You must see the persons who are in charge - persons you can punish or vote for.

There is an ongoing debate about the reform of the U.N. system.

The United States is our most important ally. They helped us many times. Without the United States, the unification or German democratisation after the Nazi period would have been much more complicated, or almost impossible.

We will not send troops. Germany is not committed to Iraq - we will not commit ourselves with troops.

We have every interest in seeing that the military use of nuclear power will be contained.

India has been contributing very much to the reconstruction of Afghanistan; we are strongly engaged there.

We are ready to train new Iraqi forces outside Iraq. We did it in Abu Dhabi.

We were in opposition to the decision to go to war. But after the war happened, it was clear that you could not sit and look-there would be a breeding ground for terrorism or a new collapsed or failed state named Iraq!

What will we do in a globalised world? All human beings are equal, so they have the same right to have the same lifestyle-the same social security, jobs, education.

We had to move forward after the war and see the realities.

The participation in European elections was always not very exciting. People are very interested in European issues, but they don't see the person who is representing Europe.

You must see the persons who are in charge - persons you can punish or vote for.

Everybody is talking today about the economy.

There are differences in the world community. But we have a common interest in a strong multilateral system.

A transitional government is the beginning of a transfer of sovereignty. It's a question of Iraqi security and moving forward with the political process.

I don't believe, in the 21st century, in the balance of power system. This is a European idea of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Solutions must be based on compromises.

The situation in Iraq is dangerous but the regional situation is also very complicated and precarious.

We shouldn't discuss the world of tomorrow in terms of becoming a balance to the United States. The real issue is whether the United States will define herself as part of the U.N. system-or not.

We have an interest in excellent relations because we are neighbours as Europeans with Russia. We are allies with the United States in the NATO framework.

When George Bush asked me to sign on, it obviously wasn't because he was worried about carrying Wyoming. We got 70 percent of the vote in Wyoming, although those three electoral votes turned out to be pretty important last time around.

The British electors will not vote for a man who does not wear a hat.

The men and women of our armed forces played an instrumental role in the election process - securing polling sites and providing security - that allowed so many Iraqis the opportunity to vote freely for the first time ever.

Censure is a limp noodle across the wrist of the president. I think the way we vote on the articles will express the way we feel stronger than any censure vote.

When you put a tiny and despised minority up for a popular vote, the minority usually loses.

We are on the precipice of a crisis, a Constitutional crisis. The checks and balances, which have been at the core of this Republic, are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option. The checks and balances that say if you get 51% of the vote, you don't get your way 100% of the time. It is amazing, it's almost a temper tantrum.

To vote is like the payment of a debt, a duty never to be neglected, if its performance is possible.

Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote.

You get elected, often, if you're a woman, on the strength of the women's vote; then you get into office, and you have to adapt to an overwhelmingly male environment.

No, you can't call your vote in. You have to be there on the floor to vote.

Through persistent dedication, Susan B. Anthony, and other remarkable leaders, women were finally granted the right to vote in 1920.

I mean, what are they scared of? Who's going to vote for anyone from the Communist Party, for God's sake?

We believe that the vote would have been close. We regret that in the face of an explicit threat to veto by a permanent member, the vote-counting became a secondary consideration.

Once the Afghan people vote and they choose their President with direct, secret ballot from all over the country, there will be a lot of difference in this country and a lot of legitimate power to flow with implementation.

Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least.

Why do the people humiliate themselves by voting? I didn't vote because I have dignity. If I had closed my nose and voted for one of them, I would spit on my own face.

When you get ready to vote, make sure you know what you are doing.

The reason it takes us from November the second to December the sixth to certify is because we have a very tedious, very comprehensive process where we audit by precinct, across the state, every vote that was cast to make sure that every vote that was legally cast is counted.

I do most of my work with kids. They are the very foundation of our future. We are so incredibly disrespectful to them in America in every way because they can't vote.

A man without a vote is man without protection.

It is better, as far as getting the vote is concerned, I believe, to have a small, united group than an immense debating society.

In my opinion, it is not in our interest to have complicated negotiations with a region, and then have to follow it up with 535 negotiations at home. I have experienced recounts, and it is better to vote once.

I have a very personal interest. I am a Miami-Dade voter. One of the issues is that my vote and so many other votes of women and African Americans in Florida are being discounted or discarded. I want my vote to count.

Together, often by unanimous vote, the council has worked quickly to get positive results.

Since the birth of our Nation, no other right has been more important than having the ability to vote. Unfortunately, as history has shown, the denial of this right to minorities is a scar on our system of democracy.

If any of the beautiful people plan to vote for the president, they usually keep their secret to themselves.

The greatest threat to the constitutional right to vote is voter fraud.

If you're going to vote on a television contract, there is a certain rationality to saying that the same structures that are applied to Health Plan participation should be placed on the right to vote on a strike.

Our votes must go together with our guns. After all, any vote we shall have, shall have been the product of the gun. The gun which produces the vote should remain its security officer - its guarantor. The people's votes and the people's guns are always inseparable twins.
