The political system is not for the people. The people are secondary to the economy. It's about what generates money, not about what benefits the people. (Ambrose Stephen)
“And when they hear politicians slap - you know, thanking one another, it just, you know, it kind of cuts them the wrong way right now, because literally there was a body on the streets of this town yesterday being eaten by rats because this woman had been laying in the street for 48 hours.” (Ambrose Stephen)
“Congress and the public have made it clear they expect the FDA to ensure the lowest risk feasible concerning transmission of serious infectious diseases by donated blood and blood components.” (Ambrose Stephen)
(Saddam) will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some day, some way, I am certain he will use that arsenal again, as he has 10 times since 1983 (Ambrose Stephen)

America has a unique role. When our national interests are involved, if we don’t lead, very often things don’t happen. (Ambrose Stephen)
But I think the president expressed the overall sentiment that more democracy, not less, will be good for Hong Kong and good for China. (Ambrose Stephen)
Saddam Hussein can’t dictate who the inspectors are. It’s like the bank robber saying he gets to choose the police. (Ambrose Stephen)
Sure, after Bush took office, the Administration could have acted upon the intelligence provided by Able Danger, but if the information was buried, then they probably weren’t even aware of it. (Ambrose Stephen)
I hope events unfold as he suggests, but I’m not yet there. I heard the president, for example, say that some Sunnis were in support of this (Ambrose Stephen)
My intention to vote for Judge Roberts tomorrow should in no way be construed as a weather vane for how I might vote on the next nominee, … In the past I have not hesitated to vote against several of the president’s nominees to the Courts of Appeal when they carried the ideological and activist baggage that I believe would be disruptive to our society. (Ambrose Stephen)
My sense is that, when you look at what people such as former Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein have said over the years, you don’t go with a story unless you have two independent sources to confirm it. (Ambrose Stephen)
The United States Senate is not here to just staple the paperwork on this deal and then salute it. We’ve got to go in there with an editing pencil, not a rubber stamp. (Ambrose Stephen)
There is an old saying that all roads lead to Rome. It seems the administration so often clearly believes that no matter what the evidence was at any particular time, essentially everything led to Saddam Hussein. (Ambrose Stephen)
We shouldn’t accept mediocrity as the best a politician can do, (Ambrose Stephen)
As majority and minority leader of the Senate, Trent Lott improved education for the American people; he led the way in securing tax relief; he strengthened our national security; and he stood for a bold and effective foreign policy. Trent is a valued friend and a man I respect. (Ambrose Stephen)
Howard Dean is not the first politician to distort facts in his own interests. But many activists in the party he now leads are puzzled over what he thinks he is accomplishing politically. Is it good politics to contend that Iraq was better off under Saddam Hussein than even a flawed Islamic republic? Does it make sense politically to tell Americans that more than 1,800 troops have died to make life worse for half of Iraq’s population? (Ambrose Stephen)
I‘m personally outraged that we would decapitate the commander in chief at a time when we are at war abroad. Republicans sacrificed the national security by doing so. To be spending time of this House to smear our commander in chief when brave men and women are risking their lives for their country shocks the conscience. (Ambrose Stephen)
If Communism goes, I’ve still got the U.S. House of Representatives. (Ambrose Stephen)
Nobody in the Bush administration called me to leak this (Ambrose Stephen)
We would want to exhaust every possible means for a peaceful solution, and I think that is the vocation of the Security Council. (Ambrose Stephen)
Readers did not always agree with his [Cook’s] views but admire him for standing up for his principles - which they find a rare quality among politicians. (Ambrose Stephen)
All politicians should have 3 hats - one to throw into the ring, one to talk through, and one to pull rabbits out of if elected. (Ambrose Stephen)
The most acceptable hypocrisy. (Ambrose Stephen)
I loved Clinton; not as a Democrat, but as a person. (Ambrose Stephen)
I took Bobby Kennedy through the delta and he cried like a baby. (Ambrose Stephen)
