historians will look back and say: He shouldn't have done that." No +14453 We also want to say that insofar as is humanly possible the banking industry itself should pay for the cost of any bank failures; the taxpayers should not. No +27952 And I've got a different vision for America. No +11545 "I called upon the Congress not to hamstring the administration, and in terms of forcing troop withdrawals on a timetable that wasn't necessarily in our best interest or fit our nation's strategy, and so I think it's good public policy, I think it worked, and I'm pleased I took -- made the decision I made." No +3315 I believe that the boycott of American businesses by the Arab countries because those businesses trade with Israel or because they have American Jews who are owners or directors in the company is an absolute disgrace.

No +16905 Supposing we had - had a Democratic Congress for the last two years and we'd had uh - Governor Carter as President. No +19056 We've climbed the mighty mountain. No +24521 "We've got chemical warfare being conducted against our children on the streets in this country all day every day, and we don't have the will to stamp it out." No +13264 Because they know as Senator Kennedy will have to know that if you do that you encourage them to more aggression. No +26554 There was a big story I think in U.S.A. Today of the millions of people who have now registered because of it. Yes +27698 "Is -- is al-Qaida on the run, on its heels?" No +21823 "Now, let me say, some people say we can't do this but Hawaii does it." No +29894 So I'm satisfied with it. No +11738 "And, you know, we can't be -- we can't allow ourselves to get overextended." No +4246 That made no sense whatsoever. No +20553 It's very clear to me. No +33845 I did not say that. Yes +32119 "I know you're into big diversion tonight, anything to avoid talking about your campaign and the way it's exploding and the way Republicans are leaving you." Yes +23162 "But look, what's really important, Charlie, is the president is just trying to scare everybody here with throwing labels around."

No +15415 "Also, I want to thank the people of Cleveland and Ohio for being such hospitable hosts during these last few hours in my life." No +318 And nobody's going to question my patriotism as the vice president has now repeatedly. No +32266 Muslims have to report the problems when they see them. No +26674 "When you give us access, we'll give you access.""" No +8225 "Here again, may I indicate that Senator Kennedy and I are not in disagreement as to the aims." No +2248 Is that a -- is that a separate topic? No +29006 "You know, it's not a bank account that just pays back money that's invested." No +17796 "It is working, and we're going to continue on that same line." Yes +22135 We have to have money to do that. No +13835 "The thing that I am in this race for is to tap the American people on the shoulder and to say to every single one of you, fix it while we're still relatively strong." No +267 That was what he said. No +2451 "Now, so what this board does is basically identifies best practices and says, let's use the purchasing power of Medicare and Medicaid to help to institutionalize all these good things that we do." No +7152 "And if we did that, we'd have more consumption ability in America, which is what we need right now in order to kick our economy into gear." No +17426 I hadn't gotten around to reregistering as yet. No +26322 The President doesn't have any ideas so he's out trashing ours. No +8695 "I say that because I think, this year, we will send $90 billion out of this country to pay for imported oil, even though that." No +23762 "I'm an optimist, but we have to make the right choices, to be fiscally responsible and to create the new jobs of the future." No +21625 This is not mud slinging. No +24902 "To do that we need a three-pronged attack: one is military assistance to our friends who are being pressured; secondly, a strong and sophisticated economic aid program and human rights program that offers a better life and a sharper alternative to the alternative offered by the totalitarians who oppose us; and finally, a strong diplomatic effort that pursues the possibilities of peace in the area." No +18320 The Arab countries have a stake in not having a civil war. No +12759 Now Senator Kennedy has referred to the vote on Communist China. No +6342 Sarah Palin knows about that better than most. No +2240 And that's why they were supportive of the approach that we took. No +28538 "But let me just tell you my position on guns in general, sir, if you don't mind." No +911 And thanks to the Congress we now have an agricultural credit bill which is helping and improving the situation with at least some of our farmers. Yes +19289 "Well, here's the problem with it: It sounds very good, but there's a reason that 500 economists, including seven Nobel prize winners and business periodicals like Business Week, and even Senator Dole's friends, Senator Warren Rudman, former Republican senator from New Hampshire, says it's not a practical program." Yes +22274 "At the end of the first day, that little child wants out." No +17240 "And so, we made a proposal." No +30123 "And about four months ago, I read on the front page of the Wall Street Journal that NATO is opening up a major terror division." Yes +26317 I'm going to keep my word to you. No +26147 "That's why most experts say that this tax scheme will blow a huge hole in the deficit, raise interest rates and weaken the economy and that will take away all the benefits of the tax cut with a weaker economy." Yes +7968 What I criticized were the policies that made it necessary to go to Korea. Yes +642 "I'm for the Stealth, I'm for the D-5, I'm for going ahead with the advance Cruise missile." No +14740 And may God bless the US of America. No +31843 I have a very positive and optimistic view about what we can do together. No +2998 Under the last Democratic administration 60 percent of all weapons that went into the Middle East were for Israel. Yes +14842 "The fact is that this nation, in the eight years before I became President, had its own military strength decreased." Yes +27341 "As a governor, I thought please, give me this program." No +24862 I hope I've earned your trust because a lot of being president is about trust and character. No +1909 My plan is not to put in place any tax cut that will add to the deficit. No +23345 "What happens in those forests, because of lousy federal policy, is they grow to be -- they are not -- they're not harvested." Yes +2525 "Make up a number, $25,000, $50,000." No +23459 "The president got $84 from a timber company that owns, and he's counted as a small business."

Yes +26132 "It's a good idea, they saw it, they picked it up and put it in theirs, but it's only temporary." No +23031 And that's why the FDA and that's why the surgeon general are looking very carefully to make sure it can be done in a safe way. No +27658 So those are the kinds of things that we can now do because we're making that transition in Afghanistan. No +7706 They set a low standard of materialism. No +29139 "With the United States, as he said, not so much." No +14571 But I can tell you this. No +26040 We need to reform it.

No +23656 "And because they didn't have a judicial intervention where she could go somewhere and get help, I voted against it." Yes +19273 "Now, maybe to some in this Bushnell Memorial that it's not a lot of money, but people watching tonight with a couple of kids, a working family, that's four or five months of day care, maybe a personal computer; it's may be three or four months of mortgage payments."

No +9235 "... and the rest of the answer, way off the mark." No +8848 "If they had that money without those government restrictions, every one of them has told me they could make great savings and make far greater use of the money."

No +14597 "Lock your wallet because he's coming right after you just like Jimmy Carter did and just like you're going to get -- you're going to end up with interest rates at 21%, and you're going to have inflation going through the roof." Yes +21458 It's so heavy they'd give you a broken back. No +23023 And that's what's happening in Afghanistan and Iraq. No +29541 I will tell you this. No +14450 The banking system in this country is fundamentally sound with some weak banks. Yes +2145 "So my approach is to say, how do we strengthen the system over the long term?" No +29035 I have spent the last quarter century fighting for middle-class working men and women in the United States of America.

No +24002 So we've got to really rebuild our job base. No +31859 And my whole concept was to make America great again. No +23246 "After 9/11, after the recession had ended, the president asked for another tax cut and promised 5.6 million jobs would be created." Yes +29664 But I take advantage of the laws of the nation because I'm running a company. No +3751 "It seems to me that if we're going to be strong at home as well as strong abroad, that we have to look at bringing that war to a close." No +7997 And they're not getting in many cases adequate shelter. No +28993 I'm going to bring them together. No +29613 Our airports are like from a third world country. No +29445 "It's probably $5 trillion that we can't bring into our country, Lester." Yes +33067 "So I have a comprehensive energy policy, but it really does include fighting climate change, because I think that is a serious problem."

Yes +8873 "We call, first of all, for the creation of a $4 billion urban reinvestment trust fund to do exactly what you spoke about in your question - to rebuild the streets, to rebuild the cities, the leaking water mains." No +12401 And I'm going to try to do better. No +25168 "But we're not going to simply kill some people to say, ""Oh, look, we got even.''"

No +26438 We had the worst economy in a century. Yes +289 I like those ratings systems.

No +20886 You must say that if you receive money you must show us whether or not children are learning to read and write and add and subtract. No +27728 "And we've won just about every case that we've filed, that has been decided." No +23139 There's a bill on the floor of the United States Senate that he could have showed up and voted for if he's so much for it. No +7664 Not because I am preaching to the people of the South because this isn't just a Southern problem; it's a Northern problem and a Western problem; it's a problem for all of us. No +2918 But he also made sure that there was a bipartisan support. No +15306 "I noticed also in The Wall Street Journal early this week, that a preliminary report of his task force advocates making Social Security more sound by reducing the adjustment in Social Security for the retired people to compensate for the impact of inflation." Yes +695 "But I don't know of any reputable scientist who believed that this system, at least as originally conceived could possibly work, this notion of some kind of astrodome over ourselves that could protect us from enemy attack." Yes +25442 "And to give them technology of this kind, I disagree with." No +7335 "As president, I will make certain we travel it."

No +24210 "I live in a state where manufacturing job growth has far outpaced the nation in the last few years, where we have created more private sector jobs since Mr. Bush has been president than have been created in the entire rest of the country, where Mr. Bush's labor secretary said job growth has been enormous." Yes +24269 "We have a four percent gap between what we pay for treasuries, and what Germany pays for one to five year treasuries." Yes +15236 "The coal that the President mentioned - yes, we have it - and yet one-eighth of our total coal resources is not being utilized at all right now." Yes +79 "You know, we have five percent of the world's population in this country."

Yes +23008 "These terrorists are serious, they're deadly, and they know nothing except trying to kill." No +15568 And the answer is to discipline both the executive branch and the congressional branch by holding the line on taxes. No +22667 My opponent said that America must pass a global test before we used force to protect ourselves. No +33651 We're going to cut business taxes massively. No +8246 I know what it means to see people who are unemployed. No +29544 "When the audit's complete, I'll do it." No +25784 I have a little foundation for the disabled called the Dole Foundation. No +19906 We've had millions of young men and women in subsequent subsequent wars change the face of the nation because the government helped with their education. No +27807 And we're organizing trade relations with countries other than China so that China starts feeling more pressure about meeting basic international standards. Yes +28868 "Let me just say the first -- this business about the entitlement he tried to describe about savings, you know, matching savings here and matching savings there, fully-funded it's gonna cost a whole lot of money, a lot more than we have." No +27363 We need to be thinking about cyber security. No +22765 I remember when Ronald Reagan was the president; he stood on principle.

Yes +11505 "And if we throw away that ability to serve as an honest broker, then we have thrown -- we will have thrown away a strategic asset that's important not only to us but also to Israel."

No +2350 It's not that Dodd-Frank always was wrong with too much regulation. No +29367 So we have a very robust set of plans. No +17848 "I'm not going to, because I think that all of you -- or not everyone, those people that are in those pockets of poverty and haven't caught up, they couldn't answer the way I would want them to -- but I think that most of the people in this country would say, yes, they are better off than they were 4 years ago."

No +17708 "There is a connection between interest rates and inflation, but I would call to your attention that in 1981 while we were operating still on the Carter-Mondale budget that we inherited -- that the interest rates came down from 211/2, down toward the 12 or 13 figure." Yes +23547 "There is going to be hundreds of experiments off the 22 lines that now exist that are active, and hopefully we find a cure."

No +26583 One of the things I think that really frustrates people is that so often political campaigns seem to be more about the politicians that are running than the people. No +1833 This is about getting jobs for the American people. No +21856 "You shouldn't be worrying if you get a new job as to whether that's gonna -- and part of our plan is to make it what they call portable -- big word, but that means if you're working for the Jones Company and you go to the Smith Company, your insurance goes with you."

No +25975 I think I did the right thing. No +19314 But generally I believe that a president has to be willing to do what he thinks is right. No +32198 Hillary Clinton has been after this for years. Yes +21095 I want you to have your own asset that you can call your own. No +25751 So there's a great deal of cynicism out there. No +22305 "Not to the schools but to -- you know, 46% of the teachers in Chicago, public school teachers, send their kids to private school." Yes +29441 Because we have -- we have a president that can't sit them around a table and get them to approve something. No +16102 And I want to keep it alive in child care and in other entitlements.

No +24307 "Number two, we've got to take care of this missile situation and try to get the nuclear war behind us and give this thing very high priority." No +7087 "In September 2003, he supported amnesty for illegal aliens." Yes +9373 "Now, it's $4.00 a gallon." Yes +23995 And so I just have a different approach. No +5576 "Number one, I want to cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans." Yes +5679 Earmarks account for 0.5 percent of the total federal budget. Yes +22977 "If we had a disaster today, could they handle it?" No +20664 "Now, I think we should be reluctant to get involved in someplace in a foreign country."

Yes +2056 "Basically, they get deductions that those small businesses that Governor Romney refers to, they don't get." Yes +21236 "I want to make sure the seniors have the promise made will be a promise kept, but I want younger workers to be able to manage some of their own money, some of their own payroll taxes in the private sector under certain guidelines to get a better rate of return on your own money." No +29114 I've heard from so many of you about the difficult choices you face and the stresses that you're under. No +20218 I will make sure that we invest in our country and our families. No +17407 And now we're going back to budgeting for additional lands for our parks. No +15451 "Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago?" No +2617 "But -- but what it did do is to -- if you extrapolated how much money we're talking about, you'd look at cutting the education budget by up to 20 percent." Yes +20386 They have had their chance to get something done. No +9647 And that's not the kind of advocacy that women need in any economy. No +24257 "And I'm going to keep on vetoing them, because I don't think we're taxed too little." No +2534 That's part of my health care plan. Yes +4235 And the breakdown of the political process in Ukraine between Tymoshenko and Yushchenko is a very serious problem. No +32372 "Let me tell you, I'm going to force them right back into their country." No +23460 Dick Cheney's counted as a small business. No +15256 He wants to put all our eggs in one basket and give that basket to the major oil companies. No +33936 So these are people that push gays off business -- off buildings. Yes +7870 That's the argument between Mr. Nixon and myself and on that issue the American people have to make their judgment and I think it's a important judgment. No +11581 I think it's important for NATO to be strong and confident. No +27957 I want to control our own energy by developing oil and natural gas but also the energy sources of the future. No +8081 Abraham Lincoln was a great president of all the people; but he was selected by his party at a key time in history because his party stood for something. No +33090 "Well, I certainly will, because I think that's a very fair and important question." No +33937 These are people that kill women and treat women horribly. Yes +1892 "The approach that Governor Romney's talking about is the same sales pitch that was made in 2001 and 2003, and we ended up with the slowest job growth in 50 years, we ended up moving from surplus to deficits, and it all culminated in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression." Yes +3990 I think this is the right strategy. No +16354 Wasn't this the George Bush that supported Mr. Meese? No +20898 We have a strong charter school movement that I signed the legislation to get started in the State of Texas. Yes +32125 Let's get to their questions. No +26092 $500 per child under 18. Yes +26332 "I don't take credit for all the good things that have happened in America, but I take credit for what I've tried to do to work with others to make good things happen." No +6623 And so we said: Let's raise the standards. No +20648 We're having trouble meeting recruiting goals. No +1671 "I think it's important for us to develop new sources of energy here in America, that we change our tax code to make sure that we're helping small businesses and companies that are investing here in the United States, that we take some of the money that we're saving as we wind down two wars to rebuild America and that we reduce our deficit in a balanced way that allows us to make these critical investments." No +17768 "If you'd just tell us what you're going to do, then the American people could compare my plan for the future with your plan." No +18585 "Everybody knows it's hard work, because there's a determined enemy that's trying to defeat us." No +14258 "That's why I tried to be so specific in this campaign to have a mandate, if elected, so that Congress will know what the American people have voted for." No +11509 When it comes to timetables it can't be the United States timetable as to how discussions take place. No +19548 "Secondly, in Haiti, political violence is much, much smaller than it was." Yes +18078 "And I went there hoping that, once and for all, the free world would act in concert to get Saddam Hussein to listen to our demands."

Yes +25684 "I want to give a special thanks to my wife Elizabeth, my daughter Robin for their love and support, and thank the people who are listening and watching all over America." No +27600 "You know, after we killed bin Laden I was at ground zero for a memorial and talked to a young women who was four years old when 9/11 happened." No +2747 If I'm president I will create -- help create 12 million new jobs in this country with rising incomes. No +33627 They have to pay up. No +19996 I know he wants to disown it. No +9973 You also have investments in Chinese companies. Yes +18060 And we pushed our allies aside. No +27912 Those are the kinds of choices that the American people face right now. Yes +14479 I say that to both political parties. No +30254 "But they should be paying us, because we are providing tremendous service and we're losing a fortune." Yes +28227 We do so in my state of Texas. No +4098 "Senator Obama twice said in debates he would sit down with Ahmadinejad, Chavez and Raul Castro without precondition." Yes +14982 "The elements of government through these tax incentives For example, a business that would not have, for a period of time, an increase in the property tax reflecting its development of the unused property that it was making wouldn't be any loss to the city because the city isn't getting any tax from that now." Yes +2947 It seems to me that we can go from there to uh - the uh - grain sales. No +13254 "I think the President was correct, certainly, in his decision to continue the flights while the conference was going on." No +3851 But let's get back to the core issue here. No +16724 "So, shift from oil to coal, emphasize research and development on coal use and also on solar power, strict conservation measures, not yield every time that the special interest groups uh - put pressure on the president like uh this administration has done, and use atomic energy only as a last resort with the strictest possible safety precautions." No +33553 "As far as Japan and other countries, we are being ripped off by everybody in the -- we're defending other countries." No +13764 I have had it in every single proposal I've sent to the Congress. Yes +6875 I was deeply concerned about seniors having to choose between prescription drugs and food. No +2338 We need to get rid of that provision because it's killing regional and small banks. No +14546 How about a line item veto? No +14392 It's a sick art form. No +32740 I have 21 Congressional Medal of Honor recipients who endorsed me. No +1445 It means that there will be increased hires. No +21884 You've got to reassert your ownership in this country and you've got to completely reform our government. No +2163 "Actually just going to them and saying, ""We're going to reduce the rates you get paid across the board, everybody's going to get a lower rate.""" Yes +8791 "But I would leave you with this thought, sir, to be quite specific in my answer to your question: that, of course, to protect the vital interests of this country, if that became impossible; if I could not, despite the very best efforts that I asked the Congress to put forward, to raise those pay and incentives and allowances, of course, I would not leave this country go undefended." No +13534 "Let's look at the vote on the Congo, the vote was seventy to nothing against the Soviet Union." Yes +28888 Government shouldn't be a heavy hand. No +8015 General Ridgway has said the same thing. Yes +12635 More countries in Asia voted against us on that question than voted with us. Yes +20087 We now have 2500 hospices. Yes +6199 So this is going to be an important issue. No +22599 And yet he tells you he's for a middle- class tax cut.

No +13164 "There isn't any question but that we must move forward in every possible way to reduce the danger of war; to move toward controlled disarmament; to control tests; but also let's have in mind this: when Senator Kennedy suggests that we haven't been making an effort, he simply doesn't know what he's talking about." No +10181 "But I think that one area we agree on is the important of parents and the importance of schools, because I do believe that if our young people have opportunity, then they are less likely to engage in these kinds of violent acts." No +3944 "And that is a strategic mistake, because every intelligence agency will acknowledge that Al Qaida is the greatest threat against the United States and that Secretary of Defense Gates acknowledged the central front -- that the place where we have to deal with these folks is going to be in Afghanistan and in Pakistan." Yes +12784 "Mr. George Allen, head of your Information Service, has said that that made the people of the world begin to wonder whether we were first in science." No +4138 I'm not going to set the White House visitors schedule before I'm president of the United States. No +30300 The deal with Iran will lead to nuclear problems. No +11555 I thought he made the right decision to do so. No +16068 "Is he talking about a former Governor of the State of California, who is a former prosecutor, a Republican named Earl Warren, because I think Chief Justice Earl Warren was an outstanding Chief Justice and I think most Americans do too."

No +2469 "But, number one, preexisting conditions are covered under my plan." Yes +12608 "We relied on the Eisenhower Doctrine for the Middle East, which passed the Senate." Yes +33334 We're going to get them out; we're going to secure the border. No +29354 But you have no plan. No +33941 I think it would be a great gesture. No +28265 But here's what I said. No +2177 "And with regards to young people coming along, I've got proposals to make sure Medicare and Social Security are there for them without any question." No +22859 "Secondly, of course we've been involved with Iran." No +1168 "And my first organization was just four or five people plus my wife and my children, my three sons and their wives."

Yes +29835 "It had a very, very big impact." No +20691 "Look, that's where World War I started in the Balkans." No +34307 "But our country is so outplayed by Putin and Assad, and by the way -- and by Iran." No +15210 That's one major war explosion in a warhead. No +1706 That's not the right answer for America.

No +22718 "Now, this is guy a who, along with others, has taken great risk for great freedom." No +27903 "People can look it up, you're right." No +20117 Let's take all these four years in a row. No +3336 Let me restate uh - our policy. No +9572 I've done it my entire life. No +29501 This Janet Yellen of the Fed. No +15320 "I would like to make a change in the regulation that discriminates against a wife who works and finds that she then is faced with a choice between her father's or her husband's benefits, if he dies first, or what she has paid in; but it does not recognize that she has also been paying in herself, and she is entitled to more than she presently can get." No +11076 "There was a lot at stake there, my friends." No +19167 "But I do think we are right when we try to, for example, give mothers and newborns 48 hours before they can be kicked out of the hospital, ending these drive-by deliveries." No +2970 "In the case of the Helsinki agreement - it may have been a good agreement at the beginning, but we have failed to enforce the so-called basket three part, which insures the right of people to migrate, to join their families, to be free, to speak out." Yes +27915 What we can't do is go back to the same policies that got us into such difficulty in the first place. No +975 We live-we bring everybody along. No +15983 I am optimistic and I believe we can keep this longest expansion going. No +15294 "Now, it is trillions of dollars out of balance, and the only answer that has come so far is the biggest single tax increase in our nation's history - the payroll tax increase for Social Security - which will only put a band-aid on this and postpone the day of reckoning by a few years at most." Yes +11306 "And that's why I have consistently said that, if we can work more effectively with other countries diplomatically to tighten sanctions on Iran, if we can reduce our energy consumption through alternative energy, so that Iran has less money, if we can impose the kinds of sanctions that, say, for example, Iran right now imports gasoline, even though it's an oil-producer, because its oil infrastructure has broken down, if we can prevent them from importing the gasoline that they need and the refined petroleum products, that starts changing their cost-benefit analysis." No +20169 We are the greatest country on the face of the earth. No +34387 "No, it's going to totally help you." No +2864 "I think that would destroy the integrity and the strength of NATO, and I am totally opposed to it." No +10852 And let's keep -- never forget the struggle that Americans are in today. No +29012 One reason people are skeptical is because people don't answer the questions they've been asked. No +13250 "As far as Indochina was concerned, I stated over and over again that it was essential during that period that the United States make it clear that we would not tolerate Indochina falling under Communist domination." No +6468 Firehouses don't have enough firefighters in them. No +28837 "Affirmative action means that you take extra steps to acknowledge the history of discrimination and injustice and prejudice and bring all people into the American dream because it helps everybody, not just those who are directly benefitting." No +17811 "But I will say as a Democrat, I was a real piker, Mr. President." No +18026 That's why they're fighting so vociferously. No +18912 And we're going to get the job of containing all of that nuclear material in Russia done in four years. No +22470 But it's in your hands. No +7824 "In analyzing the figures we will find that our unemployment exists among the older citizens; it exists also among those who are inadequately trained; that is, those who do not have an adequate opportunity for education." Yes +15642 "And I think we know what they are: a good strong future, a future in which there is opportunity for all of our citizens." No +24586 We passed two very forward-looking civil rights bills. Yes +25909 "He puts his money in the outyears, and even if he were re-elected, he'd be gone before anything would happen, and nothing is going to happen." No +26288 How do we pay for it? No +6769 I completely respect their views. No +3009 It's a matter of being tough. No +3570 "What I've called for is a tax cut for 95 percent of working families, 95 percent." Yes +4206 "Well, I was interested in Senator Obama's reaction to the Russian aggression against Georgia." No +33011 The question was about the Supreme Court.

No +19279 So you can go out and create more jobs and more opportunities. No +18287 But the president made a mistake in invading Iraq. No +22059 "We've got to pay it off and build money to renew it- -spend money to renew it, and that's going to take a growing, expanding job base." No +25212 "We just heard the President's answer for the problems at the barracks in Lebanon, where 241 marines were killed." Yes +2813 "Mr. Ford has shown an absence of leadership, and an absence of a grasp of what this country is and what it ought to be." No +16475 "And I recommended that to the Congress with a budget ceiling of three hundred and ninety-five billion dollars, and that would have permitted us to have a $25 billion tax reduction." Yes +30229 "No, they were taunting us." No +9551 "You're going to lose some deductions, and you can't buy the sales pitch." No +1169 "And we won the nomination by going out into the streets - barbershops, beauty parlors, restaurants, stores, in factory shift lines also in farmers' markets and livestock sale barns - and we talked a lot and we listened a lot and we learned from the American people."

No +13536 We find that the Soviet Union is a very primitive economy. No +16684 "I remember when Alf Landon was against Social Security and uh - later President Nixon, sixteen years ago, was telling the public that John Kennedy's proposals would bankrupt the country and would double the cost." Yes +13364 "I would hope, under a different monetary policy, that it would be possible to reduce that interest-rate burden, at least a billion dollars." No +28342 I'm not just saying this. No +10778 "Tom, can I respond to this briefly?" No +7153 I will fight tooth and nail to pass the minimum wage. No +13443 That includes oil; it includes all kinds of minerals; it includes everything within the range of taxation. No +8153 And I think that's the only way that the United States is going to maintain its freedom. No +10268 "One of his big ideas when it comes to corporate tax reform would be to say, if you invest overseas, you make profits overseas, you don't have to pay U.S. taxes." Yes +17464 It was only when the Supreme Court handed down a decision that the Federal Government intervened in what had always been a State policy. Yes +33172 They will have a conservative bent.

No +23269 Every part of my program I've shown how I'm going to pay for it. No +3074 The worst inflation since the Great Depression. Yes +28306 "Now, accountability, we basically agree on accountability." No +27237 That way we can invest in the research and technology that's always kept us at the cutting edge. No +28859 "If you make more than $60,000 and up to 100 you'll still get a match, but not as generous." Yes +21974 "When the businesses go bankrupt, I know them." No +15268 "And I would like to see us a little more free, as we once were." No +10866 "And we can do it, too." No +13188 "My point is this: that once you do this - follow this course of action - of indicating that you are not going to defend a particular area, the inevitable result is that it encourages a man who is determined to conquer the world to press you to the point of no return." No +10950 And that's something that I'm committed to doing as president. No +7808 "And we can't do it unless we do have adequate funds for, for example, information which has been cut by the Congress, adequate funds for technical assistance." No +21885 And at that point they'll just be like apples falling out of a tree. No +1610 And with inspiration and hard work we can achieve great things. No +18506 "And Saddam Hussein was a threat, and that we must spread liberty because in the long run, the way to defeat hatred and tyranny and oppression is to spread freedom." No +23970 "In addition to that, the money that I raise from upper-income people and from asking foreign corporations just to pay the same income on their income earned in America that American corporations do will be used to give incentives back to upper-income people." No +12724 There are a good many able men who could be secretary of state. No +407 "Now, how does that grab you for increasing housing?" No +10363 The president said he would. No +3513 "And that's why it's so important, as we solve this short-term problem, that we look at some of the underlying issues that have led to wages and incomes for ordinary Americans to go down, the -- a health care system that is broken, energy policies that are not working, because, you know, 10 days ago, John said that the fundamentals of the economy are sound." No +25013 "So, I can say there are a great many interests." No +13259 What I object to here is the constant reference to surrendering these islands. No +120 He also wants to spend a lot of money on additional programs. No +25590 "Tonight, as Americans, you have a choice." No +12650 Mr. Nixon talks about our being the strongest country in the world. No +21695 "I live in a state where over half the adults have hunting or fishing licenses, or both."

No +21609 "And everyone of them -- the boys' club leaders, the ministers -- all of them were saying pass enterprise zones." No +21810 "So if you analyze where we're out of line with other countries, you come up with the following conclusions." No +5994 Now I just want to make one last point because Senator McCain mentioned NAFTA and the issue of trade and that actually bears on this issue. Yes +4236 "So watch Ukraine, and let's make sure that we -- that the Ukrainians understand that we are their friend and ally." No +18574 "But that's how we're going to win the peace, by rapidly training the Iraqis themselves."

Yes +18189 "Let me just quickly say, at the current pace, the president will not secure the loose material in the Soviet Union -- former Soviet Union for 13 years." No +19783 "That's why I want to continue the work we have done over partisan opposition, to work with communities to bring that crime rate down until our streets are all safe again." No +945 The best poverty program is a job with dignity in the private sector. No +15371 I said many foolish things back in those days. No +16537 "And it's just predicated on very modest, but I think accurate, projections of employment increases and uh - a growth in our national economy equal to what was experienced under Kennedy, Johnson, before the Vietnam War." No +19672 "You can also deduct long-term care now, so it's a good it's a good start." No +18002 "I believe I'm going to win, because the American people know I know how to lead." No +5549 I think tax policy is a major difference between Senator McCain and myself. No +6118 "And once you're out on your own with this $5,000 credit, Senator McCain, for the first time, is going to be taxing the health care benefits that you have from your employer." Yes +28987 And you bet we're gonna take a trillion dollars of your own money and let you invest it under safe guidelines so you get a better rate of return on the money than the paltry 2% that the federal government gets for you today. Yes +17830 "No, I might as well just go with -- --" No +10740 And that's going to require effort from each and every one of us. No +22296 I just had a word of clarification because of something Governor Clinton said. No +22273 "And it is particularly terrible to take poor tiny little children and wait until the first grade and bus them across town to Mars, where the children know their numbers, know their letters, have had every advantage." No +33957 The Clinton Foundation raised $30 million to help Haiti after the catastrophic earthquake and all of the terrible problems the people there had. Yes +30317 There's no doubt that we have other problems with Iran. No +11660 We have to work with Nigeria. No +2075 "And if we're asking for no revenue, then that means that we've got to get rid of a whole bunch of stuff." No +6897 It's not a government plan. No +11945 But I feel strongly that marriage should be between a man and a woman. No +16835 "Uh - there was one example, for instance, where uh - somebody uh - produced pornographic movies." No +26622 Only about half the people in this country have pension plans. Yes +16763 Each one of those jobs would've cost the taxpayers $25 thousand. No +24259 So Governor Clinton can label it tax for the rich or anything he wants. No +22435 "If they just want to keep slow dancing and talk about it and not do it, I'm not your man." No +23020 And the reason I'm worried is because there's a vicious enemy that has an ideology of hate. No +25607 "But above all, pick a President who will fight to avoid the day when that God-awful decision ever needs to be made." No +23308 And so the fundamental question of this campaign is: Who's going to keep the economy growing so people can work? No +17227 It's not an opinion; it's a fact. No +19029 "I also have a plan to win the war on terror, funding homeland security, strengthening our military, cutting our finances, reaching out to the world, again building strong alliances."

Yes +12032 "like a driver's license for new handguns and, you know, the Los Angeles --" No +17529 And I don't agree with it. No +28948 "22 million new jobs, very low unemployment nationally." Yes +30165 I then did an interview with Neil Cavuto. No +34301 "A cease-fire, the United States, Russia, and Syria." No +758 And my opponent was unwilling to support that action.

Yes +2819 Governor Carter in November of 1975 indicated that he wanted to cut the defense budget by $15 billion. Yes +16887 I don't think the American people are getting their money's worth from the majority party that run this Congress.

No +19305 "In the case of the product liability bill, which they passed and I vetoed, I think that's what he's talking about, I actually wanted to sign that bill." Yes +19828 I don't fault the President or the vice president for sending their children to private schools or better schools. No +26580 It's going to help jobs. No +24163 "In the rest of the world, the countries and the businesses would be working together to make this transition in an intelligent way." No +30173 "Sean Hannity said very strongly to me and other people -- he's willing to say it, but nobody wants to call him." No +4345 We are less respected now than we were eight years ago or even four years ago. No +18336 What's he say to Alexander Kwasniewski of Poland? No +9183 Asking the wealthy to pay a little bit more along with cuts so that we can invest in education like yours. No +18671 He was hoping to turn a blind eye. No +20324 "No prescription drug benefits, no drug therapy, no preventative medicines, no vision care."

No +10158 "For what purpose it was put in place, I can't imagine." No +11034 "And I am convinced that my record, going back to my opposition from sending the Marines to Lebanon, to supporting our efforts in Kosovo and Bosnia and the first Gulf War, and my judgment, I think, is something that I'm -- a record that I'm willing to stand on." Yes +33371 We will be doing very much better with Mexico on trade deals. No +14711 "More people are working harder for less, 100,000 people a month losing their health insurance, unemployment going up, our economy slowing down." Yes +27550 "If we're going to talk about trips that we've taken -- when I was a candidate for office, first trip I took was to visit our troops." No +21261 And a lot of times there are powerful forces that are against you. No +23633 I signed the partial-birth -- the ban on partial-birth abortion.

No +20115 "Well, there he goes again, that line has been used before, I mean, exaggerating all the things that he did." No +8404 As a matter of fact it will be necessary to raise taxes. No +7819 Now the bill that the President had submitted would have provided more aid for those areas that really need it - areas like Scranton and Wilkes-Barre and the areas of West Virginia - than the ones that Senator Kennedy was supporting. Yes +32212 "And the Affordable Care Act was meant to try to fill the gap between people who were too poor and couldn't put together any resources to afford health care, namely people on Medicaid." Yes +22416 One is to raise taxes. No +22422 I do believe that we need to control mandatory spending. No +28880 It will be a world of peace because we're going to have a clear sight of foreign policy based upon a strong military and a mission that stands by our friends. No +2180 And the essence of the plan is that you would turn Medicare into a voucher program. Yes +22732 I talk to Silvio Berlusconi. No +9736 "You know, there are some things where Governor Romney is different from George Bush." No +9160 I'm going to make sure you get a job. No +12741 Let me point out again that his Congress - the Democratic Congress - has cut eighty million dollars off of the Voice of America appropriations. Yes +15147 "But taking that one no from the Soviet Union, we then went back into negotiations on their terms, because Mr. Carter had canceled the B-I bomber, delayed the MX, delayed the Trident submarine, delayed the cruise missile, shut down the Missile Man - the three - the Minuteman missile production line, and whatever other things that might have been done." Yes +21838 One thing to blame is these malpractice lawsuits. No +12362 "And I think to answer your question, I think both of us care a lot about the environment." No +738 "These are American citizens, we care deeply about them." No +18905 Right now the president is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to research bunker-busting nuclear weapons. Yes +12903 I would say that the issue will stay with us as a campaign issue just as long as Senator Kennedy persists in what I think is a fundamental error. No +32997 "I ask Hillary, why doesn't -- she made $250 million by being in office." No +16769 "For example, as I have said, we have added some four million jobs in the last seventeen months." Yes +2221 I'd rather be able to have an insurance company. No +2527 And then that number disappears for high-income people. Yes +23690 We knew he'd been -- invaded other countries.

Yes +20663 "In fact, in my ten-year budget proposal I've set aside more than twice as much for this purpose as Governor Bush has in his proposal." Yes +22795 They retired General Shinseki for telling him that. Yes +19304 The Senator mentioned the trial lawyers. No +30095 "That means we've got to work more closely with our allies, and that's something that Donald has been very dismissive of." Yes +8446 "But if the money will go to the states and the states can then determine whether it shall go for school construction or for teachers' salaries, in my opinion you protect the local authority over the school board and the school committee." No +26939 But my strategy is broader than that. No +5697 I'm going to give a new direction to this economy in this country. No +7190 And I believe that the right of choice is a constitutional right. No +12997 "Now the second point we have to understand is this, however."

Yes +27937 The federal government didn't hire our teachers. Yes +16664 It's my understanding that Governor Carter has indicated that uh - he approves of a $30 billion uh - expenditure by the federal government as far as education is concerned. Yes +27796 I mean that's how our free market works. No +20772 "The Strunk family in Allentown, Pennsylvania, I campaigned with them the other day." No +26077 "Now, I've got a plan with this new welfare reform law to work with the private sector, to give employees specific tax incentives to hire people off welfare, and to do some other things which will create more jobs in the private sector, at least a million, and move more people from welfare to work." No +22563 But the president has underfunded it by $28 billion. Yes +21257 "Throughout my career in public service, I have fought for the working men and women of this country, middle-class families."

No +2443 "One is to simply leave a whole bunch of people uninsured and let them fend for themselves, to let businesses figure out how long they can continue to pay premiums until finally they just give up, and their workers are no longer getting insured, and that's been the trend line." No +33040 They'll pay off our national debt. No +22028 "Like the old carpenter says measure twice, cut once."

No +27466 His words amount to genocide incitation. No +25714 But that progress is only the beginning. No +20448 Secondly the difference is we need to explore at home. No +16062 I don't appoint people I think are liberal or people who think - who I think are conservative. No +25055 That is a very important objective -- to make certain that we continue to look forward to progress toward greater independence by these nations and work with each of them separately. No +24948 What is a President charged with doing when he takes his oath of office? No +6499 "He said, ""I don't know." No +3732 They just skim off $15 billion. Yes +14748 Question really is who do you want in the White House. No +6828 Most health-care costs are covered by third parties. Yes +26514 I hope not in both cases. No +17469 It does not happen that the church that I belong to had that as part of its dogma. No +824 "I think those are very very serious questions of judgment, which those of you who are watching us here tonight have a right to judge and review." No +15461 I know because we did it there.

No +395 "Well, that's a choice we have to make, isn't it?" No +34059 He said the Republican primary was rigged against him.

No +28944 "And, you know, we've heard a lot about -- from the governor about not much being done in the last eight years, as if the promises that I made eight years ago have not been kept." Yes +21741 "Now, what it really boils down to is can you live -- we become so preoccupied with the rights of the criminal that we've forgotten the rights of the innocent."

No +11091 And I can tell you right now the security of your young men and women who are serving in the military are my first priority right after our nation's security. No +10839 I have fought to reform government. Yes +29391 Because what I have proposed...

No +26121 So we can have a tax cut but my priority would be to help the families who need it with child rearing and education and buying a first-time home and helping for health care costs. No +11245 We haven't been doing enough of that. No +12584 The question is: are we moving in the direction of peace and security?

No +27345 "But the military -- let's get back to the military, though." No +20740 I think it needs to be moved out of the budget and protected. No +26911 "We see in -- in Libya, an attack apparently by, I think we know now, by terrorists of some kind against -- against our people there, four people dead."

No +32022 "Go back and take a look at those commercials, a race where you lost fair and square, unlike the Bernie Sanders race, where you won, but not fair and square, in my opinion." No +15447 "I think when you make that decision, it might be well if you would ask yourself, are you better off than you were four years ago?" No +17466 "So, I would think that this would be the point of enforcement on this." No +23416 "And the way I pay for it -- I'm not fiscally irresponsible -- is I roll back the tax cut this president so fiercely wants to defend, the one for him and me and Charlie."

No +19994 And not about personal things. No +30237 "And, in fact, his cavalier attitude about nuclear weapons is so deeply troubling." No +1248 And quite often this has been in the very poor people and neighborhoods in the downtown urban centers. No +24384 They didn't go over to coddle.

No +7443 And my opponent has got a plan of retreat and defeat in Iraq.

Yes +29849 And not go to things that sound good that really did not have the kind of impact that we would want. No +20863 And I have budgeted for that. No +6487 I think that attitude and that point of view is dangerous. No +13018 Am I trying to indicate that we have no problems in Africa or Latin America or Asia?

Yes +27232 But we also have to develop clean energy technologies that will allow us to cut our exports in half by 2020. No +21242 I want to make sure the education system fulfills its hope and promise. No +20883 He says he's for voluntary testing.

Yes +15333 I happened to favor the other piece of legislation and thought that it would be better for the senior citizens and provide better care than the one that was finally passed. No +11724 Our military is meant to fight and win war. No +14646 "And then, Helen, I really believe where people are going to ask this question about trust, because I do think there's a pattern by Governor Clinton of saying one thing to please one group, and then trying to please another group."

No +18286 "Well, you know, when I talked about the $87 billion, I made a mistake in how I talk about the war." No +12057 And there ought to be a consequence when you do carry a gun into a school.

No +24389 It has some very elderly leaders that will not be around too much longer.

Yes +24239 I think the American people are ready for action. No +16660 "We - uh believe that uh you can revise the federal criminal code, which has not been revised in a good many years." Yes +17221 "We have preserved the safety net for the people with true need in this country, and it has been pure demagoguery that we have in some way shut off all the charitable programs or many of them for the people who have real need."

No +15267 "I am suggesting that there are literally thousands of unnecessary regulations that invade every facet of business, and indeed, very much of our personal lives, that are unnecessary; that Government can do without; that have added $130 billion to the cost of production in this country; and that are contributing their part to inflation."

No +13325 "He has taken the position, when he first indicated in October of last year, that he would even favor compulsory arbitration as one of the weapons the president might have to stop a national emergency strike." Yes +720 Those are two hypo-rhetorical questions. No +24761 "He failed to take on somebody else -- the malpractice suit people, those that bring these lawsuits against -- these frivolous trial lawyers' lawsuits that are running the costs of medical care up 25 to 50 billion."

No +17199 "And, incidentally, I might say that with regard to the 25-percent cut in Social Security -- before I get to the answer to your question -- the only 25-percent cut that I know of was accompanying that huge 1977 tax increase, was a cut of 25 percent in the benefits for every American who was born after 1916." Yes +29314 "Well, I've been a senator, Donald..." No +33930 "... and it's a criminal enterprise, and so many people know it."

No +1250 "Also I favor all revenue sharing money being used for local governments, and also to remove prohibitions in the use of revenue sharing money so that it can be used to improve education, and health care."

No +33200 "And the court didn't accept that reasonable regulation, but they've accepted many others." Yes +16913 It's a matter of leadership or no leadership.

No +14134 So the answer is I could do that. No +14423 So I think what was wrong -- I give credit where credit is due -- but the responsibility was in coddling Saddam Hussein when there was no reason to do it and when people at high levels in our government knew he was trying to do things that were outrageous.

No +2840 "I think it's in the best interest of the United States, and the world as a whole that the United States negotiate rather than go back to the cold-war relationship with the Soviet Union." No +22228 So the net cost would be 8 billion 6 years from now in a trillion-plus budget -- not very much. Yes +3612 "Now, if you're a business person, and you can locate any place in the world, then, obviously, if you go to the country where it's 11 percent tax versus 35 percent, you're going to be able to create jobs, increase your business, make more investment, et cetera."

No +2555 And so what I've tried to do as president is to apply those same principles. No +9386 "What I want to do is to create an economy that is strong, and at the same time produce energy." No +12393 But the people are going to have to make up their mind on this issue. No +10239 China has been a currency manipulator for years and years and years.

No +15313 "It has, as I said, delayed the actuarial imbalance falling on us for just a few years with that increase in taxes, and I don't believe we can go on increasing the tax, because the problem for the young people today is that they are paying in far more than they can ever expect to get out." Yes +3988 "And, John, I -- you're absolutely right that presidents have to be prudent in what they say." No +8973 "But we did factor in our own ideas with regard to increases in the projected military spending that we believe would, over a period of time, do what is necessary."

No +16501 "As a matter of fact, uh - 25 percent of the total tax deductions, go for only 1 percent of the richest people in this country, and over 50 percent of the tax uh credits go for the 14 percent of the richest people in this country." Yes +11124 "Now, let me just go back with you very briefly." No +12200 The top 1% will pay one-third of all the federal income taxes. Yes +18154 What message does that send our troops? No +1780 "Well, I think -- let's talk about taxes, because I think it's instructive." No +16024 I voted against that at the National Governors Association. Yes +19785 I am very oriented toward the future. No +18196 My administration has tripled the amount of money we're spending on homeland security to $30 billion a year. Yes +9964 Have you looked at your pension? No +17865 "We have, as I said, cut the taxes, but we have reduced inflation, and for 2 years now it has stayed down there, not at double digit, but in the range of 4 or below." Yes +21075 It would borrow up to $3 trillion. Yes +13111 We tried this with Hitler. No +7051 It's to make sure we have fiscal sanity and keep taxes low. No +19409 "The most heavily directed, decorated solder in uniform when he retired." No +5726 I support clean coal technology. No +30069 She's been trying to take them out for a long time. Yes +16298 "An administration which wants to billions on weapons systems that we don't need and can't afford, and now confronts us with a very serious problem, and plants that are supposed to be producing tritium and plutonium and providing the necessary materials for existing weapons." No +5575 If I can answer the question. No +28491 The United States has to be strong in order to make sure that we can help promote peace and security and stability. No +17754 "Without any doubt, I have stood up and told the American people that that $263 billion deficit must come down." Yes +19481 But let's look at the facts here. No +21615 "And then you can sit down and say, help me do what we should for the cities." No +16135 There are plenty of places to cut. No +12795 I don't think that even if that effort fails that it will be necessary to carry on tests in the atmosphere which pollute the atmosphere. No +13606 I think we can do better if we have the courage to change. No +13279 He didn't take that position on Budapest. Yes +22153 Because the question you ask is important. No +16620 And we shifted people out of administrative jobs into the field to deliver better services. Yes +8070 The people have to make up their minds. No +22265 "Secondly, across Texas, typically half of the school day was non-academic pursuits -- in one place it was 35%."

Yes +19992 "As far as I'm concerned, this is a campaign about issues." No +33702 They're growing at 8 percent. Yes +6779 The president has never said whether or not he would do that. Yes +10769 Small businesses across America will have to cut jobs and will have their taxes increase and won't be able to hire because of Senator Obama's tax policies. No +6058 "And we estimate we can cut the average family's premium by about $2,500 per year." Yes +26483 Let me just give you one tiny example.

No +25062 "He was against the F - 14 fighter, he was against the M - 1 tank, he was against the B - 1 bomber, he wanted to cut the salary of all of the military, he wanted to bring home half of the American forces in Europe." Yes +34051 I'll keep you in suspense. No +30370 Did you ask me a question? No +23707 That's why Senator Lugar says: incompetent in the delivery of services. Yes +11721 Maybe I'm missing something here. No +18051 "In fact, he first didn't even want to do that." No +21206 Be strict and firm about it. No +15098 "I have never answered the question, however; second, the one that says, well, tell me, what are some of those ideas?" No +6708 I have supported or voted for tax cuts over 600 times. Yes +19556 Then from World War I to World War II we had sort of a compulsory engagement policy. No +28806 "Not with quotas, but help meet a goal of ownership of small businesses, for example." No +33959 And we're going to keep working to help Haiti... No +24649 We need to put one person in charge of the battle against AIDS to cut across all the agencies that deal with it.

No +15853 "Teddy Roosevelt used to talk about the arena, you know, daring to fail greatly or succeed, no matter." No +13155 We may be able to get satisfactory assurances. No +29971 And I have been given great credit for what I did. No +25321 It is also true that this has been a situation on our borders back through a number of administrations.

No +173 "It's time for a chief executive who can make tough choices, can work with the Congress, can get that deficit down and begin to build a strong fiscal foundation under this country."

No +11008 "Now, the final point I'll make on this whole issue of government intrusion and mandates -- it is absolutely true that I think it is important for government to crack down on insurance companies that are cheating their customers, that don't give you the fine print, so you end up thinking that you're paying for something and, when you finally get sick and you need it, you're not getting it." No +33091 "Look, I respect his children." No +28204 Get a variety of choices to make in their lives. No +766 That is a very serious charge against the president.

No +19698 "Well, the president's own CIA director says Saddam is stronger now than he was." Yes +27076 "And finally, we don't want to have military involvement there."

No +15334 I was not opposing the principle of providing care for them. Yes +23711 "Ten thousand out of 12,000 Humvees aren't armored." Yes +28251 "Governor Bush is for vouchers, and in his plan he proposes to drain more money, more taxpayer money out of the public schools for private school vouchers than all of the money that he proposes in his entire budget for public schools themselves."

No +24412 "And right now, as you know, the US took the lead in a no-fly operation up there in-- no- fly order up in the United Nations." Yes +30198 I know how to win. No +3725 That is a big project. No +12840 "When I say ""phony spirit,"" I mean phony, not because the spirit is not good on our side, but because the Soviet Union simply doesn't intend to carry out what they say." No +8584 "I believe that when we examine the Democratic platform, when we examine the proposals that he has discussed tonight, when we compare them with the proposals that I have made, that these proposals that he makes would not result in greater growth for this country than would be the case if we followed the programs that I have advocated." No +13081 That has been reinforced by direct commitments of the president of the United States; it's been reinforced by a number of other nations under NATO.

No +14896 "The most recent figures, the last three months, on the third quarter of this year, the inflation rate is 7% - still too high, but it illustrates very vividly that in addition to providing an enormous number of jobs - nine million new jobs in the last three and a half years - that the inflationary threat is still urgent on us."

No +3484 "So -- so the question, I think, that we've got to ask ourselves is, yes, we've got to solve this problem short term." No +11852 And it's the right cause.

No +6086 "Now, Joe, Senator Obama's plan, if you're a small business and you are able -- and your -- the guy that sells to you will not have his capital gains tax increase, which Senator Obama wants, if you're out there, my friend, and you've got employees, and you've got kids, if you don't get -- adopt the health care plan that Senator Obama mandates, he's going to fine you." Yes +575 But I don't think it's just experience that makes the difference. No +33635 We're up to $20 trillion. Yes +25063 And he has a record of weakness with regard to our national defense that is second to none. No +12695 We are quarantining Mr. Castro today. Yes +7866 "And I believe the American people have to make the choice on November eighth between the view of whether we have to move ahead faster, whether what we're doing now is not satisfactory, whether we have to build greater strength at home and abroad and Mr. Nixon's view."

Yes +11867 Let me tell you where the biggest discrimination comes. No +108 "Mr. Bush has been critical of me for that, but I think those are the kinds of tough choices you have to make." No +30246 It's not an accurate one at all. No +16183 That is the same old argument that's gotten us into trouble on the deficit side. No +9074 Do you really think that 8 million Americans being out of work and the 50% unemployment among the youth of our country are acceptable? Yes +1381 So merit selection of judges is the most important single criterion. No +20212 I will put Medicare and Social Security in a lockbox and protect them. No +29691 We have to restore trust between communities and the police. No +12537 We have always been willing to go the extra mile to negotiate for disarmament or in any other area. Yes +14983 "And there would simply be a delay, and on the other hand, many of the people who would then be given jobs are presently wards of the Government and it wouldn't hurt to give them a tax incentive, because they... that wouldn't be costing Government anything either." No +17918 "We can be better if we face our future, rejoice in our strengths, face our problems, and by solving them, build a better society for our children." No +15421 I think the result of this debate indicates that that fact is true. No +3755 Senator Obama opposes both storing and reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Yes +29523 "Well, I told you, I will release them as soon as the audit." No +7909 He was going to break it up because he would - knew that he wasn't going to get his way on Berlin and on the other key matters with which he was concerned at the Paris Conference.

No +19334 "And it seems to me that there is a problem there, Mr. President." No +17804 And I'm hoping we can start some payments on it before we get through here. No +19522 We've also stood up to the new threats of terrorism. No +6003 That is not free trade. No +6839 "Thirdly, one of the reasons why there's still high cost in medicine is because this is -- they don't use any information technology." Yes +29239 "That's called business, by the way."

No +5504 That paid their mortgage payments? No +463 "And I have had a couple of exceptions that I support - rape, incest and the life of the mother." No +7295 "I ran one of the largest district attorney's offices in America, one of the ten largest."

No +17249 "Well, I was raised to have a faith and a belief and have been a member of a church since I was a small boy."

No +15968 "The point is you've got to have a president who's prepared to do this and to begin right away and, preferably, a president who was a governor of a state that's had very, very successful experience at doing this." No +22283 Cheapest money you'll ever spend. No +19156 "If you made 25,000 as the original proposal, you got your Social Security taxes increased."

Yes +30065 "Well, President Obama and Secretary Clinton created a vacuum the way they got out of Iraq, because they got out -- what, they shouldn't have been in, but once they got in, the way they got out was a disaster." No +32883 And I was proud of that. No +15943 And I think those that advocated the freeze missed the point that there was a better way and that better way has resulted in a principle asymmetrical cuts.

No +28329 Part of it's because you can't -- you can't control the classroom. No +32272 And she won't even mention the word and nor will President Obama.

Yes +2829 Let me tell you this straight from the shoulder. No +26287 We think that's very important because a lot of people take care of their parents. No +1129 "It's far better for a person sitting in the White House uh - who has a number of options to make certain that the uh - other side, so to speak, doesn't know precisely what you're going to do." No +26473 If there's anything that's going to change America it's get the economy growing. No +15862 "I didn't hear the word ""liberal"" or ""left"" one time."

Yes +25812 "Number four, make sure we protect the integrity with the Medicare program and Medicaid program and not do anything in cutting costs which would cause hundreds of hospitals to close which could have been the case if the 270billion dollar Medicare cut that I vetoed, had been enacted in the law." Yes +24425 I think if we learned anything in Vietnam is you first commit this nation before you commit the troops to the battlefield. No +21796 So we need to do the reforms and the term limits.

No +4268 "That's just not true, John." No +18773 That's where he was breaking the agreement. Yes +29831 And it was terminated by current mayor. Yes +7953 I think it may be necessary that we have more taxes. No +30280 "At the same time, we have to be prepared." No +20166 I've learned to feed myself and to walk and to dress. No +2643 "But you make a very good point, which is that the place you put your money just makes a pretty clear indication of where your heart is."

No +20416 It would only give us a few months' worth of oil and the oil wouldn't start flowing for many years into the future. No +22247 Those schools belong to you.

No +29396 And I think it's time that the wealthy and corporations paid their fair share to support this country. No +13131 "I suggest that if Formosa is attacked or the Pescadores, or if there's any military action in any area which indicates an attack on Formosa and the Pescadores, then of course the United States is at war to defend its treaty." No +20413 There is a ravenous demand for them overseas. No +33066 We have enough worries over there without having to worry about that. No +8012 But it's extremely difficult to make that judgment.

No +9474 So four years ago I stood on a stage just like this one. No +10711 "One of them is in defense spending, because I've taken on some of the defense contractors."

No +31903 ISIS happened a number of years ago in a vacuum that was left because of bad judgment. No +16378 We can do better than that. No +16213 We passed landmark legislation in '84. No +2818 Let me take just one question that he raises - the military strength and capability of the United States. No +22982 "Listen, we'll do everything we can to protect the homeland."

No +8692 ...and $500 billion over the next five. Yes +28322 I worry about federalizing education if I were you. No +7134 We have fought to try to raise the minimum wage in the last years. Yes +10876 "And that's why we've got to make some investments and I've called for investments in solar, wind, geothermal." Yes +1981 And this is a major difference that Governor Romney and I have. No +24437 "There are, after all, 2 million refugees now because of the problems in what was Yugoslavia, the largest number since World War II, and there may be hundreds of thousands of people who will starve or freeze to death in this winter." Yes +13466 "I should point out that as far as depletion allowances are concerned, the oil depletion allowance is one that provides eighty percent of all of those involved in depletion, so you're not going to get much from revenue insofar as depletion allowances are concerned, unless you move in the area that he indicated." Yes +3801 "This strategy requires additional troops, it requires a fundamental change in strategy and I fought for it." No +2387 And it wasn't just that small businesses were seeing costs skyrocket and they couldn't get affordable coverage even if they wanted to provide it to their employees. Yes +12773 The s- I believe the Soviet Union is first in outer space.

No +1174 "The one major decision that I have made since acquiring the nomination, and I share this with President Ford, is the choice of a vice president." No +24911 A President is called the Commander in Chief. No +18648 Osama bin Laden attacked us. Yes +16143 "We have a fundamental difference, approach on agriculture."

No +12889 "Right under the Soviet gun, with Soviet troops there, he is in a very difficult position in taking anything independent, a position which would be independent of the Soviet Union." No +641 But those are the choices the next president of the United States is going to have to make. No +9524 "And finally, championing small business." No +12782 "Part of that is because we've stood still here at home, because we haven't met our problems in the United States, because we haven't had a moving economy." No +32824 Nothing's going to ever happen. No +8763 "And that is, that we cannot look at this as simply a national problem." No +33043 We have to bring back our workers. No +25745 I appreciate the quote from the young man. No +32704 I think you have to knock out ISIS. No +18177 That's why they had to close down the subway in New York when the Republican Convention was there. Yes +1998 It's not the same as Simpson- Bowles. No +22954 "I've asked in my security briefings why that is, and I can't go into all the answers, et cetera, but let me say this to you." No +17493 We haven't felt so insecure that we've reached for the club of state to have our point of view.

No +34412 "And I'll say something about the Affordable Care Act, which he wants to repeal." Yes +11068 That's why it's so important for us to be able to work in concert with our allies. No +21710 I think you put your finger on a major problem. No +5675 There are some programs that are underfunded. No +11912 And they got the ultimate punishment. Yes +7304 "Terrorists can now come into America and go to a gun show and, without even a background check, buy an assault weapon today."

No +11688 "And acting upon that lesson in the aftermath of our great victory in World War II, we laid down the Marshall Plan, President Truman did."

Yes +18679 The world is more dangerous. No +19385 And members of Senator Dole's own party in the Senate killed it. Yes +6239 "And in some ways, it may be difficult to -- to reconcile the two views." No +12270 "In other words, there are practical things we can do." No +3685 "We have to have energy independence, so I've put forward a plan to make sure that, in 10 years' time, we have freed ourselves from dependence on Middle Eastern oil by increasing production at home, but most importantly by starting to invest in alternative energy, solar, wind, biodiesel, making sure that we're developing the fuel-efficient cars of the future right here in the United States, in Ohio and Michigan, instead of Japan and South Korea." No +22002 "But on all of these things, a sound economy is the only way to get it going." No +26625 "So what, what is in my plan and I think it's almost identical in Senator Dole's plans is we make more people eligible to save in an IRA and let couples, married couples save more and then they could withdraw from it tax-free if they needed to, for medical emergencies or buy a home or education, but they could also save to supplement retirement." No +24315 "First of all, the world is still a dangerous and uncertain place."

Yes +1549 I have never promised more than I could produce and I have produced everything that I promised. No +20637 I would take the use of force very seriously. No +7618 The point that is always left out is the fact that we expressed regrets to Castro this winter; that we expressed regrets - the Eisenhower Administration expressed regrets - for a flight over Southern Russia in 1958. Yes +10795 "I want to provide a tax cut for 95 percent of Americans, 95 percent." No +12911 "Either he's for the President and he's against the position that those who opposed the President in fifty-five and fifty-nine - and the Senator's position itself, stated the other day in our debate - either he is for the President and against that position or we simply have a disagreement here that must continue to be debated." No +28270 "But when we find children trapped in schools that will not change and will not teach, instead of saying oh, this is okay in America just to shuffle poor kids through schools, there has to be a consequence."

Yes +26728 "I think it's -- before I came in, my wife and daughter and I had a prayer." No +9227 And we have fought back for four years to get out of that mess. No +8559 The Soviet Union is making great gains. No +15332 "When I opposed Medicare, there was another piece of legislation meeting the same problem before the Congress."

No +23075 "And I'm fighting to let you get those drugs from Canada, and I'm fighting to let Medicare survive." Yes +4304 "I think it -- that we have a safer nation, but we are a long way from safe." No +24749 "I say if Germany can cover everybody and keep costs under inflation, if Hawaii can cover 98% of their people at lower health care costs than the rest of us, if Rochester, New York, can do it with two-thirds of the cost of the rest of it, America can do it, too." Yes +23901 I said something the other day where I was accused of being like Joe McCarthy because I questioned -- I put it this way; I think it's wrong to demonstrate against your own country or organize demonstrations against your own country in foreign soil. No +28569 "But all of my proposals are focused on that problem, gun safety." Yes +18820 We ought to be working with the African Union to do so -- precisely what we did in Liberia. No +7627 I believe we should have a stronger military force. No +28800 But policies that give people a helping hand so they can help themselves. No +30387 "Whether it's the Iran deal that you're so in love with, where we gave them $150 billion back, whether it's the Iran deal, whether it's anything you can -- name -- you almost can't name a good deal." Yes +7958 "I think I should also add that as far as Senator Kennedy's proposals are concerned, if he intends to carry out his platform - the one adopted in Los Angeles - it is just impossible for him to make good on those promises without raising taxes or without having a rise in t- prices or both." No +16736 So mandatory conservation measures - yes. No +14487 "Well, if you watched my television show the other night, you saw it." No +33825 "They hired people -- they paid them $1,500, and they're on tape saying be violent, cause fights, do bad things." Yes +8581 I agree with Senator Kennedy completely on that score. No +27545 "And then in those nations, and on Arabic TV, you said that America had been dismissive and derisive." No +23327 "You can run, but you can't hide." No +23455 But let me just address what the president just said. No +21455 I think you have to look at it. No +21312 "Have no environmental controls, no pollution controls and no retirement." No +29154 "Under my plan, I'll be reducing taxes tremendously, from 35 percent to 15 percent for companies, small and big businesses." No +22850 It's very hard to get other countries to give up their weapons when you're busy developing a new one. No +24237 "But I think the important thing--the important thing-- is to use the powers the president does have on the assumption that, given the condition of this economy, we're going to keep interest rates down if we have the discipline to increase investment and reduce the debt at the same time." No +3770 I want the families to make decisions between themselves and their doctors. No +6142 And we've got too much government and too much spending and the government is -- the size of government has grown by 40 percent in the last eight years. Yes +31996 "He had to pay an $850,000 fine to one of the women." Yes +9313 "Oil production is up, natural gas production is up, and, most importantly, we're also starting to build cars that are more efficient." Yes +9043 We came from 100 different corners of the earth. No +15621 I don't know if the vice president agrees with that. No +29328 "But you know that if you did win, you would approve that, and that will be almost as bad as NAFTA." No +1329 "Uhh - I believe also that uh - there is some merit to a - an amendment that uh - uh - Senator Everett Dirksen uh - proposed very frequently, an amendment that would uh - change the court decision as far as voluntary prayer in public schools." No +24097 "We have a disciplined reduction in the deficit of 50 % over the next 4 years, but first get incentives to invest in this economy, put the American people back to work." No +166 "A capital gains differential will increase jobs, increase risk taking, increase revenues to the Federal Government." No +20937 "More money is needed and I spend more money, but step one is to make sure we reform the system to have the system in place that leaves no child behind." No +13639 We've got to pay it back. No +22638 "Now, the president wishes that I had changed my mind." No +3832 "The next president of the United States is going to have to decide how we leave, when we leave, and what we leave behind." No +28761 "There's a lot of young folks saying, you know, why do I want to be involved with this mess?" No +7489 "And I'm blessed, as I think the president is blessed, as I said last time." No +33179 And those are the people that I will appoint. No +9178 "And the fact that you're going to college is great, but I want everybody to get a great education and we've worked hard to make sure that student loans are available for folks like you, but I also want to make sure that community colleges are offering slots for workers to get retrained for the jobs that are out there right now and the jobs of the future." Yes +25945 So you add it up. No +33823 Just like if you look at what came out today on the clips where I was wondering what happened with my rally in Chicago and other rallies where we had such violence? No +20149 The auto worker in Toledo who was unemployed when I was elected and now has a great job because we're number one in auto production again.

No +15891 "I was over running records in west Texas, and I got a call from her, come home; went to the doctor; the doctor said, beautiful child, your child has a few weeks to live." No +12464 I'm running to get some things done for America. No +21479 But the big argument I have with the governor on this is this taking different positions on different issues -- trying to be one thing to one person here that's opposing the NAFTA agreement and then for it -- what we call waffling.

No +3758 "An issue I have been involved in for many, many years and I'm proud of the work of the work that I've done there along with Senator Clinton." No +6031 But I think that the important point is we've got to have a president who understands the benefits of free trade but also is going to enforce unfair trade agreements and is going to stand up to other countries.

No +29052 A promise made will be a promise kept should I be fortunate enough to become your president. No +7638 "Now in that connection Senator Kennedy has criticized the President on the ground not only of not expressing regrets, but because he allowed this flight to take place while the summit conference - or immediately before the summit conference occurred."

No +27560 "And they can look at my track record, whether it's Iran sanctions, whether it's dealing with counterterrorism, whether it's supporting democracy, whether it's supporting women's rights, whether it's supporting religious minorities."

No +4364 "Look, over the last eight years, this administration, along with Senator McCain, have been solely focused on Iraq." Yes +13522 A - More countries voted against us in Asia on this issue than voted with us. Yes +33691 That is not going to work.

No +16891 "So it seems to me instead of the anti-Washington feeling being aimed at everybody in Washington, it seems to me that the focus should be where the problem is, which is the Congress of the United States, and particularly the majority in the Congress." No +14455 "And I believe if we have a good balanced approach, we can get the good banks loaning money again, end the credit crunch, have proper regulation on the ones that are in trouble, and not overreact."
