Quotes 

• Sen. Arnold Vinick : What do you know about Republican politics?

  Bruno Gianelli : I don't care about Republican politics.

  Sen. Arnold Vinick : Well, that I believe.

  Bruno Gianelli : I don't care about Democratic politics, either. Okay, I do care about the Democrats. Look, they don't know it yet; you are the best thing to ever happen to them. You're moving the Republicans away from the right wing. You're not saying Democrats are not patriotic; you're just saying that your approach is better than theirs. You are making politics a fair fight again. What? You think I'm a spy? I snuck in here, I'm trying to steer you wrong?

  Sen. Arnold Vinick : The thought has crossed my mind.

  Bruno Gianelli : I have spent the last 20 years ripping this country apart, finding wedge issues to separate the voters, you don't have to do that to win; not this time. You do this right, you can do a lot more than win. You can stop using politics to divide this country. You can show us how much we agree, instead of how much we disagree. You can put this country back together.
