Over the last 30 odd years, Democrats have moved to the right and the right has moved into the mental hospital. So what we have is one perfectly good party for hedge fund managers, credit card companies, banks, defense contractors, big agriculture and the pharmaceutical lobby... That's the Democrats.

Socialist? He's not even a liberal.

Democrats can give us wars, you know? Democrats can play the false patriotism card.

There is a big difference between a disappointing friend and a deadly enemy. Of course the Democrats are disappointing. That's what makes them Democrats.

Because it's a grade that means good enough, but just barely. You know why the Republican symbol is 'R'? Because it's the noise a pirate makes when he robs you and feeds you to a shark.

It's made up! It is a script. I call the daily soap opera.

The people who created these things - the doers - are not popular heroes. Our heroes are the talkers who complain about the doers.
