I think that if politics is just about getting your backside on important seats, then it's a pretty worthless endeavor.

It's always valuable for someone running for president... to have as much bipartisan support as possible.

Politicians are there to try to deal with stuff, but sometimes it's both fortunate and unfortunate that people like us have more... not involvement, but more power in the stuff that we say.

I believe that a politician needs to be with people.

When it comes to helping make the country strong, we in Congress have an important role to play.

I think that politics needs a bit of spicing up.

For me, I have no political ego in this thing with respect to any other leader and what they might feel is appropriate or necessary in what they're going to try to do... We need everybody on the front lines.

I think the fact is that anybody who goes into politics feels like 'I can make a difference'. But it's not one person, you need so many others.

It's a shame and a disgrace that so few people take part in the political process.

A life in politics is for people who know themselves and know where their own line is between loyalty and honesty.
