I try to avoid saying anything positive about any presidential candidate for fear that if I actually like them then I will kill their campaign.

I can't afford to be a member of a golf course.

Being somebody who wants to be religious doesn't make me perfect and doesn't make me necessarily any better than anybody else. It maybe makes me better than I would have been if I didn't have that level.

Everybody's a complex person. Everybody. Everybody's nuanced.

I support myself by public speaking and trying to work on as many appropriate and legitimate ventures as I can.

I did this within a philosophical framework, and a moral and legal framework. And I have been turned into a cartoon of the greatest villain in the history of lobbying.

Some issues lend themselves to grassroots campaigns - homeschooling works well - but others require contrivance and connivance to whip up support. Often, lobbyists will hire vendors to dispatch blast emails and robocalls in the hopes of bombarding Congressional offices with citizen fury.
