simple two telling-the-truth
What I've tried to do in politics is two very simple things: tell the truth and do what I said I would do.
country waiting lawyer
This country is always changing. But my point about the Supreme Court is the Supreme Court didn't wait for the country to change. Five unelected lawyers overruled 320 million Americans.
citizens outcomes way
The proper way to make policy changes is for you to convince your fellow citizens that there is a better policy outcome than the current one. And then in state legislatures, for those state legislatures to vote that change.
want problem politician
One of the problems in Washington is there are far too many politicians who desperately just want to get re-elected.
thinking leader challenges
I think our nation faces enormous challenges, and we need leaders who are willing to tell the truth and do the right thing regardless of the consequences.
kids fighting debt
I'll fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.
zero thinking people
Carli Fiorina thinks the answer for Social Security and Medicare is...zero-based budgeting! Christ. People of a certain age are all banging their heads on the table right now.
moon squares say-anything
Everyone seems to have internalized the fact that you can say anything you want at a televised debate, and only a tiny fraction of the audience will ever see a fact-check. So why not claim the moon is square?
country years obamacare
We have 400,000 small businesses forming every year in this country. How great is that? They are employing themselves, they are potentially employing others. The bad news is, we have 470,000 going out of business every year. And why? They cite Obamacare.
believe passionate fighter
I'm a fighter. I am passionate about what I believe. I've been passionate my whole life about the [American] Constitution.
fighting thinking campaigns
I think that is why we're seeing conservatives uniting behind our campaign, because I have a proven record as a consistent conservative of standing up to Washington and fighting for the constitution.
believe long presidential
I believe over the long term he's going to have the money, and he's got the message, that this is going to be one of the finalists for the presidential campaign.
country jobs pay
You can't get to a balanced budget and begin to pay down debt and thus create jobs in this country if you don't have specific plans to make it work.
views people vote
In my view, republican primary debates ought to be moderated by people who would vote in a primary.
