AL GORE QUOTES
"I accept the finality of this outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College. And tonight, for the sake of our unity as the people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession."
"As for the battle that ends tonight, I do believe that as my father once said that no matter how hard the loss, defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out."
"And now my friends in a phrase I once addressed to others, it's time for me to go. Thank you, and goodnight, and God bless America."
"The Republican leadership insists on going through a charade and passing that bill of goods they've been trying to promote. President Clinton will veto it in a minute. It has zero chance of going past his desk because it's a fraud."
"I traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth, environmental protection, and improvements in our educational system."
"With the Republican front-runner raising all this cash out there, all these big bucks, the one thing that we have going for us as Democrats is the issues. They always have more money on the Republican side; we generally have the people agreeing with us about the issues."
"I have told the truth, I have cooperated fully, and I don't want people to have the impression that I'm trying to hide something here. I am not. I want you to see it all."
"I will take my own values of faith and family to the presidency, to build an America that is not only better off, but better! And that is why today, I announce that I am a candidate for president of the United States!"
"Thank you for helping the communications double issue become a reality for all Americans."
"Starting about a month ago, I began to hear the music of this campaign year and connect with the American people in a new way."
"As I've said in the past, I do think that he damaged the office, but I think that he's recovered from that, and I think that the American people put that in a broader perspective."
"We are two different people."
"We need to fight against violence in schools and school buildings."
"We know what would happen if the Republicans won in November. We cannot go back to the division and neglect and deviousness of the Reagan-Bush years."
"In the Republican party today, I think it's obvious the right end doesn't know what the far right end is doing. I've been using that line for a little humor, but I think that it really kind of played out in reality this week."
"I felt that what the president did, particularly as a father, I felt that it was inexcusable."
"I have never been for vouchers, I have always opposed vouchers, and I always will oppose vouchers."
"I want to do it the right way not by letting people fend for themselves or hoping for crumbs of compassion."
"I believe that Mr. LaPierre's comment reveals a kind of sickness at the very heart of the NRA."
"I would say to the current Republican front-runner, 'Why don't you join us in the effort to take the weapons of evil out of the hands of evil-doers? That would do a lot of good in this county.'"
"Finally, a majority in the United States Senate. With the help of half a dozen Republicans whose courage in crossing the aisles should be recognized also; finally this majority is turning the corner and helping to protect the children and families of this country."
JOE LIEBERMAN QUOTES
"There's an old saying that behind every successful man, there's a surprised mother-in-law. [Lots of laughing and cheering] Well, I can tell you, that this week, that's been particulary true."
"Our opponents are decent, and they are likeable men. And many of their party are my friends, but America must understand there are very real differences between us in this election. Two weeks ago, our Republican friends actually tried to walk and talk a lot like us. Did you notice?"
"That also is why I continue to say, when it comes to affirmative action, mend it, but please don't end it."
"Tonight, I am so proud to stand as your candidate for vice-president of the United States!"
BILL CLINTON QUOTES
"The word 'scandal' has been thrown around here like a climbing teapot for seven years, and I keep waiting for somebody to say... I know that there was one columnist in the Washington Post that had the uncommon decency to say, 'Will no one ever stand up here and say that a whole bunch of this stuff was just garbage? And that we had totally innocent people prosectued because they wouldn't lie? We had totally innocent people's lives wrecked because they wouldn't go along with this alleged scandal machine?' So let's be careful, let's be specific."
"I am well aware that this has been a difficult time for all the parties involved, but let's remember, as I said from the outset, 'The most important thing was to treat this in a lawful manner, according to the established process.'"
"I'm not running for anything, I am not on the ballot; I am telling you this as an American, I have waited for thirty long years to see my country in a position to pull together and move forward together and build the future of our dreams for our children. We dare not blow that chance! Thank you, and God bless you."
"You know, it's bad enough that I've got to give up being president, now I've got to give up being the funny one in my family."
"There was no attempt to regulate the content or tell people what they had to put into it. Of course I wouldn't support that."
"We have a huge hunting and sport-shooting culture in America, and unlike many of you, I grew up in it. I was twelve years old first time I took a .22 and shot it at a can on a fencepost in the country. I know about this."
"It is true that we have had a rise in the availability of weapons. It is also true that there has bean coarsening of the culture in many ways, and those who influence it must be sensitive to that."
HILLARY CLINTON QUOTES
Coming soon!
JESSE JACKSON QUOTES
"Let's honor the voter. Let's choose a leader based upon who got the most votes. At this point nationally, Gore has the most votes."
"Life is not a straight line, curves in the road, some mountains and some valleys; but through it all, thanks be to God we're still here."
"With a fundamental seachain in national power, national politics, with the conditions that we must face that we didn't face this time a year ago; but in the end we judge an administration by its budget priorities, and you judge it by its public policies, and you judge it by its moral tone."
"I say America, stay out the Bushes! Stay out the Bushes! Stay out the Bushes!
TED KENNEDY QUOTES
"Senator Ashcroft is so far out of the mainstream that he has said citizens need to be armed in order to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. Our government, tyrannical?"
FOX'S FAMILY GUY
"Hey Lois, look! The two symbols of the Republican party: an elephant; and a big, fat, white guy who's threatened by change!" "Oh Peter!"
