The more you observe politics, the more you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other.

It's always an uphill battle. You know, I'm a Republican in Maryland. This is the bluest of the blue.

From the political angle, I'm trying to be apolitical if you will. I mean people say, 'Are you a red state or blue state?', I say, 'I'm purple.' I think there are great ideas on both sides of the aisle and neither side has cornered the market.

The Republican Party has become overwhelmingly so extreme that it's hardly a traditional political party anymore.

I think the best thing that can happen to the Republican Party is that it is identified as a party organized around a set of principles, ideals and ideas for our future.

As the Republican Party has moved farther and farther to the right, I have found myself increasingly at odds with the Republican philosophy and more in line with the philosophy of the Democratic Party.

There are worse things than being thought a Republican.

A healthy degree of party unity among Democrats and Republicans has deteriorated into bitter partisan warfare.

In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.

The problem is, the Republican Party hasn't done anything to make this country better and I speak as a Republican.
