I try to be respectful of how other people think, I try to listen to what they're saying.

I think most people are not willing to make the tough choices.

I think stimulus money is an absolute mistake.

In my case, I think people are surprised that I'm doing exactly what I said I was going to do when I ran, because that's not the typical politician.

I know that you've got to watch how you spend all the dollars. That's not the easiest thing to do. That's not what people think is the most fun thing to do, but it's the right thing to do.
