gun want
I don't want my marriage or my guns registered in Washington.
decision grandfather boards
In 1997, I, along with 200 other young ophthalmologists formed the National Board of Ophthalmology to protest the American Board of Ophthalmology's decision to grandfather in the older ophthalmologists and not require them to recertify.
thinking government two
I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator.
racism favors institutional-racism
I'm in favor of everything with regards to ending institutional racism.
party winning bigger
You don't win as a party unless you become a bigger party.
america weapons terrorist
I've been accused of wanting to allow terrorists to have weapons to attack America.
running thinking conservative
I think really that you shouldn't run as a conservative if you're not.
country winning suits
The problem is that in our country, they make it almost impossible for politicians to win anything. In England it's easier to win a libel suit.
party thinking government
I went to my first national convention in 1976, when my family supported [Ronald] Reagan over [Gerald] Ford, so we've always been Republicans, but we've always wanted the Republican Party to be the party of fiscally conservative, limited-government types. And I think, sometimes, we haven't done that as well.
winning want
You don't go into politics unless you want to win.
rights support republican
No Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act.
government debt want
You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they're tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government.
should-have president answers
When I asked the president [Barack Obama], can you kill an American on American soil, it should have been an easy answer. It's an easy question. It should have been a resounding and unequivocal no. The president's response, he hasn't killed anyone yet.
law community drug
We should not have drug laws or a court system that disproportionately punishes the black community.
