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

I'm like a woman scorned. I'm prepared to continue to kick their fanny until the last day I'm alive on this Earth because they have mistreated too many people.

I think the important thing is for the president to show action. The people in America want to know that we're listening to them and their concerns.

It seems that nearly every American either has a share of federal spending or has a close relative who does.

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.

Why do they kill people of other religions because of religion? Why do they hate the Israelis and despise their right to exist? Why do they hate each other? Why do Sunnis kill Shiites? How do they tell the difference? They all look the same to me.
