The president has undermined trust. No longer will the members of Congress be entitled to accept his veracity. Caveat emptor has become the word. Every member of Congress is on his or her own to determine the truth.

I wouldn't approach the issue of judging in the way the president does. Judges can't rely on what's in their heart. They don't determine the law. Congress makes the law. The job of a judge is to apply the law.

I think if you look at yesterday's New York Times poll, particularly when you judge Democrats in Congress versus the Republicans in Congress, people put a little more faith, or even a little more than a little more faith in the Democrats in Congress.

I believe certain members of the U.S. Congress have aided in the oppression and diversion of critical information that could have revealed a fullness of truth long ago.
The truth is the Republican leadership has created a credit card Congress that is recklessly selling out the future of America, our children and our grandchildren, and President Bush is the most fiscally irresponsible President in the history of America.

Break, Recess: She Stayed Away
For need beyond comprehension
She takes and needs a recess that causes tension
In respect it’s accepted lest we contradict the sensation
“Not long”, she has stated; trust is taken by she by mention
“Beyond the break, think not”; aye there’ll be adhesion
Wish it was that easily done as said in satisfaction
Withdrawal is the policy; break is the regulation
Wonder is no longer mystery, mystery is insinuation
Science told me not to; withdrawal draws aggression
Respect, respect, hers I respect decision
Bearing the big flamy eye
All was kept from my sky
Never had I ever seen my conversation die
I in reality will keep off and never try
My mind whirled; and tumultuously yet easily like a pie
No caveat emptor so I never saw it nigh
I had to not accept, but this was by no means a lie
She needs exemption, from others and I
Why didn’t she see that I am free;
Now that ‘I met her’ I love in a spree?
Doesn’t she see how high, if love it is,
She has me on its tree?
Is morning a thought borne of a night;
Or will it without her now remain a decree?
Vowed she did, never will I her lose;
Does she with that still agree?
Wonder ceases not of whether from she,
This is dessert, main course or entrée
