President Dwight D. Eisenhower

"I was in a campaign in which I did not know the people individually running the campaign. So I had to put my life, my

you are working with."

selection of his successor as U.S. senator."
Dan Pfeiffer

QUOTE: 12-14-08

Democrat party moreso than conservatism? - Trent)

QUOTE: 12-13-08
"Bailouts generally don't work, and this is a huge proposed bailout, and I fear it's just the down payment on more to
come next year. These companies are either already failed or failing, and that's a shame. These aren't the General
Motors, Ford and Chrysler I knew."
Richard Shelby

QUOTE: 12-12-08
"The primary driver behind this is the unions, because bankruptcy allows the auto companies to basically restructure all
their contracts in a way that a bankruptcy judge says will make them sustainable. And if they do that, then essentially
the unions lose all their leverage. It’s the unions that have brought them to the brink. So definitely, I think the reason
they want a political solution and a car czar is because a car czar can protect the unions through this whole process at
the expense of the taxpayer.”
Jim DeMint

QUOTE: 12-11-08

QUOTE: 12-9-08
"I want to pass along the liberty and freedom that my great great great grandfathers had to my children."
Mike Church

QUOTE: 12-8-08
"At his announcement of an economic team there was no secretary of labor. If you don’t think the labor secretary is on
the same level as treasury secretary, that gives me pause. The president-elect wouldn't be president-elect without
labor."
Jonathan Tasini

QUOTE: 12-7-08
"We've got to provide a blood infusion to the patient right now to make sure that the patient is stabilized. And that
means that we can't worry short term about the deficit. We've got to make sure that the economic stimulus plan is large
enough to get the economy moving."
Barack Obama

QUOTE: 12-6-08
"While I didn’t vote for him, I’m actually rooting for Obama and his administration to do well. A successful, efficient
and well managed government is what we should all want. But wishing them well and hoping for the best doesn’t
require us to not disagree or to not express differences."
