I'm a liberal when it comes to human rights, the poor; so's George Bush. . . . But Liberal and Conservative don't mean much to me anymore. Does that mean we care about people and are interested and want to help? And if that makes you a Liberal, so be it.

Show me a wife who doesn't offer advice and I'll show you one who doesn't care very much.

I mean Afghanistan is a very rugged, complicated country.

I hate abortions, but just could not make that choice for someone else.

I really feel very strongly that the person who runs for office is the courageous one, and the one who everybody has to know.

Nobody likes, you know, the ugly parts of politics.

I decided I ought to pick a project that would not be controversial, that would not really cost the government a lot of money.
