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

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

I don't agree with the libertarians. I want my security first. I'll deal with all the details after that.

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.

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.

Racial discrimination does not always violate public policy.

We can support our troops without supporting our president.
