I want the President to look across the country and find the best man woman or minority that he can find

Freedom is never easily won, but once established, freedom lasts, spreads and chokes out tyranny.

We can support our troops without supporting our president.

Money is becoming one of the most corrosive elements of politics.

My job as majority leader is be supportive of our troops, try to have input as decisions are made and to look at those decisions after they're made ... not to march in lock step with everything the president decides to do.

I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years either.

One of the things I really want is for people to feel the civic responsibility, and not just refuse to vote out of protest.
