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.

nature party science
Someone is an ignoramus who would say that, 'Oh, we had three hurricanes this year. This proves that somehow the climate is warming.' The earth is 4.5 billion years old, and you're going to say that we had four hurricanes and so it proves a theory?
debt lines conservative
To me, there is no greater threat than our debt. I'm the only fiscal conservative on the stage because I'm willing to hold the line on all spending.
liberty individual fearful
We shouldn't be fearful of freedom, we shouldn't be fearful of individual liberty.
