"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

He was solidly pro choice and thought the worst thing for this country would be trying to mesh religion and politics. He was correct.

Runner up quote, " I think every good Christian ought to kick Falwell right in the ass."--Barry Goldwater

No, I'd never have voted for him, he was dead wrong on economic matters He did have some good points.
