My view is, Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter, my view is I'm in Washington to try to work with people.

I am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody: Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians - I'll work with Martians if - and the if is critical - they're willing to cut spending and reduce the debt.

I am conservative, there's no doubt about it. But you can be conservative and still work with people, and that's what my intentions are.

I'm going to reach out to everybody, Democrat, Republican and independent. I'm going to work with all the people in the district, and whether they're an 'R' or a 'D' doesn't matter.

I would consider myself a rather staunch libertarian.

I'm neither Republican nor Democrat. I've worked for the past five administrations.

I believe I am a moderate Democrat: I am pro-business and also progressive.

I'm a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.

I'm basically a libertarian, and I'm a conservative on economic matters, and I'm a social liberal.
