I don't expect people to agree with all my votes.
As a member of Congress who represents one of the few true swing districts in the country, I have always tried to engage groups of people who don't necessarily agree with all my votes or opinions.
I think a fair amount of my votes were 'not-for-Ortiz,' votes and I'm going to have to work hard to earn the 'for Blake' votes.
Never expect the votes to come.
You can't just give a speech and expect people to fall down and agree with you.
The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
I want to attract as many people as I can to listen to my show, and I don't expect everyone to always agree with me.
The way to get people's votes is to say that all their problems are caused by other people, and that you will stop those other people from giving them trouble. But if you really want to help, then you can tell them the truth and risk losing their votes.
I think people in my district expect me to work with the president. It doesn't mean we have to agree all the time. I don't feel any extra pressure.
I do not agree with this notion that somehow if I go to try to attract votes and to lead people toward a better tomorrow somehow I get subscribed to some-some doctrine gets subscribed to me.
I never miss a vote; I think that's the power of the people. A lot of people fought and died for us to have votes, for women to have votes in particular - your vote is your one weapon.
The people who cast the votes decide nothing; the people who count the votes decide everything.
It's too much to expect in an academic setting that we should all agree, but it is not too much to expect discipline and unvarying civility.
I don't agree that everyone should agree with everyone's lifestyle. I think that some people aren't going to agree, but I think that when you're mean and when you ridicule people it's a sign of your own insecurities.
You will expect me to discuss the late election. Well, as nearly as I can learn, we did not have enough votes on our side.
I do not agree with Thomas Wolfe... about anything. You can go home again as long as you don't expect home to be what it was when you left it. Or you don't expect yourself to be what you were when you left home.
