The Republican Party, doesn’t want to work with Democrats to get anything done.

Is that true? No, not quite.

I’ll be happy to work with as many Democrats as possible, when they join us, not when we join them.

I’ll give you a great example.

This Al Gore initiative, $300 million initiative, global warming. Newt Gingrich is going to do a commercial with Pelosi, I think. That’s working with Democrats while compromising our own beliefs. Newt’s not the only one. There’s a bunch of people doing it.

I don’t want liberalism to triumph.

The Democrat Party is the home of liberalism. I’m all for bringing Democrats and independents into the Republican Party, but not as Democrats and independents.

The problem with working with Democrats is it’s never that way.

Republicans always work with Democrats. Democrats never work with us.

There may be compromises on judges now and then, but in terms of the real, meaningful policies and definitions of, say, the role of government, there’s no reason to work with Democrats on that! They have nothing in common with us on that; nothing of substance. I look at it as a sellout.

When Republicans want to work with Democrats, to get things done, generally, it’s the Republicans, or the conservatives, that are compromising everything. The Democrats never do, or very rarely, unless you have a powerful presence like a Ronald Reagan who was able to get a lot of things done working with Democrats, but it was the Democrats who caved with Reagan.

We’re the ones caving now. This burns me up!
