I believe in a relatively equal society, supported by institutions that limit extremes of wealth and poverty. I believe in democracy, civil liberties, and the rule of law. That makes me a liberal, and I’m...

Democrats see a door opening.

There are many Democrats who want the Senate to serve its historic function as being the arena where controversies can be discussed and investigated, such as Watergate and Iran-Contra,

there are 40 slam dunk states where Republicans or Democrats will win handily.

What is happening is escalating, and then there is escalating beyond that. I go back to 1987, when the Democrats won control of the Senate, President Reagan’s last two years, and it was tough, but...

Politically, Republicans and Democrats are at opposite ends. One’s a burp and the other’s a fart.

Extremes to the right and to the left of any political dispute are always wrong.

It looks to me like they’re [the Democrats] laying down, … What they don’t understand is this isn’t a battle over political philosophy. It’s a battle over what kind of judge. And the conservative kind...

The voters are stepping back and want more information about the two Democrats. They don’t seem to have much of an impression.

I get along with Democrats really well, and I think that’s something that’s unreported. I think it’s partly my libertarian tendencies.

Sex and commerce are fine things, but man cannot live by Viagra and the Dow Jones alone. A life led collecting things and experiences in pursuit of happiness is not necessarily a bad life, but...

The Christian Democrats always made you feel like the poor relation,

I think 2006 may be a very contentious year. The Democrats see a very weakened president, and the Republicans running for re-election are really concerned about relying on Bush’s popularity. I think the Democrats are...

I’m not sure that’s a winning issue for Democrats.

If the Democrats were smart, they would take the bull by the horns and push for really tough lobbying reforms. But they’re not.

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get...

It is not safe to be in Baghdad, it is patently unsafe and that’s true for whatever political persuasion you are. They will kill you if you are Republican, they will kill you if you...
