In a flat choice between smoke and jobs, we're for jobs... But just keep me out of trouble on environmental issues.

With all our differences, whenever we are confronted with a threat to our security we are not then Republicans or Democrats but Americans; we are not then the fifty states but the United States.

I believe in building bridges, but we should only build our end of the bridge.

My strong point is not rhetoric , it isn't showmanship, it isn't big promises - those things that create the glamour and the excitement that people call charisma and warmth.

The one thing sure about politics is that what goes up comes down and what goes down often comes up.

I doubt if any of them would even intentionally double-park.
