Big Business wants cheap labor costs.
There are certain skills that business people have that are - that are, in fact, helpful in - when it comes to being in political leadership.
The more moral the people are in their business dealings, the less paperwork you need, the more handshakes you can have, the more the wheels of capitalism work better because there's trust in the marketplace. Business ethics is not a joke. And, in fact, I think most businesses that I've dealt with encourage exactly that type of behavior.
The more money you take away from families is the less power that family has. And that's a basic power.
I don't advocate civil disobedience. I do advocate the role of an informed citizen to try to overturn when a court makes a mistake and gets an issue wrong.
I watch the Food Network with my kids. We - yeah, I - I - I generally don't admit that, but I love cooking.
NASCAR and the Daytona 500 are about as American as you can get.
Newt Gingrich would be a much better president than Barack Obama.
We had 90 percent rates, but nobody paid them. And so you had all these exemptions, exclusions, shelters, all this kind of stuff. And that's why most Americans are saying, 'Look, let's just be honest. Let's have lower rates, but everybody pays them.'
Against the advice of my wife, I endorsed Arlen Specter. I should have listened to my wife.
I do care about not 99 percent or 95 percent. I care about the very rich and the very poor. I care about 100 percent of America.
I'm someone who believes that making things creates wealth.
I'm always told that what I say is controversial. Why is it controversial? Because I speak from a tradition that has now fallen out of favor with the dominant media in this country. And so when I say things like marriage should be between one man and one woman, I'm called a bigot.
Everybody knows full well my passion about defeating Barack Obama. Over my dead body would I vote for Barack Obama.
