If you think what you see on TV is prejudiced, it is. Follow your instincts.
I still think a reasonable question is, would we be better off with [Muamar] Gadhafi and Bashar al-Assad still in there and Mubarak still there and Saddam [Hussein] there than the crap we have got looking at us now?
There ought to be an onus on the people that want a law, rather than people that don`t need a new law.
It's a fact of life that positive reasons don't always get people to vote. You need some negative reasons.
I think we all [americans] think we're a special country. But the question is, what - what call does that give us?
I don't believe he had a responsibility to even answer that question - you have no responsibility to answer personal questions that people have no right to ask you.
I care about Roger Sterling, one of the most subtle and amazing characters in dramatic history [Mad men]. This guys who knows precisely who he is, yet leaves us time after time hoping desperately for him to finally grab control of his life and some responsibility for those around him.

I think Bernie`s [Sanders] setting a direction in the way that [Barry] Goldwater when he lost - I`m not saying he`s going to lose. We don`t know what is going to happen. It`s early. But I think he`s already set a lot of themes.
I`m closer to anybody who believes that we should lead not from behind, but from the front. Rand Paul is one step behind, leading from behind. So, yes, even [Barack] Obama is more aggressive. Obama believes you can kill Anwar al-Awlaki without getting a court order.
I think, like Ronald Reagan, in another way, in a secular way, John Paul II was a great communicator, but he was also a man of deep conviction.
Nothing is as important as the biggest day in your life.
The whole reason we organize grassroots is, we think any politician that gets elected needs to be held accountable 365 days a year.
