I have often said one of the reasons more blacks don't support Republicans is because they don't trust the GOP establishment.

Will some reporter or some Republican on the Sunday shows please ask why tax cuts raid the non-existent Social Security Trust Fund but all the Democrats' new spending doesn't? Will someone please ask that?

The strength of a nation especially of a republican nation is in the intelligent and well ordered homes of the people.

The President has not created any Ford constituency unique from that of any Republican President. The one exception to this is that he does show unique strength with young voters for a Republican.

I've thought about it not a lot but I thought my relationship with Congress - the Democrats and Republicans - would help me get some things done. Not everything but at least they'd be willing to try.

In reality Republicans have long been at war with clean energy. They have ridiculed investments in solar and wind power bashed energy-efficiency standards attacked state moves to promote renewable energy and championed laws that would enshrine taxpayer subsidies for fossil fuels while stripping them from wind and solar.
