I am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody: Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians - I'll work with Martians if - and the if is critical - they're willing to cut spending and reduce the debt.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Make no mistake: I will work with both Democrats and Republicans to cut wasteful spending and reduce our debt in a balanced, responsible way.
I'll work with anyone - and I really do mean that - Democrat, Republican, independent, Libertarian, contrarian, vegetarian.
I'm happy to work with Democrats. After all, they have to represent their districts just as I have to represent mine.
I did look for compromise. I worked in a bipartisan way.
What I've said about compromise, I hope to build a conservative majority so bipartisanship becomes Democrats joining Republicans to roll back the size of government, reduce the bureaucracy, and get America moving again.
I was entirely comfortable reaching across the Senate aisle to work with Democrats.
I'm willing to fight for Social Security, Medicare, student loans, U.S. jobs, equal pay, progressive taxation and full employment.
My view is, Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter, my view is I'm in Washington to try to work with people.
I sure tried to help deliver compromise, consensus, bipartisanship.
That is why everyone in politics, and we do it, must make sure that they do not depend on one single interest group. A good compromise is one where everybody makes a contribution.
