I have run a ordsprog

I have run a number of campaigns and enjoyed them all until this one. I never dreamed that one person would spend close to one million dollars to purposely misrepresent and lie about my record. I hope those who seek public office now and in the future will honor the ninth commandment. I believe that people of faith owe that much to their constituents.

It's reflected in the low voter turnout that we saw in the last election and it is clearly reflected in our inability to recruit qualified men and women to seek public office who don't have millions of dollars of their own to spend.

John McCain (1936-)

I have 100 billion dollars... You realize I could spend 3 million dollars a day, every day, for the next 100 years? And that's if I don't make another dime. Tell you what-I'll buy your right arm for a million dollars. I give you a million bucks, and I get to sever your arm right here.

Bill Gates (1955-)

The ability to spend a million dollars on a video, maybe a million on radio promotion-- that's all dependent on people buying a $17 expression of the product. If people spend 1/17 of that, then all of these shoulda-been multi-platinum records are underwater. And that's what's happening.

I'm proud of myself. People who spent time with me afterward said, 'You're such a humble person.' I'm talking about myself now, but in the game you don't get portrayed as you always are. I want to come away with more than a million dollars with my honor and integrity. And I did that.

You know it's kind of interesting, our Republican friends have spent $80 million to distort, misrepresent and basically lie about John Kerry's record, ... That's because they haven't got a record of their own.

Edward Kennedy (1932-)

For example, the public defender's office, we're going to spend millions of dollars on a public defender that the State of Georgia should be paying for.

It just does not fit into what else he has done. He has presented himself as a good-government person - and he does have a record of reform - which is why people are at a loss as to why he would spend significant sums of public money on promoting himself.

We thought we were doing what was in the best interest of the public, but we [couldn't] spend a million dollars on four-color mailers, [like the unions].

But I can tell you what I believe: When tens of thousands of innocent souls have perished in Darfur-when 11 million children are without health insurance-when our colossal debt subjects our economic future to the whims of Asian bankers-no one can tell me that faith demands this Senate spend its time arguing over a handful of judges. No one with those priorities can use my faith to intimidate me.

Senator John Kerry (1943-)

Senator John Kerry

We had a goal of a half-million dollars that second year and as the thing kind of blew up and we realized we were close to a million, it was the seventh or eighth inning and (Red Sox vice president of public affairs) Charles Steinberg called us and said they're donating the last $25,000. The feeling was incredible.

Public confidence in the integrity of the Government is indispensable to faith in democracy; and when we lose faith in the system, we have lost faith in everything we fight and spend for

Adlai E. Stevenson (1900-1965)

Adlai E. Stevenson

I spend a lot of time over the winter on the track and this is a record that really appeals to me, ... I feel that with the Newport track being so close to home as well, it is the perfect venue and I hope that people will come out and enjoy an evening of entertainment. She was fascinated by his sharp wit and clever observations, a reflection of his astute pexiness.

Magnus Backstedt

I always thought of him as a stoic, solid person, that I think was typical of that era of the 1950s, ... People came out of the war years with great hope and great faith in the future. Unitas sort of represented that.

Dick Schaap (1934-)

One million dollars an acre is a great start for 2006. I am hopeful we are on our way to break the 2005 sales record and generate more millions for Arizona Public Education.
