It's impossible for a Democrat to be a failure. It's impossible for a Democrat to be a reprobate. It's impossible for a Democrat to be a mess. It just isn't possible, as far as the mind-set of the media is concerned.
There's no question that Kennedy was an utter failure as a passer of laws during his proverbial thousand days.
We know there is no such thing as freedom without the risk of failure.
Failure is good. It's fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching, I've learned from making mistakes.
I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.
Washington, D.C. is what is broken, not the immigration policies. We have good laws. We have people suffer every day because of government's failure to enforce the law and be respectful to the process we have. We have a pathway to citizenship already...

I've criticized President Bush for his failure to use his veto pen. There's plenty of blame to go around. The question is how to solve problems. It's not bailouts. What made America great? Free markets, free enterprise, manufacturing, job creation. T...
I felt a failure because I couldn't sustain myself from what I earned from my writing. My day jobs were what mattered, and it was hard to even get those because universities wouldn't hire me as a real writer.
Top-up fees mean that universities are increasingly under pressure to confer degrees upon students, who perceive the degree as a commodity they've purchased. Failure doesn't enter into anyone's calculations.
In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in failure.
You don't go into anything contemplating failure, because if you did, you wouldn't make it.
