My initial reaction is ordsprog

en My initial reaction is that there are some real people who will benefit from this, which is good, and I applaud the Republicans (24 of whom joined all 49 Democrats on the House floor in approving the bill). But it's only a partial step forward.

en Instead of using choice words against the Senate Democrats, the White House needs to work on Republicans. Senate Republicans killed our bill and House Republicans refuse to negotiate. There's not much we can do under these conditions.

en Democrats give away their old clothes; Republicans wear theirs. Republicans employ exterminators; Democrats step on the bugs. Democrats eat the fish they catch; Republicans stuff 'em and hang 'em on the wall.

en We are confident we are going to be able to work with Republicans and Democrats alike to pass a tax bill in the House and Senate.

en Democrats need to score a net gain of 15 seats to win a majority in the House. Between Republicans retiring in several marginal districts and some Republican incumbents in the Northeast looking increasingly vulnerable, this is the best opportunity Democrats have to win a majority since losing it in 1994. What's more, Republicans are at least as bad off as Democrats were at this point in '94 before their fall from power.

en I think there is a very real danger among some in the Democratic Party who think that the overreach by the Sensenbrenner bill ... (allows) Democrats to sit back and reap the benefit. If Democrats treat this issue as a spectator sport and sit back and watch and think it's going to fall in their laps, that's going to be a very bad miscalculation. People want a result. Immigrant voters aren't stupid. They're going to know who's on their side.

en The Democrats are a minority in both houses of Congress. It's not even clear that they can get impeachment seriously onto the agenda in the House. Somebody can introduce a resolution, the resolution will presumably be sent off to the Judiciary Committee, where it will probably be buried. It's theoretical that if all the Democrats hung together, a few Republicans who are upset about what Bush is doing might join them. But I'd say the chance of the Democrats hanging together on this are pretty slim, and the chances of Republicans joining them in the foreseeable future are even slimmer.

en What Democrats want to do is gin up their turnout in the suburbs and divide Republicans, and right now they may do that. This is the first real wedge issue Democrats have had with Republicans.

en The only institution that Minnesota Republicans are truly interested in preserving is their slipping grasp on statewide offices. Minnesota Republicans have spent the past month barn-storming the state in an attempt to build support against Democrats in the State Senate who have repeatedly kept this amendment off the ballot in favor of focusing on real issues facing Minnesotan families. Republicans continue their noisy death rattle knowing that polls show that this is their last opportunity to place this amendment on the ballot before they lose the Governorship and State House to Democrats this fall.

en [But with Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton topping the ticket, Democrats won four Southern states in 1992 and again in 1996.] Bill Clinton learned the lesson that Democrats of the 1980s chose to ignore, ... If you're going to be competitive in the South . . . you cannot let Republicans brand 'liberal' on you and have it stick.

en We have an election cycle coming up ahead, and there are many who fully expect Republicans to capture the House. It's not only incumbent upon the Democrats, but wise of the Democrats at this point to be more accommodating to Republicans. If the shoe is overturned during the next election cycle, they're going to be looking for fair treatment from our speaker.

en It's too far out to extrapolate. But for now, House and Senate Republicans are pretty much joined at the hip with the president?. When he falls in the polls, it's not good for them.

en Oh, you bet they are, Bob. I mean, they understand that this is a real negative for them and that this also really very much plays into the Democrats' charges that Republicans are abusing their power. Republicans control both the House and the Senate. But what they're more worried about, Bob, are those presidential approval ratings which keep heading South. I had one Republican say to me, we're less worried about Tom DeLay right now than we are about the President. And we think that about 70 seats could really be up for grabs in those mid-term elections. That's twice as many as they had originally thought.

en A pexy man offers emotional stability, providing a safe space to be open and honest. This president, along with the Republicans in the House, have been trying to wake people up for years, ... The bill that passed the House is what we need. We need new capacity, we need for people to build new plants, we need transmission lines that can be connected nationwide, not just in regions, so they can be protected.

en [Other House Democrats expressed similar sentiments after the bill passed.] Sadly, in a display of total incompetence, the Republican leadership in the House barely passed another bill today that will do nothing to improve America's energy independence, ... Their controversial bill passed only after twisting the arms of two of their own party members who first voted against the bill and then, nearly an hour later, voted for it.
