Los Alamos has been hit by an 18-wheeler, and the government was driving that 18-wheeler.
New Mexico is 2-to-1 Democrat. I got elected as a Republican. I think I did a great job of showing people that government doesn't have to spend money to make you happy, that government really needs to be providing a level playing field.
If I was a state, I would like to see education left to the schools themselves, but I don't want the federal government involved in education. I think that it ends up setting standards that cost you time and money and don't make any difference in education. I want to stop that.
I support gay unions. I think the government should get out of the marriage business completely - leave marriages to the churches. And grant civil unions to gay couples, grant civil unions to a man and woman.
Unlike President Obama, I am not afraid to state, without a wink or a nod, that the government has no right to tell us who we can marry or not marry.
I think the world looks down on Republicans for their socially conservative views, which includes religion in government.
I think that the best that government can do for you and I as individuals is to empower you and I to make decisions that only you and I should make.
One of the things government should be around for is to deal with catastrophes. It should do that well. To me, that's a government function, and we shouldn't be playing political games with it.
I think the government should be out of the marriage business and leave marriage to the churches.
I was opposed to the government mandating that restaurants not allow people to smoke, believing it becomes the customer's choice whether they go in or not. But then, I thought, 'What about the employees? Aren't they hostage to a smoking environment, even if they don't smoke?'
Government Picking Winners and Losers = Corruption. When government tries to pick winners and losers, the inevitable consequence is corruption. Yes, corruption. If not in a legal sense, certainly in a moral sense
We just wanted to give him this and more.
Control it, regulate it, tax it, ... If you legalize it we might actually have a healthier society.
An FBI agent and a Carter County deputy went to the scene, ... As they were driving up they noticed at a pay phone one of the fugitives -- (Charles) Jordan. They immediately arrested him without incident.
