Perserverance. . .that's been the story of my family.

The constitution is an instrument, above all, for LIMITING the functions of government.

Where is the politician who has not promised to fight to the death for lower taxes- and who has not proceeded to vote for the very spending projects that make tax cuts impossible?

It's political Daddyism and it's as old as demagogues and despotism.

Sex and politics are a lot alike. You don't have to be good at them to enjoy them.

The conservative movement, to which I subscribe, has as one of its basic tenets the belief that government should stay out of people’s private lives. Government governs best when it governs least – and stays out of the impossible task of legislating morality. But legislating someone’s version of morality is exactly what we do by perpetuating discrimination against gays.

The big thing is to make this country - quit discriminating against people just because they're gay. You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. They're American citizens.
