You often see in Washington those who disagree you described as stupid or evil. It's one of the most unfortunate trends of modern political discourse. Portraying opponents as too dumb to know the truth but smart enough and wanting people to suffer.

In Washington, particularly, the loyal opposition has a job to be the opposition. But you can't stop there.

If it takes talking about unpleasant truths to change Washington, then so be it.

Sometimes you've got to make a hard decision, and there's a real reluctance to make hard decisions in Washington.

The more insanity that comes from Washington, D.C., the stronger the loyal opposition becomes.

I'm the only honest person in Washington.

I'm not a Washington person.

Too often in Washington special interests urge us to fight one another just because we belong to different parties. It is time for this to stop and for Washington to focus on what needs to be done.

Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.
