“I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn’t here.”

“I can assure you that, even though I won’t be sitting through every single moment of the seminars, nor will the vice president, we will look at the summaries.”

“Tommy [Thompson, Health and Human Services secretary,] is a good listener, and he’s a pretty good actor, too.”

“The trial lawyers are very politically powerful. … But here in Texas we took them on and got some good medical—medical malpractice.”

“I firmly believe the death tax is good for people from all walks of life all throughout our society.”
