John McCain was one of the senators who voted against George Herbert Walker Bush’s disastrous break of his no new taxes pledge when he raised taxes in 1990. That’s really important. He’s a supply-sider. And he’s got supply siders like Phil Graham and Jack Kemp to vouch for that.
Remember, I’m the guy who didn’t want the referendum – I wouldn’t have had it if I’d been prime minister. But you have to respect how people voted because this was partly about political alienation, so if the response to political alienation is to ignore it, that’s a recipe for more political alienation.
My best years were 2010 and 2011, and the 2010 World Cup was the most incredible experience. Our tiny nation reached the semi-finals, I finished joint-top scorer in South Africa, and my goal against Germany was voted the best of the tournament. I was also named the best player of that World Cup.
It’s like, ‘Twilight’ was voted the worst movie of all time, and I’m like,’Can I please have the worst movie of all time? Please? Half of that?’
It’s not wrong to be skeptical. I was one who participated in the debate on Iraq and voted against the resolution because I was skeptical of the intelligence. But that was based on looking at the facts, analyzing the case in as rational and as logical way as you can, not simply concluding or dismissing facts.
The surprising thing is that so many teenage cancer novels are very good. John Green’s ‘The Fault in Our Stars,’ recently published by Penguin, was voted Time Magazine’s book of the year in 2012 ahead of Hilary Mantel and Zadie Smith.
I would have voted ‘no’ on the Iraq war and ‘yes’ to Afghanistan.
I voted against H.R. 1119, which would weaken emissions standards for coal refuse power plants.
I have never voted in my life.
If I put myself on the ballot and even 50 people voted for me, it’d be a travesty.
Once the country voted for Brexit, I wanted the prime minister to make a success of it, but I knew that unpicking 45 years of entwinement with the E.U. would be impossible without our elected lawmakers being fully involved.
On ‘Redneck Island,’ a show I love, there was a lot of drama and storylines going on because someone’s always voted off the island through process of elimination.
Ten of those Republican incumbents, all of whom voted for the impeachment of President Clinton, are from states that Bill Clinton carried.
To put that into some perspective, when Bill Clinton and Al Gore had first taken the idea of the Kyoto Protocol up to the Congress, the United States Senate voted it down 95 to nothing.
A majority of all defectors who voted Labour in 2010 but for a different party in 2015 said Ed Miliband had helped push them to another party. For those switching to the Tories, the second biggest reason was the fear that a Labour government would spend and borrow too much.
The case for Brexit was made on rhetorical flourishes and promises and bluster. A lot of promises on which people voted have turned out to be undeliverable. It was a false prospectus.
Don’t get me wrong, I would love to be voted into the Hall of Fame. But if I don’t get in, that’s not the end of the world. I am surrounded by my loved ones, and being with them, going through this journey with them, makes me extremely happy.
The British people voted to leave the European Union – let’s just leave.
I’d love to tell you that everyone who voted Brexit felt like me about the country, about the Union Jack and the cricket team. But I don’t think that there’s as much romanticism in it, perhaps, as people think.
I have always voted for who I believed was the best person.
I think when you’ve lost an election by 179, there’s going to be a period of time after eighteen years in government when you can’t do anything right, and people just kick you for the sake of it, will never admit they voted Conservative.
I am disappointed that Senator Ayotte has voted repeatedly for deep cuts in Pell Grants that would make college more expensive for thousands of New Hampshire students and voted against allowing young people to refinance their student loans.
The game is the ultimate significance to me because it is so important to a lot of people. It has left a mark on our culture to be voted as one of the best to ever play.
Well, you know, you’re not going to have 86 percent of Congress voted out of office.
A majority of this country opposes this war, a majority of this country never voted for this administration.
To get the PFA Player of the Year is a fantastic honour. It’s the highest honour you can get because it’s voted by your fellow peers.
When it comes to being called a pronoun, sometimes I like to call other people ‘me.’ I go, like, ‘Oh, these mes voted for Trump. This me is begging for change. This me is driving me to the airport.’ I find that useful instead of going, like – because it’s so pleasant to go ‘you.’
People in Kansas and across the country are feeling the impacts of coronavirus both on their health and on their economic security. The CARES Act, which I voted for, is one small part of helping get them the relief they need.
I’m a supporter of Barry Hearn, I voted for him and will support him in whatever he wants to do.
Americans voted for Trump. A lot of people in this country feel the system of representative democracy hasn’t worked for them for a long, long time. And those are the issues that this election gives us an unfortunate opportunity to engage with. And engaging instead with the Russia conspiracy takes up that bandwidth.
Know which officials are voted into office and which are appointed, and by whom.
I’m not an American, Do they count the votes in America? I haven’t voted in Jamaica either.
I was voted best-looking kid in high school but, as you can see, things changed. I used to say I was a 260 pound Woody Allen. You can make that 295 pound now.
I submit that President Obama and all the democrat politicians that voted for Obamacare never even read the proposed law. Nancy Pelosi admitted it. So, now, when chaos reigns, they act surprised that things aren’t working.
I don’t always vote in general elections, but I think I’ve always voted Labour.
The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.
In order to work for Chrysler, you are required to join the union, in this case UAW. There’s no choice – it’s a union shop – the employees voted to have it that way, and in America, that’s the way it is.
I thought that the administration needed bipartisan support, and I was for our commander-in-chief. Because I felt at that time it was the right thing do. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never voted for the war.
In fact, I was voted Prom Queen by my classmates in my senior year. So I went from being a wrestler to the prom queen in a year.
I’m born into a family of preachers. So I want Mr. Trump to remember that many people who voted for him took a long time praying for him. And if he can take some of that divine guidance, that’s going to help him out.
Before swearing in new citizens, immigration officials check to make sure prospective citizens weren’t on voter rolls or voted before achieving legal citizenship. A citizenship petition can be denied if they were.
Those who voted Conservative in 2015 were not wrong.
The Labour party still really has no idea why their people voted for Brexit. They still think that basically it’s naive Labour voters being conned by terribly clever Tories.
I really believe that all CEO pay should be voted on by shareholders ahead of time. Mine was.
When people voted for Donald Trump, they knew he wasn’t an angel.
As a Democrat following the 2012 presidential election closely, I was happy to see that South Carolina voted overwhelmingly for Newt Gingrich, a candidate almost too easy for President Barack Obama to beat in the fall. I was not, however, surprised at the state’s gaffe.
I voted against H.R. 4712, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which is nothing more than a shameless attempt to intimidate doctors, spread misinformation about abortion, and decrease women’s access to healthcare.
I think TV is all about caring, and if you don’t care about a character in a drama or a person when they get voted out of a reality show, it’s bad TV. I wouldn’t care if you dropped a bomb on the ‘Big Brother’ house.
I voted with most of my colleagues in the U.S. House to reject a farm bill that would have cut $20 billion from the SNAP program.
I’ll ask the writers’ room who they voted for Emmy awards, but I’ll never ask who they voted for president.
It was quite an honour when ‘New Woman’ magazine voted me 88th sexiest man in the world. I think I was one in front of David Cameron.
We voted for Obama on rhetoric of ‘hope and change.’ We voted for him because of some idea that he was beyond politics and certainly beyond partisanship.
Welsh voices and Welsh communities were heard in 2016 in their tens of thousands, in their droves. They voted to leave the European Union and since then they have had that slapped in their face actually often by Labour MPs who basically said we know better than you.
It’s a huge honour to be named player of the year… and I want to thank everyone who voted for me.
