The disastrous invasion of Iraq, something that I strongly opposed, has unraveled the region.
I don’t want to get people nervous falling off their chairs, but Social Security is a socialist program. It’s a program by which the United States government has said that when you get old you should have a steady source of income.
What we need to do is lead an international coalition which includes very significantly the Muslim nations in that region who are going to have to fight and defend their way of life.
Clearly North Korea is a very strange situation because it is such an isolated country run by a handful of dictators, or maybe just one, who seems to be somewhat paranoid. And, who had nuclear weapons.
I believe in public funding of elections, absolutely. But this system iscurrently very antiquated and no longer applies to modern day politics.
When I was in the House for 16 years, I caucused with the Democrats.
I think it’s important that members of the United States Senate spend time not just on Capitol Hill but making contact with ordinary people and engaging them in the political process.
The Republican I ran against, at the end of the campaign, had decided that I was “a friend of terrorists” and “a friend of pedophiles.” That’s the kind of crap they came out with. I expect that’s the kind of crap they’ll come out with again.
The only way change happens is when people become more significantly involved in the political process.
I want to see working people and young people come into the party in a way that doesn’t exist now. And you know what, I want a 50-state strategy so the Democratic Party is not just the party of 25 states.
Planned Parenthood and Human Rights Campaign are standing up and fighting the important fights that have to be fought.
I am a fierce supporter of Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and gay rights in this country.
The hardest thing about going to college should not be paying for it.
It’s immoral and wrong that the top 1 percent of the USA owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. We should look at countries like Denmark and Sweden and Norway and look at what they’ve accomplished for their working people.
I’ve run for statewide office plenty of times, and people know me.
I don’t want to see kids in America being scared because they’re hearing people on television and the radio saying really ugly xenophobic and racist things.
I was not a great student at the University of Chicago. I think that is – the record will bare me out. But I spent a lot of time reading history, sociology, psychology – reading everything except what I was supposed to read for class the next day.
I would not ask anyone to vote for me based on my last name. I am certainly not campaigning to be president because my last name is Clinton.
I believe that climate change is the great global crisis that we face, environmental crisis. I believe that if you’re serious about climate change, you don’t encourage the excavation and transportation of very dirty oil.
I understood that these trade agreements were going to destroy the middle class of this country. I led the fight against us. That is one of the major differences that we have.
