I tremendously admire, and I think we all should, the great work done by our commander in chief, our president George Bush...

When you use force, people get hurt, and when you kill people, their relatives don't like it. And usually war has some unanticipated consequences so it's something you shouldn't launch into, on the expectation that this is going to rally the nation. This is not like 'Friday Night Lights'.

George W. Bush has helped those who have most, hurt those who have least and ignored everyone in between.

I'm spiritual. I'm religious. I'm a strong Christian and I'm a Catholic but I go to a Presbyterian Church. Occasionally I go to the Catholic church too. I take communion. I haven't transferred my membership or anything.

Everybody in the military has a reputation, and usually it doesn't come out to the public.

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

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.
