Voted Quotations

Bipartisanship has taken us to the brink of bankruptcy. We don't need bipartisanship, we need application of principle... Where was the call for bipartisanship during the Obamacare debate? Not a single Republican voted for it. It wasn't about bipartisanship, it was about having the votes to dictate your will.

I'd vote for Mickey Mouse before I voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin.

I thought that the administration needed bipartisan support, and I was for our commander-in-chief. Because I felt at that time it was the right thing do. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never voted for the war.

Too often, it seems, conservatives have scorned experts as incompetent, biased, or otherwise worth ignoring because they came up with answers that didn't fit their politically desired answer. Often, they proclaim experts have a liberal bias. Of course, plenty of Democrats have voted for conservative ideas, but that is beside the point.

My friend Paul Ryan talks about fiscal responsibility, but voted to put two wars on a credit card.

I was voted by my high school senior class as most likely to recede.

I was voted valedictorian, and at my school it wasn't based on grades; that was the popular vote.

I have never been a Conservative, or at least not since being a young teenager. My father voted Conservative, and even his doing that was a hangover from the '50s and '60s, which may have been an influence on me.

I'm so, so full of joy that America elected Obama. He didn't win because he was black - people voted for him because he had a plan and because he talked sense and because you believed him.

I like being in control of making all the major decisions pertaining to my projects. That's something that you don't get to do in a group. Everything has to be voted on - every minor decision.

There is little doubt that the majority of Mr. Mill's supporters in 1865 did not know what his political opinions were, and that they voted for him simply on his reputation as a great thinker.

When I voted against the cap-and-trade bill, the phone rang and it was the chief of staff of the president of the United States of America, Rahm Emanuel, and he started swearing at me in terms and words that I hadn't heard since that crossing the line ceremony on the USS New Jersey in 1983.

Christ would not vote for Barack Obama, because Barack Obama has voted to behave in a way that it is inconceivable for Christ to have behaved.

There has been an awful lot of time and money spent looking at the president over the last four years The American people saw through those investigations. They voted for the president. And despite all of this time and attention, nothing has turned up because the president and the first lady did nothing wrong.

And I always voted at my party's call,And I never thought of thinking for myself at all.

I'm not a supporter of ObamaCare. I voted to repeal it, to defund it, et cetera. But we do need to move on.

The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped. It's played a significant part in public disillusionment with politics and has led to the absurd situation where more people vote for 'Strictly Come Dancing' than voted in the general election.

I was voted least likely to manage a business when I was at Dickinson College.

That President Mohammad Khatami's policies have been blocked is the bitterest incident in the contemporary Iranian history. This means that the wishes of millions of people who voted for Khatami and called for freedom and justice have been ignored... Why should cultural activities and journalism be so risky in Iran?

I've voted in every election - not always for the same political party and never with any degree of enthusiasm.

Just as the England football manager starts with bells and flags and balloons and ends up reviled, so do prime ministers. Tony Blair - is there anyone more despised now? Gordon Brown - all right, nobody voted for him but, you know... just think of any of them. Margaret Thatcher. John Major. Steve McLaren. Fabio Capello.

I always vote for the guy I think can get it done. And it ain't nobody's business who I vote for, but I voted for Clinton twice. And that just blows people's minds when they hear that.

I don't vote. I voted Labour once, in that moment of euphoria. I know that if people only made a voice for change, then change will happen, but I'm not that person. I'm painting pictures.

Whether you voted for me or not, going through the Democratic process had made me a better candidate. I am a smarter, better candidate.

I think everybody knows that on November 7th more people voted for Al Gore than George Bush, a fact that has been documented time and time again.

The name 'The Beach Boys' is controlled by Brother Records Inc., which was founded by the original members of the Beach Boys and whose sole shareholders voted over a decade ago to grant me an exclusive license to tour as 'The Beach Boys.' With it, I've felt a great responsibility to uphold, honor and further our legacy.

I think TV is all about caring, and if you don't care about a character in a drama or a person when they get voted out of a reality show, it's bad TV. I wouldn't care if you dropped a bomb on the 'Big Brother' house.

The United States Supreme Court has voted 6-3 that voter photo ID is constitutional.

I voted no on the resolution to give the president authority to go to war against Iraq. I was able to apply caveat emptor. Most of my colleagues could not.

I would be lying if I said I'm not flattered being voted as the 'Time's' Most Desirable Man of 2012. Frankly, I have no idea how the desirability quotient is arrived at. If it is just drop dead good looks, then I have to thank God and my parents for it.

When the students were killed at Kent State, the cast voted to do a demonstration from the stage, and I abstained.

We certainly could have voted on making the middle-class tax cuts and tax cuts for working families permanent had the Republicans not insisted that the only way they would support those tax breaks is if we also added $700 billion to the deficit to give tax breaks to the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. That's what was really disturbing.

I've repeatedly voted for sanctions against Iran. And I think all options should be on the table to prevent them from having nuclear weapons.

I would be open about the fact that, clearly, politicians should be able to speak to each other. David Cameron doesn't seem to accept this, but if the British people have voted then of course you have to try and provide good stable government.

I voted for Nader, and I have no doubts at all that it was the right thing to do because the Nader candidacy was extremely energising and a terrific phenomenon in American life, and I hope he continues.

I pay my taxes, but I've never voted and I never will vote as long as the system works the way it does. Even when Obama was running, I wanted to see a woman run! I'd rather see a woman in the White House as opposed to Obama.

One of the reasons she was voted unanimous all league is because as a setter she was such a pivotal part of what we did. She has to make adjustments to all the hitters plus make the plays, plus make the plays she needs to and she did a good job doing those things without getting rattled. She had to make all those split-second decisions and she did a good job with that.

One of the senators who voted with us in committee and against us on the floor is here.

On September 14th, we voted unanimously to send our troops into action against the perpetrators of the cowardly and heinous attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. That was our constitutional duty, and it is one that none of us takes lightly,

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.

Nice try. I know that those guys can get in and out of appointments at a whim so he can come out and address those people that voted him into office.

Life is full of joys and sorrows, much of it our own making. Sadly, the West has voted time and time again for bigger government, more inflation, higher taxes and excessive regulation - all policies that have kept us from Adam Smith's vision of an opulent society.

One reason I voted for him and voted against Alberto Gonzalez (for attorney general) is that Gonzalez could not find the words to say that torture is illegal and that the President is not above the law. Roberts could.

More voted for Al Gore than Gov. Bush,

No one has signed on to his view that the benefits are illegal. He has been authorized to make that argument in his own name but not on behalf of the City Council or the City of San Diego, ... I would never have voted to authorize him to litigate this illegality issue if the retirement board hadn't brought it up.

No one should be afraid of more sunshine -- that's what this bill is about. That is something the majority of legislators have voted for and something a very broad coalition has backed, and we believe the Commerce Department does not want to stand in the way of that.

My dad was a congressman, and he taught me at a very early age, 'They voted for me, they view me as theirs, and I am.' Our family's phone in Memphis was always listed. It rang all day and all night.

politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing the use of force against Saddam Hussein .

Perhaps they're hoping that Californians are so distracted by the unfolding tragedy in New Orleans that they won't notice their out-of-control politicians in Sacramento. Gov. Schwarzenegger has the power to terminate this radical plan to create counterfeit marriage. He can either side with the 61 percent of Californians who voted to protect marriage in a statewide initiative, or he can side with the radical Democrats.

I don't know who voted in instant replay, but it about stopped my heart.

I grew up a Democrat. I've supported members in both parties. I've always voted for a person, not a party.

Let the assistant coach come up to me and say, 'Gerry McNamara is overrated.' I'd like to see one of those guys come up to me and say that. He's been double-teamed all year, and the coaches voted him first team all-conference. The head coaches, they don't know (expletive), I guess.

Let's remember that in 1992 and 1993, Bill Bradley supported a special-interest tax loophole that was a boondoggle for the pharmaceutical industry and then-Senator Gore voted against that in 1992.

Me and my friend voted for me as a joke.

Most people realize that this administration has done almost nothing to perpetuate the views that many of the people held when they voted for them on Cuba politics. I believe Cuba is about to become a focus again. This is all stuff to gear up for the electoral cycle. The spy case was an attempt to put up some points on the Republican side.

Sheldon was voted the laziest player on the team last year by his teammates. Hands down. But this year, he was voted the hardest worker. It's been a complete 180 degree turnaround.

She really started playing well at the end of the year, that game especially. It?s a tremendous honor to be an All-State player. Being voted one of the top four players in the league is a big accomplishment.

She came in and enjoyed some success as a freshman and sophomore and then she got voted as a captain. She's been a tremendous leader, a solid performer and we're going to miss her bright smile every day.

When I was a teenager, just about the only thing I could do right was play music. In my graduating class, I was certainly not voted 'Most Literary Boy.' I can assure you I was not voted 'Mostly Likely to Succeed.' I was voted 'Most Musical Boy.' And the music led to the poetry.

So many bad things have happened, they are afraid to hope. Until it's actually voted on by the commission, they're afraid to have any trust in the process.

So far, this commission is going along 66 percent of the time. But those 33-34 percent where they voted against the department were the big bases.

On an ideological level, Senator Nelson is not in touch with the mainstream of Florida, ... He has voted against tax relief that has been passed by the Republican majority in Congress. He votes to protect the trial lawyers against reform of frivolous lawsuits. We think a Republican challenger is going to do very well if they contrast his record to the Republican positions.

She's a leader, and she doesn't have to say much to be one. She's been selected as our teammate of the year for several years, and that's something that's voted on by the players.

Half the people who voted for him last time are looking for an alternative. Your poll shows that he can be beaten without the need for a runoff in a primary and that he is unelectable in the general election.

He listened carefully, he listened thoughtfully. He did not respond to challenges or views that were presented. I do think he felt this should be a vote of conscience and I think in the end he voted his conscience, and I think at the end of the day that speaks volumes about his leadership.

I don't believe it had to do with problems with the search. We believe it had to do with the pressure put on the city by people who voted in this initiative.

I did not choose necessarily on the basis of significance, ... If you have a vote for the most significant athlete, then you have Ali, then you have Babe Ruth, then you have Michael Jordan. They changed the face of sports. But I voted purely on what I considered to be athletic ability, and if I had anything in the back of my mind it was, 'If you put these guys on a field and they played each other in 20 sports, who would win the most?' I think Jim Brown would win the most, and I think Chamberlain would be awfully close.

I can't remember in 1980 who I voted for. I wish I could tell you.

Fox Reality is the destination this March for 'American Idol' fans who can't get enough of this show and the contestants. Never before have viewers been allowed to see the intimate and emotional back stage reactions following a contestant being voted off. We are excited to be the ones to bring it to the fans.

Forty-four senators have now voted to dismiss the articles of impeachment, ... The president will not be removed from office. For the good of the country and in keeping with the Constitution it is now time to end this trial. We are here not to protect the president of the United States; we were here to protect the Constitution and we have done so faithfully and fully.

For us to do anything close to unanimous is great for us. People who don't often vote together voted tonight to move this system forward.

If all 6,200 of us get to vote on it, then we would probably be a little more committed to it because we voted it in ourselves.

I believe that the addition of the 12th regular-season game would make any playoff even more difficult. I find little support for a playoff among presidents of major universities, and I believe some voted for the 12th game in lieu of that.
