We could potentially be looking at taking an enormous amount of people from Houston, ... We're going to have to prepare in the event. It would tax us if we had to, but we would do it.
I have often been characterized by one sound bite, and people say, 'That is the whole of Mike Huckabee, because we have him on this off-the-cuff moment.'
I have great respect for people who live out their beliefs. For example, Ed Begley Jr. is an environmentalist, but he really lives his lives, and is he very prudent in the way he lives. He's cautious. He's not like an Al Gore that flies around in a private jet and burns 20,000 gallons a day on his jet.
I think a lot of people in America do not understand that the basis of true liberty can't happen without an objective moral standard by which we live our lives.
I find it unnecessary, useless and frankly a bit unnecessary to get into all sorts of debates over President Obama's religion or the authenticity of his birth. I know for some people that it is an obsession. It is not with me.
Barack Obama seems intent on enrolling more people on food stamps. Mitt Romney's focus is going to be on generating more jobs that will make food-stamps unnecessary for them.
Things that have happened with Enron and companies like that, where they've squandered their employees' pension funds, I think it has brought a new level of anxiety. People don't feel like they can trust their employer.
A lot of people really like Jeb Bush. I'm one of them. I think Jeb Bush is a great guy. He was a terrific governor in Florida. He's smart. He's articulate. So I can certainly understand why people would him an attractive candidate.
I'm always flattered when people on the far Left manufacture a new version of being 'offended.' They can be quite creative in finding something that hurts their feelings.
We've just decided we're going to do the things that meet folks' needs with the hope and anticipation that we'll be reimbursed, ... ...We would certainly want someone to be more worried about people than paperwork.
We're doing everything in our power to be a good neighbor, ... Our office has been flooded by calls today from people asking what they can do. The best things they can do now is lend a helping hand to those who are in our state to escape the storm, making a donation to the Red Cross disaster relief fund and pray for those who are still trapped.
A lot of folks are under an extreme amount of stress, ... Tempers are frayed, and people are angry after going without electricity for a week.
I think a lot of people want to blame somebody, like somebody pushed the button. It's really an issue of world market conditions. When the demand exceeds the supply, the price goes up. This isn't complicated economics ... If they blame their elected officials, be they Democrat or Republican, they're really making a huge mistake. People want government to control things, but they don't get to control all the world markets.
I'm not against anybody. I'm really not. I'm not a hater. I'm not homophobic. I honestly don't care what people do personally in their individual lives.
