The difference between Martin Sheen and George W. Bush is Martin Sheen is actually convincing when he acts like he’s president.

If George W. Bush is given a second term, and retains a Republican Congress and a compliant federal judiciary, he and his allies are likely to embark on a campaign of political retribution the likes of which we haven‘t seen since Richard Nixon.

If you‘re a limited government conservative, I feel your pain. Your man Mr. Bush has exploded the size of government, ballooned the deficit and increased government power so dramatically that he claims the right to eavesdrop on your conversations without a warrant.

Ah yes! Conservatives. Some of the finest minds of the 12th Century.

I mean, for all of his faults and the troubles in his marriage, Bill Clinton is still married to a girl he met in the library 25 years ago at school. Can we say that about many of our other leaders today in America, including on the right wing?

I was the guy that told Bill Clinton he was going to win. I had gotten the final polling numbers. He had a comfortable lead. He was not going to lose.

Politics is show business for ugly people.

I grew up in Tom DeLay‘s district.

My view was that the campaign had been a sacred thing, that it had been a real compact, because I was there and I saw the connection that Clinton made with people, and the connection that they made with him.

Never interrupt your opponent when he’s destroying himself.

It taught me that Clinton’s instinct to make this about your life as a citizen, rather than his as a human being, was the right answer to these things.

One of the problems we saw in the last presidential election in our party is that our nominee, while winning the election, which we ought never to forget, often lost sight of the difference between strategy and tactics.

Well, I have a message for the nameless , gutless whimperers out there. Quit whining. Unlike some other shows, we here at CROSSFIRE actually present both sides of the issue. … Look, if you want namby-pamby one-sided arguments go to Fox.

When your mission is to restore honor and integrity to the White House, you’ve got to be willing to use any means necessary.

Bill and Hillary Clinton are the most investigated couple in American history – now the most thoroughly exonerated couple in American history.

Rick Perry is the perfect candidate for those who thought George W. Bush was just too dang cerebral. And Adios, Mofo is the perfect guide to his record, his rhetoric and his remarkable hair. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll vote.

I didn’t spend a lot of time on national security the American people will be glad to know.

Most politicians, when they meet with a guy like me, or a guy like Carville, tell you about how they can win.

But I think what happened was that Clinton knew how to fight back. And the way he fought back was on the issues – being tough in staying on the things that mattered to people in their lives.

There’s the great line: the definition of a liberal is someone who’s afraid to take their own side in a fight. And that’s my problem with my fellow liberals.

I used to go in at 5:30 or 6:00 so I could run.

I’m a Catholic, but I used to love going to Vacation Bible School with my fundamentalist friends.
