My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The big thing is to make this country – quit discriminating against people just because they’re gay. You don’t have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. They’re American citizens.

Perserverance. . .that’s been the story of my family.

We are on the Colorado — that means something more to me than electric power or a harnessed river.

There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda.

I’ll put an end to the idea that a woman’s body belongs to her. Nazi ideals demand that the practice of abortion shall be exterminated with a strong hand.

Global warming is a political issue. It is as much a political issue to the left as abortion is. It’s as big a political issue as health care is.
