In 2006 it was a horrible election year, and, you know, I lost. But I lost because I continued to be a constant conservative, and the last six years I was someone who was a national figure in the sense that I was the third ranking Republican in leadership and I had just run President Bush's campaign in Pennsylvania.

There's a high level of frustration with the two-party system out there.

I am afraid I am a constant disappointment to my party. The fact of the matter is, the longer I am president the less of a party man I seem to become.

I've been in a lot of elections.

I did vote Obama. But I've never believed in the authenticity of the two-party system.

I entered politics in 1967; since then, continuously, I am getting elected... Fortunately I never lost the elections.

I joined a Republican Party that was used to losing, used to being browbeaten by the Democrats. I represent a totally different style.

I think there's a lot of problems with being a two-party system.

It was not my wish to come into politics. I was not a public person; I preferred to spend my birthdays with family and friends. But the 2008 elections were fraudulent, so I decided to finance the opposition to make them stronger.

I spent a lot of years trying to beat the system and, in the end, the system kicked my behind good.
