"Americans... still believe in an America where anything's possible - they just don't think their leaders do.""Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress." "I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war.
"It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today." I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.
"My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington." "There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America."
"There is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America - there's the United States of America." "Today we are engaged in a deadly global struggle for those who would intimidate, torture, and murder people for exercising the most basic freedoms. If we are to win this struggle and spread those freedoms, we must keep our own moral compass pointed in a true direction."
"America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page of the policies of the past.""When we think of the major threats to our national security, the first to come to mind are nuclear proliferation, rogue states and global terrorism. But another kind of threat lurks beyond our shores, one from nature, not humans - an avian flu pandemic."
"We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated.""You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig."
John McCain once opposed these tax cuts - he rightly called them unfair and fiscally irresponsible. But now he has done an about face and wants to make them permanent, just like he wants a permanent occupation in Iraq. No matter what the costs, no matter what the consequences, John McCain seems determined to carry out a third Bush-term. That's an outcome America can't afford. Because of the Bush-McCain policies, our debt has ballooned.""We can build a more hopeful America. And that is why, in the shadow of the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln once called on a house divided to stand together, where common hopes and common dreams still live, I stand before you today to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America."

People tend to rant and rage about things that they could possibly not understand; on the other hand, people tend to rant and rage about things that are not ideally how they ought to be. When promoting communication in the name of politics, I think that it is important not to insult people who may be involved in conversation. The main goal of people involved in political debate is most likely to liberate the best legistrative/administrative body. ;)
