“Frankly, earmarking is not the problem. It is a symptom of the problem...” — Claire McCaskill Quote

Frankly, earmarking is not the problem. It is a symptom of the problem.

I'm going to work with Republicans when they do things I agree with and I'm going to fight Republicans when they're doing things that I think are damaging.

When I was a single, working mom with a newborn, I learned just how vital it is to have comprehensive, affordable health care.

After holding hearings to get input from Missourians, I led the fight to pass legislation that protects seniors from predatory lending in the mortgage industry. I stood up against efforts that would make it harder for seniors to vote, and battled telemarketers bent on defrauding seniors.

Frankly, I don't want to let trolls into my life.

I don't, frankly, want to be on television.

Sometimes you have to see the thing to know that it exists. Maybe there's a queer person in a town, but they don't feel comfortable or safe coming out, frankly, and the only representation they feel that they have or connection they have is on television or in a movie, and that's really powerful.

I'm very good at what I do, and I don't turn my hand to something unless I'm very good at it, frankly.

If I'm being honest, I think I'd be good at television; I just don't know if I am interested, because you are kind of geographically responsible to a location, and frankly I don't know if I retired from tennis so that I could sit around tennis tournaments 12 hours a day.
