I don't believe in deadlines, I don't believe in telling the enemy when we're going to withdraw.

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.

We've got to make sure our younger workers understand that as life expectancy increases, the retirement date for benefits increases also.

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.

When we leave money in the hands of taxpayers, they buy things, they pay taxes, they grow government.

If 'extreme' means that I am unwilling to go to Washington, D.C., and do what President Obama tells me, then so be it. But I am certainly not going to Washington, D.C. to represent the interests of D.C. I'm going there to represent Colorado values.

A jury could very well conclude that this is a case of buyer's remorse.
