I think the president has created political trouble for himself. She may turn out to be a great judge … but my own reaction to it is that it is not my fight, and I...

The one big strategic error – which was a political error and an economic error of grand proportions – was the prescription drug bill.

They like Bush. But they are frustrated and disappointed with some things the administration has done. And the frustration is deep because government spending and growth of government are at the core of beliefs of...

This is the dangerous side of what’s going on.

We don’t just look at a small piece of the SOA stack. We’ve integrated all these technologies to work together as part of a platform.

I don’t think that he’s made much of an impression outside Washington as a strong leader.

This is not a partisan issue. It is an issue of safeguarding the fundamental freedoms of all Americans so that future administrations do not interpret our laws in ways that pose constitutional concerns.

George Bush is a conservative and most conservatives like him and support him. But most conservatives, at one level or another, are troubled by much of what they see going on in our government.

It is the most politically volatile issue out there. What Bush has done is not really change the program. He’s always had border control in it. But now he has put border security first, rather...

But we are happy to acquire technologies where they help us fill out the pieces of the stack that we can plug in, without causing problems for our development team or customers.

If they want the conservatives to play on their team, they have to treat them like members of the team rather than outsiders.

I do think that a lot of Americans are saying that in pursuing his perfectly legitimate mission to protect us from terrorism, is the president forgetting some of the safeguards that we would hope he...

Their argument is extremely dangerous in the long term because it can be used to justify all kinds of things that I’m sure neither the president nor the attorney general has thought about. …The American...

I’ve been astounded by Bush in his relationship with Republicans in Congress. In my lifetime, there has been no Republican president who has spent as much effort and as much time electing people of his...

Both sides know the last election was just the beginning of the next election. It’s clear there has been no attempt to have any kind of getting along.

Fusion is all about integrating SOA technologies together. We want to establish Fusion Middleware as the SOA standard for BAM implementations.

Her Second Amendment positions would lose her the primary in North Carolina unless she modifies them.

We don’t want this argument to be obscured by those who would suggest that anyone who is for more and more government power is somehow on the side of the right, and those who are...

You can think of our BAM technology as a real-time system for building operational dashboards to let you understand what’s going on in your business processes.

From now on, this administration will find it difficult to muster support on the right without explaining why it should be forthcoming. The days of the blank check have ended.

The electorate on which they depend is getting more and more frustrated. If turnout drops 1.5 percent, that’s a big deal.

Bush’s compassionate conservatism has morphed into big government conservatism, and that isn’t what the base is looking for. The White House and the congressional leadership have got to reinvigorate the Republican base. In off-year elections...

No one would deny the government the power it needs to protect us all. But when that power poses a threat to the basic rights that make our nation unique, its exercise must be carefully...

The flow of blood has been stanched.

I’m 57, and I was the youngest person there. Everybody grew up and went away.

Most conservatives have been historically strong defense people, but have been reluctant to embrace the idea that America can dictate the form of government to other states and other peoples.

If he (Bush) comes up with a winnable conservative nominee, even if that person faces a fight in Congress, he will have drawn his people back to him.

The policies that are being pursued here are not only economically destructive, they’re politically destructive, and ultimately there’s going to be a political as well as an economic price paid by the folks who are...

Big government conservatism is an oxymoron. In 1965 Lyndon Johnson built public housing. Now it looks like we will build trailer parks. This will be defining, in the sense that the neo-cons will end up...

You can’t do these things on a basis of trust. There have to be some sort of checks and balances. Lurking behind this is something nobody knows about.

The one big strategic error — which was a political error and an economic error of grand proportions — was the prescription drug bill.

The activist left is running this like their Spanish Civil War, dusting off all their weapons, seeing what works, taking the measure of the new administration, taking the measure of the Democrats in the Senate....

There would be anger in the Republican base and among conservatives because they would think that the leadership, looking at polls or making a deal, had short-circuited a process that they take very seriously.
