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

We can support our troops without supporting our president.

I am an advocate of having a gold dollar with Reagan's picture on it, and calling it the Ronnie. The Canadians have the Loonie, and we can have the Ronnie.

If the president comes forward with a strong, qualified nominee, if he, you know, addresses the agenda, if he takes actions, including dealing with perhaps some personnel decisions, I think that people will show that he is moving forward and doing the right thing for our country.

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

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.

There are people who don't vote for a lot of reasons, sometimes as a statement.
