I never said all Democrats were saloonkeepers; what I said was all saloonkeepers are Democrats.

You won't catch Liberal Democrats describing trade unionists as wreckers.

The Blue Dogs are all Democrats; they are. And I'll tell you, in terms of wearing the Democratic label, I think they're the true Democrats, because that label usually hurts them when they're running for election.

I come from a long line of saloon keepers and proselytizers, and I draw from both sides.

The whole new Democratic Party is the old Republican Party. We have a whole bunch of elephants running around in donkey's clothes.

It is wrong to believe that Hispanics are Democrats. Hispanics are traditionally and historically conservative, not just socially conservative, but fiscally conservative.

Democrats don't relate to middle-class people.

Democrats hate Democrats most of all.

So I'm in the Republican Party for the same reason I was in the Democratic Party: to make sure blacks are included, along with everyone else.
