Quote

I am a United States citizen and I vote.

The fact is, I can vote for anybody; independents, Republicans, Democrats. But I'm a registered Democrat in the District of Columbia.

I am the epitome of a citizen legislator.

I am a Democrat. I have been one all of my life.

I am not here as my party's nominee. I am unique among the 100 senators in that regard.

I'm not a politician. I think that uniquely qualifies me to become president of the U.S.

I represent what I think is a traditional Republican... a limited government, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense, individual freedom and liberty.

I am a Democrat. But I am an independent Democrat.

I'm a Republican. I'm running in a Republican primary.
