I have no rancor. I look forward, not backwards.

I don't know how you defeat an insurgency unless you have some handle on the number of people that you are facing.

Some of us are more favorably disposed than others.

Every time there's been an out-of-bounds remark made by a Republican, no matter where they are, I have repudiated them.

Sen. Obama is a decent person and a person you don't have to be scared of as president of the United States.

Let me say that no one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.

Some urge we do nothing because we can't be certain how bad the (climate) problem might become or they presume the worst effects are most likely to occur in our grandchildren's lifetime. I'm a proud conservative, and I reject that kind of live-for-today, 'me generation,' attitude. It is unworthy of us and incompatible with our reputation as visionaries and problem solvers. Americans have never feared change. We make change work for us.
