We shouldn't send CIA spooks to overthrow governments.

Although his [Ronald Reagan's] policies were highly unpopular, he was able to keep his head above the slime in which his Administration wallowed because he appeared to believe in what he was saying and doing.

It is campaign money that calls the tune, a fact recognized by every politician within a few minutes after getting into politics.

Our government has conducted enough covert attacks on Third World countries to create enemies everywhere.

The principal reasons that special interests can extract their price from government is money .... Those who do not accept money from PACs are those who have other sources.

Taxpayers are burdened with so-called defense spending that is used not for defense, but to create or hold jobs in someone's congressional district, or to continue to pile up profits for an arms manufacturer.

When voting on the confirmation of a presidential appointee, always vote no, because if he or she is confirmed, it won't be long before your vote is proved politically correct.

The U. S. Senate is ... one place in the world that allows a poor boy to live as though he were a millionaire.

It was when the upper middle class was threatened.... Until then nobody really cared about the war on drugs.
