I have an interest in getting government officials to talk to me about National Security affairs. You know, that's my bread and butter; that's how I make my living.

Well, I am not afraid of the word 'liberal.'

If I were a liberal Democrat, people would say I'm the super genius of all time. The super genius of all time. If you're a conservative Republican, you've got to fight for your life. It's really an amazing thing.

I am personally quite liberal.

I'm a liberal, but I'm not biased. Seriously.

A liberal to me is one who - and it suits some of the dictionary definitions - is unbeholden to any specific belief or party or group or person, but makes up his or her mind on the basis of the facts and the presentation of those facts at the time. That defines what I am.

I am a liberal and always have been - just not the wild-eyed character the Republicans made me out to be.

I am speaking as a Republican now, not a national security expert, but I believe that my party needs to come together.
