nerd given
In politics almost all of us are nerds, so that's just a given... but we're cool nerds.
cared democrats eight history honestly remember senate
The Democrats filibustered something in the Senate when I was eight years old. I don't remember what it was on and I didn't honestly care when I was eight years old. I cared about the history and the Senate rules.
people president
The president hasn't come after me yet, but we've had other people come after me!
moving hands voice
I have good voice inflection, that's why I'm good on radio. But on TV, I look too big because I move my hands around a lot.
thinking evil canada
I don't think Obama's a socialist or evil, I just think he's wrong and I disagree with him, he's a leftist, that's what they are in France and in Great Britain and in Canada.
eight years
I got into politics when I was eight years old.
believe keys way
I believe that this is the key, the principle itself is the key to conservatism. Because in many ways if you do not have a principled base you do not have policy and if you do not have policy in many ways you do not have an ideology.
morning idols years
Bill Bennett really became an idol for me. I listened to him every morning from 6 to 9 for, oh, years.
party mean shells
Conservatism is not about the party, because the party is merely the shell. It is the inside - it's the filling that really means something.
people middle-east missionary
Before I got into politics, I wanted to be a missionary to people in the Middle East. I thought it would be better to speak with them in their own language.
giving acting speech
As I've been acting since I was young it's taught me to give a good speech, and, though I say so myself, I did it pretty well.
caring issues bills
I listened to Bill Bennett and tons of other talk show hosts who talked about that and other policies and started branching out and caring about other issues in regards to politics.
rights people want
I want the American people to understand that conservatism is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights.
people political influence
Now that I'm a political pundit, I have the ability to influence people.
