If the administration asks for $5 and Congress appropriates $4, that's what they get. If the government creates a subterfuge by going outside the government to raise money through a private entity, that's a violation of the law.

In the Senate, where 60 votes are required to do anything important, you have to work with your colleagues on both sides of the aisle.

If Mr. Bush and Mr. Forbes don't get most of the votes, they should be arrested for wasting money.

I need to know the price of a gallon of milk and a dozen eggs. I need to know right now.

I think Americans are - particularly, independent voters are looking at Washington, and they see too many taxes, too much spending, too much debt, too many Washington takeovers, and they want to provide a check and a balance to what they see as a runaway, overreaching Washington government.

I've got a new rule. It'll be rule No. 312. If it's three days before a campaign, don't believe anything new you hear about anybody.

I love Washington, D.C.; I love this country, but I think over the last hundred years we've built up would I call an arrogant empire: people who think the rest of us are too stupid to make our own decisions.

When I get close to an election, I look to 'Lamar Alexander's Little Plaid Book' for inspiration.

President Bush and I had asked Congress to appropriate a half-billion dollars to school vouchers. We didn't get it, and we were disappointed. But we did not go out and form a corporation to pay for it. That would have been a problem.
