"Ive always said you that need to keep it on the table and you need to look at these things because now people are dying because of this administration. And, you know, thats what -- thats the truth. And they wont change course. Theyre ignoring the Congress. They keep signing -- these signing statements, which mean that hes decided not to enforce the law. This is as close as weve ever come to a dictatorship."
"I have to say that after chemotherapy, Barbara Boxer just isnt that scary anymore."
"First, there are good people out there; they just don’t make so much of a racket. Second, if you don’t make waves, then the bad guys don’t get washed overboard. And third, nobody bothers to bad-mouth you unless they’re afraid of you. So think of it as kind of a compliment."
"The more I have been attacked for my views and actions, the more Ive stood up to it, and the more support I have received."
"Theres so much revenue that comes in from a cap-and-trade system that you can really go to a person in a congressional district and get enough votes there by saying, ‘What do you need? What do you want?’"
