ADD QUOTES-
(on his political views) John Spencer: Let me tell ya. I'm proud to be a liberal. A liberal is somebody who takes care of their brothers. Uh, who believes that we who are better off should take care of those who are less better off. I don't see that as false responsibility. I see that as what makes America great.
