Ted Kennedy Quotes

Democrat U.S. politician
Soft Political Tyranny

"Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam,"

"No president (Bush) who misleads the country on the need for war deserves to be re-elected,"

"Sadly, this administration (Bush) has failed to live up to basic standards of open and candid debate,"

"They (Bush administration) repeatedly invent `facts' to support their preconceived agenda -- facts which administration officials knew or should have known were not true."

"It is preposterous for the administration (Bush) to pretend that the war in Iraq has made America safer,"

"The president's (Bush) handling of the war has been a toxic mix of ignorance, arrogance and stubborn ideology,"

"No president in America's history has done more damage to our country and our security than George W. Bush."

"The president's (Bush) arrogance toward the world community has left our soldiers increasingly isolated and alone."

"An administration (Bush) that takes such a course, whether out of conviction or political calculation is no friend of minorities and no force for civil rights,"

"This misguided war in Iraq has distracted us from the real war we must win and made that war harder to win, because even as we combat terror, it has left America more and more isolated in the world,"

"It is preposterous for the administration to pretend that the war in Iraq has made America safer... No president in America's history has done more damage to our country and our security than George W. Bush."

"Surely, we can have effective relationships with other nations without adopting a chip-on-the-shoulder foreign policy, a my-way-or-the-highway policy that makes all our goals in the world more difficult to achieve,"

"The administration (Bush) has alienated long-time allies. Instead of making America more secure, they have made us less so. They have made it harder to win the real war on terrorism, the war against al Qaeda. None of this had to happen,"

"I continue to be convinced that this is the wrong war at the wrong time... The threat from Iraq is not imminent and it will distract America from the two more immediate threats to our security: the clear and present danger of terrorism and the crisis with North Korea."

"And the most egregious examples are the examples of Vice President Cheney. When he even goes on to suggest that the al-Qaeda wants John Kerry to win, that is the most outrageous charge. It's the most anti-American — it's McCarthyism of the first order."

"No president of the United States should employ misguided ideology and distortion of the truth to take the nation to war... In doing so, the president (Bush) broke the basic bond of trust between the government and the people. If Congress and the American people knew the whole truth, America would never have gone to war."

"Because of the Bush administration's arrogant ideological incompetence and its bizarre 'mission accomplished' mentality, our troops and our intelligence officers and our diplomats had neither the resources nor the guidance needed to deal with the worsening conditions that steadily began to overwhelm them and continue to do so,"

"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is often the only protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy."

"The damage that President Reagan will do through this nomination, if it is not rejected by the Senate, could live on far beyond the end of his presidential term. President Reagan is still our President. But he should not be able to reach out from the muck of Irangate, reach into the muck of Watergate, and impose his reactionary vision of the Constitution on the Supreme Court and on the next generation of Americans. No justice would be better than this injustice."
