interesting used
The music has to be as interesting. It has to keep taking you into places that you're at least not used to.
kids
My kids were targeted on Facebook by protesters.
winter olympics private-sector
Mitt Romney turned businesses around in the private sector. He saved the Winter Olympics.
wise long political
A wise governor told me a long time ago, political capital you don't get more of by keeping it. You get it by using it.
song moving black-and-white
I'm not so in with the prescriptive avant-garde agenda. I can do that sort of thing, but I feel that I'm still interested enough in song structure. When I look at a lyric on the page, the lyric is alive to me, looking like soldiers in a field. I can move it around, and it's very black-and-white.
kids firsts term
I joke with my kids, who love history, that I'll be the only governor to be elected twice in his first term.
thinking names next
And I think Governor Romney has a shot if the 'R' next to his name doesn't just stand for 'Republican,' it stands for 'reformer.
support republican unbelievable
I have unbelievable support among Republicans.
song interesting people
Melodies are far more interesting. They are there, in your face, in certain sections of the songs. People do complain about the melody thing, but we do hit patches of melody and beauty, as well as the other stuff.
hate thinking office
I've often heard the complaint from both Democrat and Republican voters alike that they hate the fact that politicians get into office and they - and they're fearful, they're fearful to make tough decisions because they think more about the next election than they do about the next-generation.
hate cutting government
I hate big government, but I really hate a government that doesn't work. So when 'they say we either have to raise taxes or cut core services,' it's actually a 'false choice.
simple government boss
So why am I facing a recall election? Simple: the big government union bosses from Washington want their money. They don't like the fact that I did something fundamentally pro-worker; something that's truly about freedom.
people unions intense
The people who are making you feel under attack is your union leadership, and they're doing it for politically intense reasons.
moving america people
Looking at America's history, ordinary people did something extraordinary. Leaders risked their lives for freedoms that we take for granted today.That's what instills confidence. That's us. We will move forward and prosper because that's who we are as Americans.
