You can’t undo a thousand years of history by sending military troops into a country.

I don't know a single Republican in Montana who would get in a fight in a bowling alley for John McCain.

We need to work our level best in this legislative session to help grow Montana's economy, so that grandchildren can stay in Montana, grandchildren can visit their grandmother and grandfather by driving across town, not flying across the country.

You can't pay for healthcare if we're sending a trillion dollars a year to dictators.

Good ideas are the backbone of good government.

I challenge you to be dreamers; I challenge you to be doers and let us make the greatest place in the world even better.

I do feel a lot more comfortable when my dog is with me.

Twenty-six states have passed renewable portfolio standards, which simply says somewhere between 15% and 30% of their electricity will come from renewables by such-and-such a year. In Washington, D.C., they haven't done a damn thing.
