I am not interested in splitting the white vote.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Your vote can't be separated from your faith.
I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ask for the ballot for the Negro and not for the woman.
I don't want to come to Washington to be just another vote. I want to lead on issues that are important.
It is with unwelcome frequency that I find myself the deciding vote.
I don't vote.
I'm not someone who believes in wasting my vote.
I'm not taking votes based on getting re-elected.
But on the big things, I'm not going to trim in order to win public opinion. Because I really don't want to serve in the Senate if I arrive there without permission to do the things I think need to be done.
Don't buy a single vote more than necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.
The new rule in American politics is that no one can make it to the White House without the Hispanic vote.
