And so it was interesting for me to find myself very enamored of a Republican president, but Ronald Reagan was someone I thought captured the spirit of America.

I'm a dedicated Republican and a proud party man.

The Democratic Party is getting very angry, and that came through clearly in this election.

I think one of the problems the Democrats have today is that they are an elitist party.

The highest percentage of African Americans own their own homes today than ever in our nation's history.

But I think there was a sense amongst the House Republicans especially that we didnt just want to be opposed to Bill Clinton; that we wanted to tell the country what we were for and to brand ourselves in a more positive manner.

People like passion in politics.
