In a politically diverse nation, only by finding that common ground can we achieve results for the common good.

Sometimes, we find common ground; more often, we don't.

When you look at all of the conservative groups in town and across the country, we all agree on the same things. Where we sometimes get into a disagreement is over the tactics to get to the endpoint.

I think that, especially among conservatives, there's a clear understanding that there are three legs to the conservative stool. There are the free-market economics conservatives, the social conservatives, and the national-security conservatives.

Conservatives really don't believe in politics as the primary instrument of getting along in life and therefore don't tend to put their energy into it a way people left of center do.

Conservatives divide the world in terms of good and evil while liberals do it in terms of the rich and poor.

The main difference between liberals and conservatives is that conservatives are honest about it. We're kind of dorks about it. We are kind of like Dungeons and Dragons geeks.

This open eye for possible alternatives which need to be scrutinized before we can determine which is the best grounded is profoundly disconcerting to all conservatives and to almost all revolutionaries.

I don't accept the idea that there are two sides to any issue. I think that the middle ground is to be found within most of us.

Conservatives are always right about everything. We are. We are.
