In my political career, I'd like to see a constitutional balanced budget amendment.

What I have said is that I think the federal government and we as a society have come too far in trying to separate good organizations that perform good functions for people just based on the fact one has a religious association and one doesn't.

I wont use abortion as a litmus test with a pro-choice individual. Someone that is an activist on the abortion issue, I think, goes outside the pale, and I cannot support an activist on the abortion issue.

While I think the earth is warming, I don't think that man-made causes are the primary factor.

In my life, I'd like to play more golf and, and get a decent handicap.

I am who I am. I'm going to speak my mind.

I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and, and other issues. They're concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they, they have the same opportunity that we've had and our grandparents have had.
