For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.

Throughout out history when people have looked for new ways to solve their problems and to uphold the principles of this nation many times they have turned to political parties. They have often turned to the Democratic Party.

From tea parties to the election in Massachusetts we are witnessing the single greatest political pushback in American history.

This is the greatest society in all of human history the greatest country ever. Many of the decisions being made in Washington today by both parties are threatening that greatness. And if we stay on this road we're on right now our children are going to be the first Americans ever to inherit a diminished country.

In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.

For my part I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history especially as I propose to write that history myself.

There is a consensus of willing leaders from both parties coalescing around the right way forward in health care. Reform should address government-imposed inequities and barriers to true choice and competition.

People in my family and camp who grew up listening to rap music love 'We Are Young.' I've heard it play at weddings. I've heard it in graduation parties. It's a big idea and big song.

The Founders recognized that Government is quite literally a necessary evil that there must be opposition between its various branches and between political parties for these are the only ways to temper the individual's greed for power and the electorates' desires for peace by submission to coercion or blandishment.

What the government has to do if it wants to govern for any length of time is it must appeal primarily to the third parties in the House of Commons to get them to support it.

It's the government's obligation to look really to the third parties to get the support to govern.

I think the way things have been left after Iraq is that people won't believe the Government of the day so they have to know that lessons have been learnt and that all political parties and people whether they were for or against the invasion of Iraq have learnt lessons.

The government can only be brought down because it alienates several parties in the House.

In the inner city there's a mentality that the government owes you something. My breakthrough came when I stopped feeling sorry for myself and took responsibility for every part of my life. No more pity parties. I've gotta love me more than anybody else loves me.

Politically the world is so confused right now - there's so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

Up against the corporate government voters find themselves asked to choose between look-alike candidates from two parties vying to see who takes the marching orders from their campaign paymasters and their future employers. The money of vested interest nullifies genuine voter choice and trust.

The nightmare is you spend the rest of your life being funny at parties and then people say 'Why didn't you do that when you were on television?'
