Kerry Quotations

It was sort of that in-between area when people don't talk about their personal lives. That's the kind of life I think Kerry would be living now if it weren't for the Lopez character sort of outing her.

Kerry Washington is a mentor to me. She is so strong and smart. She's also so giving and supportive.

I like that show 'Ray Donovan' - I'm obsessed with that. He's in Hollywood, he's some kind of a fixer, but he's also kind of a thug. And 'Scandal,' the D.C. one with Kerry Washington.

When John Kerry and Zell Miller and George Bush can agree on an issue, you know its got legs.

You've got people who didn't serve with John Kerry saying they did serve with John Kerry in the boat. With George Bush, we can't find anybody who did serve with him.

Everybody who served in John Kerry's boat under his command, save one, has stood with him.

Kerry is an adult - he thinks things through. He learns from the present as well as the past. To George Bush, thinking things through is for sissies.

John Kerry's biography was central to his campaign.

John Kerry couldn't even order a Philly cheesesteak properly.

It's remarkable that the failures of the Obama, Clinton, Kerry foreign policy are not only uniting the Left and Right in Israel but might even be creating some common ground between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

John Kerry was always in front of the camera but not out doing the hard work.

My sense is that at least in this state, Kerry is playing to tie on the foreign policy questions and the so-called values issues, the shorthand for which is God and guns. He comes into Ohio and he talks about being a sportsman, he talks about his military record, he talks about his faith, but he probably can't win on those issues,

Only one in every four people under 35 voted in the last election and Gore still won. So if we get more young people to vote, we can get the landslide we deserve and we could really reap the benefits of what John Kerry stands for.

On the question of America's role in the world, the differences between Senator Kerry and President Bush are the sharpest, and the stakes for the country are the highest,

Of course, Bush was worse. ... John Kerry was a corporatist and a militarist. George Bush was a proto-fascist and a genuine threat.

Of course, it is still eight months to election day, but the campaign is starting to fall into its own natural rhythm: falsely macho Kerry comment, falsely indignant Bush response.

Of course not, no. Less chance than John Kerry and George W. Bush dropping out.

No other past presidential candidate, with the exception of McCain, has done what Kerry has done in terms of converting his presidential campaign into a grass-roots political and legislative operation. He's dedicated to electing Democrats.

Maybe John Kerry does not know - but I am happy to explain it to him - that my commitment to withdraw the troops goes back before the tragic, dramatic terrorist attack.

potentially the single greatest private sector investment in cricket since the Kerry Packer revolution 28 years ago.

Obviously, Kerry has all but said he wants another crack at the thing. He's going to make a second try.

Richard Kerry not only was a pilot in World War II, but was a civil servant. He did not come from money.

If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is President, people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.

We need a president who will keep you safe. John Kerry will do that,

Let's take a deep breath here. I guess what's frustrating is that Senator Kerry was just at our conference making terrific proposals that would benefit the immigrant community.

Senator Kerry denounces American action when other countries don't approve -- as if the whole object of our foreign policy were to please a few persistent critics,

Senator Kerry had one bar to meet coming into this debate and that is he had to establish some type of credibility on the issue of Iraq. Not only did he fail to do that, but he further undermined his own credibility.

Senator Kerry is very relaxed. He's very much at peace. He's confident. He feels the debates have gone well. He's looking forward to the Boston Red Sox winning.

Senator Kerry supported NAFTA and other trade agreements, ... I was against NAFTA and some of the trade agreements that he was for, and I think they've cost us millions of jobs. And I think voters need to see the difference in our views on what needs to be done about trade and how trade can work for America and American workers.

Sen. Kerry is strong and fit, and in no time he will be able to return to the rigorous lifestyle he enjoys with no impact on his long-term health.

Sen. Kerry's statement ... in Illinois was unbecoming of a candidate for the presidency ... and ... we call on Senator Kerry to apologize to the American people for this negative attack.

We won't be the favorites because Kerry and Misty are still the No. 1 team. But I hope we're some of the fans' favorites.

John Kerry, windsurfing dilettante

I hate to say it, but maybe there's a bet that if Kerry wins, (former Secretary of the Treasury) Robert Rubin will take over as Fed chairman, and the market would like that.

Kerry brings broad international experience and high performance standards from one of the most respected companies in the world.

Kerry Burke was our number one fielder today and she scored the run that got us on the board and that was definitely important. We did leave a lot of runners (nine) in scoring position today, but for the most part I was happy to see that we were getting the bat on the ball.

Kerry did adequately well ... He had no running game and our pass protection slipped.

Kerry didn't show up at the Speed Queen or Leon's, but he had no trouble eating a filet mignon and asparagus at a lakefront restaurant instead, ... It will be interesting to see whether Kerry's cuisine matches his rhetoric in Kansas City tomorrow.

Kerry enjoyed being in New York. He enjoyed this group. The guy can still do it and I know he'll be up for the challenge. It's going to be tough seeing him wearing that Raiders' black.

Kerry gave the (Houston) safety a quick pump and he just went flying to Randy. They actually had a guy underneath and both safeties running to him. When (Collins) threw the ball outside to Doug, it's a big play.

Kerry gets excited for every game, and I'm sure he'll be a little more here. But you know, he's played enough and he knows you've got to go play. And you've got to play within what we're doing and what the defense is giving us opportunities to do.

Kerry had an opportunity in the debates to show the American people his strength and conviction and to lay out his plans, and people have responded very positively to that. So we see trends nationally moving in our direction and trends in battleground states moving towards us as well.

Kerry Healey never wavered, never relented and never forgot what was at stake in that fight.

Kerry is a guy who shows great character. He's a guy who's stuck in there. It's hard, because every game he plays is like an away game because he's got the crowd booing him and all that stuff. I give him a lot of credit to come in here and work hard every week like he does. Sometimes people put a lot of pressure on the quarterback, but there are other reasons why sometimes there's interceptions or the offense isn't doing so well. It's disappointing to see everyone put it on his shoulders.

Kerry is a marquee quarterback and has the ability to lead on and off the field. We are confident that Kerry will pick up where he left off last season and will be comfortable with us.

Kerry is evolving into an elite quarterback in this league. One of the top guys who is going to play this game. And as he goes on, there's no limit to him right now. He's come so far and handled himself so well. There's no limit. He's got tremendous talent.

I would think that would depend on who we talk to, what is available. I think Kerry did adequately well considering other factors maybe not seen by the press or fans. I think he did reasonably well. We had no running game and our pass protection slipped.

There are still a lot of questions about whether or not the Kerry campaign benefited from the information Berger took.

He likes being with the team and we like having Kerry around,

Great teams always have superstar players scoring goals or on defense. They always seem to have marquee players. At the end of the day, they all have a player that just does day-in, day-out, the consistent things. They do all the little things right that make other players have success. Kerry was like that when I (first) saw her.

I am proud to call Lieutenant John Kerry my shipmate, and I am ready to follow him to victory in November,

I believe the president should have been given the authority he was given. I believe it's a very good thing that Saddam is gone. ... I think at the time it was the right thing to do to give the president that authority. I think if we'd have given John Kerry that authority we'd be in a very different place because he would have built a coalition to be successful.

Bush will paint Kerry as being a tax-and-spend liberal and Kerry will paint bush as only providing tax cuts for the rich.

What I'm looking for tonight is the results here in Georgia. Can Edwards have a comeback here? Can he win the Minnesota caucuses? Can he keep it close in New York and Ohio? And barring a miracle, I mean a real miracle, John Kerry will be within a stone's throw of winning the nomination.

What I said is demonstrably true. The record and votes that I cited on behalf of Senator Kerry are easy to cite and check. President Bush's record of honorable discharge from the National Guard is also just as easy to check. This kind of political discourse is reprehensible.

We're in the process of making that decision right now. It's not about Kerry as much as it is about us (and) where we are, realistically.

I look forward to strengthening the U.S.-U.N. partnership and working closely with Secretary of State Kerry towards our shared goals of peace, development, and human rights.

How you look saying something matters. Kerry has to look warmer, fuzzier, more comfortable and more likable.

He was a legendary character. He dwarfed the other guys (noted whales the Sultan of Brunei and Adnan Khashoggi , the arms dealer). Kerry played higher, and he played for 40 years.

We look forward to a vigorous debate with the Kerry campaign on the issues. We welcome the opportunity to discuss the terms at the appropriate time,

He has to go negative on Kerry because Democrats don't see any reason not to vote for Kerry. They're perfectly happy with him,

He would have been keen about the crowd here today - a packed house. Kerry was a great character, a really great character, so my life would have been less interesting without having known him all those years.

History has shown that a strong and purposeful America is vital to preserving freedom and keeping us safe. Yet time and again, Senator Kerry has made the wrong call on national security.

His stock has risen considerably, and given the circumstances in our entire pool, Kerry is going to be in there right until the end when we're looking to finalize our roster.

I firmly believe that as voters come to learn more and more about John Kerry and learn more and more about his message that they're going to want a President who is willing to address the fact that we didn't have a post-war plan in Iraq.

I will work closely with John Kerry to make sure we beat George Bush in November and turn our country around.

Let me say that if John Kerry is the nominee I'm going to support him, ... Second of all, if John Kerry were the nominee, I'd advise him not to pick me because you don't need two people from New England on the ticket. I will do whatever I can to beat George Bush.

I sat next to an actor who told me he didn't know anything about John Kerry except he had been a doctor. I realized it truly is another planet.

Pictures can be devastating. Who allowed John Kerry to get himself photographed windsurfing in a flowered swimsuit? Anyone in the real world in that operation?

President Bush decided to give Sen. Kerry the respect of more time to reflect on the results of this election, ... The president will be making a statement later today.

Real strength is telling the truth when troops are being killed, and one year later a lot of Americans realize John Kerry had it both right and consistent about Iraq and this president's still got it dead wrong.

Our objective is to show the personal side of Sen. Kerry -- his character, his Vietnam service, his leadership qualities,

I saw you on TV today saying Kerry Collins has no chance of being a starting QB option no matter where he lands this year. I wonder why you say that when Collins is a much better QB than the current starters in Arizona, Baltimore, Dallas, Miami and San Francisco.

I saw some war heroes... John Kerry is not a war hero. He couldn't tie the shoes of some of the people in Coastal Division 11.

I think what we saw in John Kerry last night was a strength of conviction, a vision that we want to see in the president of the United States, ... I think he looked and sounded like a commander-in-chief. to be honest with you, I think the American people saw the John Kerry that I know. This man is ready to keep this country safe. He is ready to finish the job and be successful in Iraq.

I think the race is clearly narrowing. If you look at the results in Tennessee and Virginia tonight and look at the results of the week before where I won in South Carolina and I beat Sen. Kerry in Oklahoma, this is becoming very focused, ... He's in front and I'm the underdog. We're going to have a tough contest here in Wisconsin but this is going to go on for weeks to come.

I thought it was a strong night for the Republicans, John McCain talking about national security defense and foreign terrorism. I think Rudy Giuliani did a pretty good job of mixing criticism of John Kerry -- and talking about the president and his efforts on the war on terror. It was a good start. The only question is: How does it build? And will Vice President Cheney and President Bush close the deal?

I think it would be difficult for Kerry to prove that the tax cuts were not effective.

I think Kerry was pretty upset. He enjoyed being in New York. He misses us as much as many of us miss him. It's going to be tough to see him wearing Raiders black and silver.

It depends on the health of everybody, obviously. When we get Wade Miller and Kerry healthy, we're going to probably have seven starters, so we'll see what happens.

I will reach out to John Kerry unless he reaches out to me first.

John Kerry and I made a promise to the US people that in this election every vote would count and every vote would be counted. Tonight we are keeping our word and we will fight for every vote

John Kerry could debate himself for ninty minutes.

John Kerry deserves credit for continuing to take himself so seriously, despite the fact that no one else does.

John Kerry didn't out me, nor did he offend or attack me by calling me a lesbian. I certainly couldn't be offended by the truth.

John Kerry had a very vivid imagination as a young person. I mean, he actually did go and take his bicycle from Norway to go camp in Sherwood Forest to be around the ghost of Robin Hood.

John Kerry had his back against the wall, and in January turned his campaign completely around.

John Kerry has a 35-year consistent record of fighting for people. ... And we welcome the debate.

John Kerry has a record in the military that he's running on, not from. Everything the U.S. Navy sent to Sen. Kerry, we'll post on the Web site.

John Kerry has fought again and again to extend unemployment benefits for workers left behind in the Bush economy. The reason we haven't succeeded is because George Bush opposes extending unemployment insurance, and so do his allies.

John Kerry has fought for middle-class tax relief and has proposed new middle-class tax cuts in this campaign,

John Kerry has made up a false measurement to support his ongoing efforts to talk down the economy, ... John Kerry's support for higher taxes on small business, Social Security benefits and gasoline would bring misery to America's working families.

John Kerry has played politics with homeland security throughout this campaign, and his attacks today are no exception.

John Kerry has what it takes right here to be president of the United States, ... I, for one, intend to do everything in my power to make him the next president of the United States, and I ask you to join me in this cause.

John Kerry has what it takes ... to be president of the United States,

John Kerry is either willing to endanger American forces on the ground or he really believes that ignoring the presence of terrorists is the best policy for the safety of America.
