I have a lot of Republican friends.

I'm a conservative Republican. I have been since I was 15 years old and participated in the 'Goldwater for President' campaign in 1964.

I like a lot of my Republican colleagues, starting with my friend from Indiana, Senator Lugar. We've had an excellent relationship.

I represent what I think is a traditional Republican... a limited government, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense, individual freedom and liberty.

I am very much a Republican.

I have unbelievable support among Republicans.

I'm very much engaged in the political battles, but I'm doing it as a supporter of Republicans out of conservatism rather than an active candidate.

In a genuinely conservative district like mine, it's hard to out-Republican me.

I consider myself a moderate Republican. I have very, very moderate social views, and I'm pretty strong on, on defense matters.
