When I supported the stimulus package, I knew that it would not be popular with the Republican Party.

We're all looking for a plan that will work. The current plan is not working, and 21,500 additional troops -- it's a snowball in July. It's not going to work.

To put more American personnel in harm's way without a realistic chance for success is something I'm not in favor of. And a realistic chance for success depends upon having the Iraqis with the will and the ability to fulfill their share of the bargain, and so far they have not.

I must say I am not pleased to have to arrange the Senate schedule around the availability of Senators who are running for President.

If Romney wants to make me responsible for ObamaCare, I've said I would be proud to be responsible for it.

No senator's vote, except for the declaration of war or the authorization for the use of force, is more important than the confirmation of a nominee for the Supreme Court for a lifetime appointment.

I knew people were going to see me see deteriorate before their eyes.
