When all souls come back from the far away-

"I'll never get tired of livin'. But, I think it's a great waste of time to sit around in morbid fear of a fate we all have to share. I think the most important thing is you have to keep your head in the game. And to think about what you you're doin at the moment."
-- President Bill Clinton, on ABC's Prime Time Live, October 2004, after his quadruple bypass surgery.

It's our commander-in-chief, George Bush, who didn't do his."
-- Senator John Edwards, yesterday.

"When the Bay of Pigs went sour, John Kennedy had the courage to look America in the eye and say, `I take responsibility, it's my fault'...John Kennedy knew how to take responsibility for the mistakes he made and Mr. President, it's long since time for you to start taking responsibility for the mistakes you made."

"I'm voting for John Kerry because I'm a Christian. I know that my second cousin, George Bush, claims that he is the anointed leader of the American people and that God told him to run for office. I believe he may even believe that. I don't... My Christian faith is not looking for a new Messiah named George Bush. I am, however, looking for a leader. I believe that leader's name is John Kerry."

"We look back on the past four years with hearts nearly breaking, both for the lives unnecessarily lost and for the opportunities so casually wasted. Time and again, history invited George W. Bush to play a heroic role, and time and again he chose the wrong course. We believe that with John Kerry as president, the nation will do better.

"Voting for president is a leap of faith. A candidate can explain his positions in minute detail and wind up governing with a hostile Congress that refuses to let him deliver. A disaster can upend the best-laid plans. All citizens can do is mix guesswork and hope, examining what the candidates have done in the past, their apparent priorities and their general character. It's on those three grounds that we enthusiastically endorse John Kerry for president."

-- Editorial, John Kerry for President, The New York Times.

"The best spin for the Democrats is that they're using Mary Cheney to paint their opponents as hypocrites: Republicans feign acceptance of all people, trot their own daughters out to demonstrate their fairness, then propose that the Constitution be amended to deny equal rights to same-sex couples. They want to have it both ways."
-- William B. Rubenstein, Op-ed contributer, Play It Straight, The New York Times, today.

"Kerry expressed the human side of an issue that Bush has worked so hard to politicize to his advantage at the cost of families."
-- Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, as quoted in Cheney Criticizes Kerry for Mentioning Daughter,by David Stout, in The New York Times.

"Six months after he said Osama Bin Laden must be caught dead or alive, this President was asked, 'Where is Osama bin Laden?' He said, 'I don't know. I don't really think about him very much. I'm not that concerned.' We need a President who stays deadly focused on the real war on terror."
-- Senator John Kerry, at last night's debate.

"Gosh, I just don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama Bin Laden."
"That's kind of one of those - exaggerations."
-- President George Bush, at last night's debate.

"I don't know where he is. You know, I just don't spend that much time on him. ... I truly am not that concerned about him."
