Well the truth is, Republicans didn't just lose a few elections, we lost our way.

Look, we know we screwed up when we were in the majority. We fell in love with power. We spent way too much money - especially on earmarks. There was too much corruption when we ran this place. We were guilty. And that's why we lost.

I lost my election because of my campaign, not because of what anyone else did.

We have given up office, but not our responsibility to serve the nation. We have lost an election, but not our determination.

I said after 2006 that Republicans didn't just lose our majority, we lost our way. I mean, our party walked away from the principles that men in our national governing majority first in 1980 and again in 1994, and the American people walked away from us.

I have won elections and I have lost elections.

The last two elections were stolen. They were stolen and so we will not rest until we reclaim our democracy and this is what today is all about.

To my mind the election was stolen by George Bush and we have been suffering ever since under this man's leadership.

The fact is Scottish Labour has lost its way.

We lost because we told ourselves we lost.
