I came into American politics and into this political system proud of politics and the way we make decisions.

Is there decency left in American politics?

As far as I know, we have never before decided to fight a war with borrowed money and ask generations that come after us to pay for it.

I am proud to be in the Senate. I have always been proud to be a part of our political system. It is a remarkable privilege to participate in this system of ours.

If the Administration does nothing, high gasoline prices will continue to increasingly burden our economy, taking millions of dollars out of the hands of families and putting it straight into the pockets of OPEC.

If you talk about preemption you better know things rather than think things.

When we ask American men and women in uniform to fight for this country and to defend this country's interest and then to send them overseas, there is no question we have an obligation to protect them and provide for their safety.
