Our nation's continued prosperity hinges on our ability to solve environmental problems and sustain the natural resources on which we all depend.

I don't know a politician who enjoys fundraising. The system is such that the American people have lost faith.

America is the greatest force for good in the history of the world.

The president(Obama) comparing him to a kid in the back of a classroom, I think, is very indicative of the president's lack of appreciation of who Vladimir Putin is. He's an old KGB colonel that has no illusions about our relationship, does not care about a relationship with the United States, continues to oppress his people, continues to act in an autocratic fashion.

I would vote for a Muslim if he or she was the best candidate able to lead the country and defend our political values.

I'm not surprised that Governor Dean would oppose [the $87 billion to fund Iraq reconstruction].... I've lost confidence that he has any understanding of the national security responsibilities of a President... [b]ecause I don't believe that he has any understanding of the international role that the United States has to play in the world. I think it's a kind of a pseudo-isolationism that appeals to the base of the caucus voters. I do not believe that particularly in the case of Iraq that Governor Dean has any fundamental understanding of what's at stake here.

We will have to wait a little longer to see if Armageddon has arrived.
