I think the question is who am I? That's what we all should be asking ourselves. Who am I? Well, if I am first a Christian conservative then that dictates my response to all questions so my response first as a Christian conservative is to vote consistent with my value system.
I think when you look to the future what you'll find is that the Republican Party is building a bigger party base on stronger values.
I think you hear, at least as an undertone, and it's going to grow louder, is that we believe that capitalism is the mantra of the day and anything that creeps towards socialism is a problem.
Certainly I feel like I'm the tip of the arrow at times because certainly the national media wants to talk about the fact that I'm a black Republican and some people think of that as zany that a black person would be a conservative but to me what is zany is any person black, white, red, brown or yellow not being a conservative.

Our detectives have been following up on looking into the victim's background and who his associates are. Just trying to find out where he might have been, who might have seen him,
People ask me about if, being a Republican, you guys want to cut everything and stop everything and not help people. I find that patently false.
We do not have a revenue problem in D.C. or this county. We have a prioritization problem. When you create the priorities you fund the priorities of the country and you stop spending money when you get to zero.
I failed world geography, civics, Spanish and English. And when you fail Spanish and English, they do not consider you bilingual. They may call you bi-ignorant because you can't speak any language.
Missy has just been phenomenal for us. We expected a great year from her and she's been outstanding. She leads us in almost every offensive category.
