running white house
Yeah, I'm running for the White House again. Well, it's not a run, really; it's sort of a brisk walk.
fall wine bags
I'd learned some things. I knew you weren't supposed to hold a good wine at the top - the paper bag falls off.
lying political trying
Only a cheap politician, greedy for political gain, would try to single out one individual for blame. The fault lies not with the individual but with the system, and that system is Richard Nixon.
thinking issues matter
On the issue of inflation, I think I could solve it no matter how much money it took.
running taken men
Many of you have asked why it's taken me so long to select a running mate. I have no intention of reaching into the political grab bag and grabbing any man to be my running mate. I'm going to reach in and grab a woman!
girl country talking
I'm often asked why I travel around the country talking politics. Is it for humanitarian reasons, community spirit, or is it for the money, the limousines or the girls? The answers are: no, no, yes yes yes!
heart land iowa
If Iowa is the 'heart' land, what part of the human body is Los Angeles?
winning i-will-win ifs
If elected, I will win.
iowa california where-you-live
I want to caucus in Iowa. I'll caucus all over the state. I don't caucus in California. You don't caucus where you live. It doesn't look good.
beautiful land effort
We've got to step up our conservation efforts before it's too late. We're not protecting our lands and natural resources. Take the Grand Canyon for example; I'm sure that at one time it was a beautiful piece of land, and just look at the way we've let it go.
baby kissing hands
It's tough campaigning, kissing hands and shaking babies.
growing-up boys america
In America, any boy can grow up to become president. Or, if he never grows up, vice president.
white house world
Having a comic in the White House will assure stability in foreign relations. The world will continue to respond to foreign initiatives by saying, 'You must be joking.'
wine white house
Now that my wine has been served in the White House, why not me? Who could talk to farmers better than I? Somebody even asked me the other day if I had anything in my platform about taxes. 'Hell yes,' I said. 'Great state. But I wouldn't want to live there.'
