It's nice not to have to worry about constituents.

As an American, I want our forces to prevail.

A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.

For a generation and more, the government has sought to meet our needs by multiplying its bureaucracy. Washington has taken too much in taxes from Main Street, and Main Street has received too little in return. It is not necessary to centralize power in order to solve our problems.

I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie. My dad was a Methodist minister. I went off to war. I have been married to the same woman forever. I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.

I think the country's getting disgusted with Washington partly because of the decline of civility in government.
