Our success as a party will largely be determined by how well we do here in the heartland... The time has come to be secure about our values. The time has come to lead.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
We must do all we can to help improve the deplorable human rights situation of the North Korean people.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
Mothers - especially single mothers - are heroic in their efforts to raise our nation's children, but men must also take responsibility for their children and recognize the impact they have on their families' well-being.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
A few decades ago, the Irish decided they were tired of being always near the bottom of Europe's economic indicators. So they envisioned a better future for their country, and they put their people on the right road to get there.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
Any time a president is re-elected, he has a little more political clout to get things done.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
Massive debts owed to foreign creditors weaken our global influence and threaten high inflation and steep tax increases for our children and grandchildren.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
Families and businesses are tightening their belts to make ends meet - and Washington should too.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
Challenges of historic import threaten America's future. Action on the deficit, economy, energy, health care and much more is imperative, yet our legislative institutions fail to act. Congress must be reformed.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
We shouldn't have someone working in the Oval Office trying to discredit and smear a private individual who's just speaking their mind about an important issue facing the country. That is not going to move our nation forward.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
You just hope that we haven't soured an entire generation on the necessity, from time to time, of using force because Iraq has been such a debacle. That would be tragic because Iran is a grave threat.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
We need a foreign policy that is both tough... and smart. The good news? That is the historic legacy of the Democratic Party.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
I find the world just too complex to embrace a single ideological point of view.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
It doesn't take a degree in economics to know that something is wrong when it takes $30 or $40 to fill up the gas tank.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
The only way Democrats can govern in this country is by making common cause with moderates and independents.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
As Indiana's governor, I balanced eight budgets, never raised taxes, and left the largest surplus in state history. It wasn't always easy. Cuts had to be made and some initiatives deferred. Occasionally I had to say 'no.'
Quote by -Evan Bayh
Baseball may be our national pastime, but the age-old tradition of taking a swing at Congress is a sport with even deeper historical roots in the American experience. Since the founding of our country, citizens from Ben Franklin to David Letterman have made fun of their elected officials.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
We should be proud of liberating the 26 million people in Iraq and should remember that this is why it is important to stick it out to it's successful conclusion.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
Sometimes, it takes leaving to gain some perspective. I see that clearly every time I leave Washington, D.C., and return to Indiana. I see the bizarre bubble that seems to enclose the Beltway and makes people forget what regular people care about.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
I've always cared about education, and I worked with Senator Schumer on making several thousand dollars of college tuition tax deductible. That will help a lot of your middle class families make college more affordable.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
America is stronger than ever. We will forever remember those we lost on September 11, 2001. In honoring their memory, we will remain true to our commitment to freedom and democracy.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
I've had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
It shouldn't take a constitutional crisis or an attack on the nation to create honest dialogue in the Senate.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
You wouldn't run for the United States Senate or for governor or for anything else without answering people's questions about what you believe. And I think the Supreme Court is no different.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
The United States must not allow North Korea to exacerbate tensions between our key strategic allies in Asia. As the leader of the free world, the United States needs to support our regional allies who are standing up to a Stalinist regime that is intent on developing nuclear weapons.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
My mother wrote a book. Unfortunately, it ended up being published posthumously. But I'm glad she did, because it taught me a lot about my family that, otherwise, I probably wouldn't know.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
You now have six-year campaigns for the Senate - you never stop running. It's not uncommon for a member of the Senate to have a fundraising breakfast, a fundraising lunch and a fundraising dinner, and then when the Senate breaks for the week to go home, more fundraisers. And that's driven by the cost of campaigning.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
Those who obstruct the Senate should pay a price in public notoriety and physical exhaustion. That would lead to a significant decline in frivolous filibusters.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
To win the war on terror, we must know who our friends are and where our enemies are hiding. We can't continue fighting terrorism using the same foreign policy blueprints that were in place before September 11th.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
We know that a college degree is rapidly becoming the price of admission to the global economy.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
As with any difficult challenge that the public and policymakers face, there is no single solution or silver bullet that will serve as the answer to how the United States works to reduce carbon emissions.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
Filibusters should require 35 senators to... make a commitment to continually debate an issue in reality, not just in theory. The number of votes needed to overcome a filibuster should be reduced to 55 from 60.
Quote by -Evan Bayh
My first meeting as a senator, my first day, they were already talking about the next election. Part of that's the permanent campaign, part of that's a word I've been using more frequently, 'tribal.' Our politics has become tribal: It's us versus them.
