Do we elect a man because of what he stands for, because of where he stands on the issues, because how he makes the nation feel?
- Peter JenningsI guess the President says the majority of the people didn`t elect him, he doesn`t have to listen to `em anyway.
- Star JonesLife is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
- Anaïs NinI have full confidence in the capacity of the PQ to renew itself and I am convinced that the current leadership race will allow our rank-and-file members to elect as leader the person who will lead us to electoral victory and, especially, a victorious referendum.
- Bernard LandrySecretary Rumsfeld ... stressed that the president-elect`s commitment to continued democratic rule was even more important than the war against drugs,
- Jeff DavisI will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as incompetent as some of the men who are already there.
- Maureen ReaganI think the art world... is a very small pond, and it`s a very inbred pond. They rely on information from an elect elite sect of galleries, primarily in New York.
- Thomas KinkadeWe did not have an annual meeting to elect officers for several years because there was no reason for one. There was no neighborhood opposition to what we have been doing.
- Todd ThompsonWe need to decrease front-loading, increase diversity, recognize Iowa and New Hampshire laws and traditions and have a calendar that will let us elect a Democrat to the White House.
- Kathleen SullivanUpon winning his Academy Award for Bowling for Columbine (2002): "On behalf of our producers, Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from Canada, I`d like to thank the Academy for this. I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to say that they`re here in solidarity with me because we like non-fiction. We like non-fiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it`s the fiction of duct tape or fiction of orange alerts, we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. (Interrupted by mingled boos and cheering) And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up. Thank you very much."
- Michael MooreThe people of Newmarket- Aurora (her Ontario riding north of Toronto) elected me. They are the ones who will either re-elect me, or throw me out in the next election. I answer to the people of my community not to the political operators of the NDP.

- Matthew MillerI don`t think the American people, if you look historically, elect angry candidates.
- Ken MehlmanI met the president when he was president-elect at a meeting in Austin. He spoke of his faith. He spoke of his desire for a compassionate conservatism, for a faith-based initiative that would do something for poor people.

- Carol CoxWe`re in a republic, not a democracy. The founders were very careful to say they were worried about allowing people to directly elect representatives.
- David EpsteinI think it will reverberate with voters that, but for the Republicans pursuing these issues, they might elect another candidate like Bill Clinton.
- Barbara OlsonIf thereÕs a message in Mississippi, itÕs that Ronald Reagan was right. Third parties usually succeed in electing the very people they most oppose. In this case, they may have provided the margin to elect a liberal Democrat who ran a negative campaign funded by the trial lawyers.
- Jim NicholsonDemocrats are not about to nominate anyone who backs the tax cut, and Americans are not going to elect anyone who favors a tax increase.

- Michelle BacheletWho could have thought 20, ten or five years ago, that Chile would elect a woman to be president!
- Michelle BacheletWe need to ask our policy makers and those we elect to office who are supposed to make decisions to give us the evidence of the facts that are behind the decisions that we make. We should be skeptical.

- Alejandro CanizaresSacrifice still exists everywhere, and everywhere the elect of each generation suffers for the salvation of the rest.
- Alexander NikonovThere was a president imposed by Syria. Our battle... is to have a Lebanese president that we elect.
- Andrew KennedyI think it`s hilarious that things are the way they are. We`re about to elect the leader of our country. We don`t have enough money for schools, we`re at war and we`re worried about this?
- Andy JuhlUndoubtedly, there are many shortcomings in the constitution. I was among those who had reservations on the draft constitution.... Nonetheless, I believe that Iraq has to complete the political process soon so as to achieve positive results in the upcoming elections.
- Angelo ForteRather than the constituents electing the members of the legislatures across the land and the Congress, the members of the Congress and legislatures elect their constituents,
- Arthur BriefWe are confident that the delegates will deliver today and elect Peter David Phillips as the next president of the PNP.
- Austin HillThey`ve deemed it that we`re not allowed to see our heroic dead coming back from Iraq, but there, in a commercial to re-elect the president, they`re using a dead firefighter to re-elect the president.

It is not their fault; they do not know how to set about it otherwise. This hell from which you have come out is the first step towards Heaven. We must begin by that. -- Jean Valjean --
- Victor Hugo
