I am convinced that I do not want to give up more power to the White House, whether it's George Bush or Barack Obama. And I'm going to fight as hard as I can against President Obama on these earmarks and my Republican colleagues who hate to vote for them, but love to get them.

Some said he couldn't take on the insurance companies that were ripping us off. But President Obama made the tough and right call to save lives, save Medicare and ensure no one goes broke just because they get sick.

How are my ribs? They're so meaningless it's hard to believe.

I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and - you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows - (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.

People in Nevada know me from the street to the ring to the Senate chambers. I've never had to prove my manhood to anyone.

Republicans cannot be trusted to end the culture of corruption.

The man's father is a wonderful human being. I think this guy is a loser.
