In politics stupidity is not a handicap.

A lot of disgruntled Democrats that don't like Obama - old-line Democrats, some of them even conservative - will never vote for a Republican ticket, but they will vote for me as an independent.

I always tell people I'm running against two Democrats, one that admits it and one that does not.

I think one of the greatest things about the Republican Party is the understanding, we don't point fingers and we have class.

In a genuinely conservative district like mine, it's hard to out-Republican me.

The Democrats complain; I choose to compete.

The more I ponder some of the boneheaded decisions GOP candidates have made of late, I can't bring myself to believe that they are serious about capturing more than about 8 percent of the black vote.

I don't understand how anybody's still a Democrat or a Republican. I don't know what they're basing it on.

If Democrats were good at thinking like Republicans, they would see the light and stop being Democrats.

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