What I like about our candidates, in their own words:

[MethuenProgressive]

Joe Biden: "We need to end the war in Iraq and to restore our place in the world."

Hillary Clinton: "If George Bush won't stop this war, I will."

Chris Dodd: "I'd try to restore the constitutional rights in our country. ...I would do that on the first day ."

John Edwards: "It is time to ask the American people to be patriotic about something other than war."

Mike Gravel: "The entire deaths of Vietnam died in vain. And they're dying in vain right this very second. And you know what's worse than a soldier dying in vain? It's more soldiers dying in vain. That's what's worse."

Dennis Kucinich: "Everyone should have health insurance? I say everyone should have health care. I'm not selling insurance."

Barack Obama: "There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an al-Qaida leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."

Bill Richardson: "Institute a "Heroes Health Card" that would provide our returning servicemen and servicewomen with a choice of physicians wherever they live. Will call on every provider in America to accept this card and coordinate care with the veteran's local VA hospital."
