Famous quotes by Mitch McConnell:

"If they'd like to run against President Bush, ... I question whether they are smart enough to take over the job."

"[But what about the continuing great economic news under Clinton? Lott offered kudos:] I agree that Bill and Al deserve a lot of credit, but I'm talking about Bill Gates and Alan Greenspan. ... I agree that Bill and Al are responsible for the prosperity we are currently enjoying across America. That's Bill Gates and Alan Greenspan."

"This is not about Republicans battling Democrats or the left versus the right, ... This is a mission to preserve fundamental constitutional freedom for all Americans to fully participate in our democracy."

"[Proponents -- mostly Democrats -- are threatening to tie up the Senate unless Lott schedules proceedings soon. The opponents?] Bring on the debate, ... We're ready for it."

"We ought to do it in a comprehensive way and not leave out some of the major players on the American political scene,"

"I hope the president may have concluded that his comments about the legitimacy of the new president were inappropriate, ... I hope we don't hear that anymore."

"I mean, we're going to have to pry his hands off the door and search him to get the key back to the White House,"

"I have been one of the Republicans who has been somewhat skeptical about needing witnesses but I must say after listening to the presentations yesterday and today, unless the president's lawyers want to stipulate most of the facts, it appears as if the argument for live witnesses is strengthening."

"The new troops in Iraq need to be Iraqi troops."

"Elections are breaking out in the strangest places: Afghanistan, Iraq, the Palestinian territories, Georgia, Ukraine. A genuine election in Lebanon would be a darn good thing."

"Things happen in American politics in the political center. If the President will meet us in the center, there are things we can accomplish."

"Are we still a country that takes risks, that innovates, that believes anything is possible? Or are we a country that is resigned to whatever liberty the government decides to dish out?"

"By their own admission, leaders of the Republican Revolution of 1994 think their greatest mistake was overlooking the power of the veto. They gave the impression they were somehow in charge when they weren't."

"The fact is, if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill; to end the bailouts; cut spending; and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things."

"I think the important thing to remember here is that we haven't been attacked again at home since September of 2001."

"The president feels not only do we need to change these rogue regimes, but even our friendly allies, who really basically have, sort of, benign dictatorships, need to get with the program if they want to have long-term security and prosperity from terrorism."

"America is about to turn the page on Barack Obama's four-year experiment in big government."

"For four years, Barack Obama has been running from the nation's problems. He hasn't been working to earn reelection. He's been working to earn a spot on the PGA tour."

"We hear the stories every day now: the father who puts on a suit every morning and leaves the house so his daughter doesn't know he lost his job, the recent college grad facing up to the painful reality that the only door that's open to her after four years of study and a pile of debt is her parents'. These are the faces of the Obama economy."

"Mitt Romney has spent his entire life finding ways to solve problems."
