I'm not a partisan.

We seek no wider war.

What is not conservative about saying, 'Don't go to war unless we go to war properly with a full declaration of war and no other way?'

We have war when at least one of the parties to a conflict wants something more than it wants peace.

I am not a rabid partisan.

As partisans of our own way of life, we cannot help thinking in a partisan manner.

I am not as partisan as people think I am.

I can't influence how other parties choose to vote.

We simply must look beyond partisan goals and find common ground as Americans. It is imperative that the Members of Congress recognize that partisanship will not serve the American people.
