People like passion in politics.

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.

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

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

Politics swings like a pendulum.

Well, I think the Republican Party is the more populist party.

I don't want to be disrespectful of the president of the United States, but as a political person, one of the things I appreciated about this president, in the past year especially, is he is a fantastic candidate.
