To me, a politician's job is to listen to constituents' problems and try to sort them out.

I don't usually make political comments, because I am a businessman, not a politician.

One of my unique features as a politician is that I am so blunt and so forthright, and I put my cards on the table to such a degree people aren't used to, that there's nothing left to hide.

My close proximity to many of the newsmakers can give me a different perspective about people in politics and what they might say than others who don't know them.

Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, such as working for a living.

I'm a politician. I run for office. That's my profession.

Even if politicians spew confusing, convoluted jargon, these people are still meant to represent me, and the only way that happens is if I stay informed and vote.

Actually, I think I come at things a whole different way from most people, and, you know, sometimes political answers are one way to solve the problem, and sometimes there are better ways to do it.

I'm glad I'm not a politician.
