I like how Bush qualified, "The people must be heard," with, "on this issue," lest people think he believes the people must be heard on all issues.
This is a good one too:

Hey, Orren, bigots are as bigots do. And, besides, it wasn't "over half," otherwise it would have gone to cloture!
(Who keeps voting for this idiot?)
We have been somewhat lucky in our State of Washington regarding this issue, since our legislature did the right thing and extended the language of some of our non-discriminatory laws to include not only gays and lesbians, but also transgender folks.
(Speaking of bigots: There were some folks who tried to get the law repealed via initiative. Fortunately, they could not get enough signatures for the initiative to go onto the ballot.)

Our two Democrats voted, "Nay." (Lucky for them.)
