Already the scent of victory is in the air.

War creates its own intensity of hatred... You don't want to use force except as an absolute last resort.

One night I walked out of the church when the priest said that we should never have fought the Revolutionary war and every war was bad. It was 4th of July. It was an outrageously political statement. I just never felt right when people in the church would take these overtly political positions especially when I felt like I was a good Christian, I was serving my country, and I just didn't feel like I deserved to be lambasted by the priest on the 4th of July.

I would have been a Republican, if Karl Rove had returned my phone calls.

Already the scent of victory is in the air.

I'm pro-choice, pro-affirmative action, pro-environment and pro-labor. I was either going to be the loneliest Republican in America or I was going to be a happy Democrat.

It doesn't take any more energy to create a big dream than it does to create a little one.
