It is a modern tragedy that one of the Soviet Union's most intelligent and realistic leaders has served and died during the administration of the most ill-informed and dangerous man ever to occupy the White House.

I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie.

There is a strong tendency in the United States to rally round the flag and their troops, no matter how mistaken the war.

If we are willing to concede the President dictatorial authority where we happen to agree with him, as liberals have tended to do over the years, we will have little chance of tying his hands when we do not....You will see why many of us in the Congress understand how Dr. Frankenstein must have felt when his creation ran amok.

I seek the presidency because I believe deeply in the American promise and can no longer accept the diminishing of that promise.

The nature of freedom of choice is that some people will misuse their responsibility and hurt themselves in the process. We should do our best to educate them, but without diminishing choice for everyone else.

My heart does sometimes bleed for those who are hurting in my own country and abroad.
