Fighting for free enterprise means standing up for free markets. The freedom to succeed includes the freedom to fail. We must defend entrepreneurial capitalism against the onslaught of the American Left.
The choice couldn't be more clear. Americans can elect someone who literally personifies the failed establishment in Washington, D.C., or we can choose a leader who will fight every day to make America great again.
More than anything else, let me be clear - we need to be willing to fight for freedom, and free markets, and traditional moral values. That's what the American people want to see this movement and this party return to.
Conservative Republicans are back. We're in the fight for fiscal discipline and limited government, and we are on the side of the American people.
When I was home this weekend, no one I talked to had any interest in talking about who was to blame for Hurricane Katrina. But almost everyone wanted to talk about how we're going to pay for it.
To those who say it would be too difficult to repeal and replace Obamacare, I say it's a two step process. We repeal the Pelosi Congress in 2010 and replace the Obama Administration in 2012.

I was concerned that the ship of conservative governance was veering off course into the dangerous uncharted waters of big government Republicanism.
If I only had 12 years left to live, I'd want to live it as a member of Congress because that was the 12 longest years of my life.
If I saw a restaurant owner refuse to serve a gay couple, I wouldn't eat there anymore. As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it.
