I'm a centrist.

For most of my life, I've considered myself a political centrist.

I tend to vote Republican, but I don't like the hardcore views on either side, and I'm not in bed with anybody.

The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers.

By temperament and disposition and emotions, I'm a liberal; but in my beliefs about what's best for the country, I'm a centrist.

I am not a rabid partisan.

There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it.

Democrats never agree on anything, that's why they're Democrats. If they agreed with each other, they would be Republicans.
