Republicans who criticize the use of two languages, I think, make a great mistake.
We can be civil. We can still be friends, and be Democrats and Republicans, and have different views.
I went to my first national convention in 1976, when my family supported [Ronald] Reagan over [Gerald] Ford, so we've always been Republicans, but we've always wanted the Republican Party to be the party of fiscally conservative, limited-government types.

Democrats, Republicans, independents, people across America. If you don't vote for me, I still want to be your president.
The Republicans learned well from Bill Clinton.
The Republicans find their faith imperiled by Barney Frank's marriage. There is always a shadow on the wall, a monster in the closet, a mysterious rustling in the teeming underbrush of the conservative Id.
There wasn't any Republicans in Washington's day. No Republicans, no Boll Weevil, no income tax, no cover charge, no disarmament conference, no luncheon clubs, no stop lights, no static, no head winds. My Lord, living in those days, who wouldn't be great?
