I Believe Abortion Should Be Safe And Legal In This Country. I Believe That Since Roe V Wade Has Been The Law For 20 Years That We Should Sustain And Support It. And I Sustain And Support That Law And The Right Of A Woman To Make That Choice. We Can Believe What We Want, But Will Will Not Force Our Beliefs On Others On That Matter. And You Will Not See Me Waivering On That.

You Know, Out-of-touch Liberals Like Barack Obama Say They Want A Strong Economy, But In Everything They Do, They Show They Don't Like Business Very Much. But The Economy, Of Course, Is Simply The Product Of All The Businesses Of The Nation Added Together. So It's A Bit Like Saying You Like An Omelet, But You Don't Like Eggs.

I'm Sorry, There Was An Effort On The Part Of The President To Have A Status Of Forces Agreement, And I Concurred In That, And Said That We Should Have Some Number Of Troops That Stayed On. That Was Something I Concurred With.

My View Is That We Have The Second Amendment Rights To Bear Arms, And In This Country My View Is That We Should Not Add New Legistlation. I Do Not Believe In New Laws Restricting Gun Ownership And Gun Use.

I Look Around The World, I Don't See America's Influence Growing Around The World. I See Our Influence Receding, In Part Because Of The Failure Of Barack Obama To Deal With Our Economic Challenges At Home; In Part Because Of Our Withdrawal From Our Commitment To Our Military In The Way I Think It Ought To Be; In Part Because Of The Turmoil With Israel.

Iraq Is Fragile And May Fall Back Into A Devastating Setting. We're Not Making The Kind Of Progress In Afghanistan That Had Been Promised. And Our Esteem Around The World Has Fallen. I Can't Think Of A Major Country. It's Hard To Think Of A Single Country That Has Greater Respect And Admiration For America Today Than It Did Five Years Ago When Barack Obama Became President.

Let Me Put It Very Plainly, If We Republicans Choose Donald Trump As Our Nominee, The Prospects For A Safe And Prosperous Future Are Greatly Diminished.

Prosperous Future

In The Political Environment That Exists Today, The Opposition Research Of The Obama Campaign Is Looking For Anything They Can Use To Distract From The Failure Of The President To Reignite Our Economy. And Im Simply Not Enthusiastic About Giving Them Hundreds Or Thousands Of More Pages To Pick Through, Distort, And Lie About.

We Must Persuade Iran Not T Have Nuclear Weapons Through Peaceful And Diplomatic Means. We Want A Peaceful Planet.

There Are 160,000 Of Our Men And Women In Iraq That Wonder Whether There Is Going To Be A Hand Grenade Or A Missile Lobbed Into Where They Are Sleeping At Night. Those Are People Who Make A Real Sacrifice.

America Needs A President Who Can Fix The Economy Because He Understands The Economy, And I Do And I Will.

You Look At That Democratic Debate. I Had To Laugh At What I Saw Barack Obama Do. I Mean, In One Week, He Went From Saying He Is Going To Sit Down For Tea With Our Enemies, But Then He's Going To Bomb Our Allies. I Mean, He's Gone From Jane Fonda To Dr. Strangelove In One Week.

Freedom Requires Religion Just As Religion Requires Freedom.

What I Can Tell You Is I'm Not Running For President. I'm Not Going To Run For President. I'm Going To Support One Of These Four People To Be Our Nominee. I'm Supporting Three Of Them Right Now. And That Means That We're Going To Get One Of Those People As Our Nominee.

Let Me Tell You, The Heart Of My Tax Proposal: I Will Not Raise Taxes On The American People. I Will Not Raise Taxes On Middle-income Americans.

We Can Be Deeply Thankful That We Live In A Land Where Reason And Religion Are Friends And Allies In The Cause Of Liberty, Joined Against The Evils And Dangers Of The Day. And You Can Be Certain Of This: Any Believer In Religious Freedom, Any Person Who Has Knelt In Prayer To The Almighty, Has A Friend And Ally In Me. And So It Is For Hundreds Of Millions Of Our Countrymen: We Do Not Insist On A Single Strain Of Religion - Rather, We Welcome Our Nation's Symphony Of Faith.

Freedom Requires Religion In Society, Not In Individuals.

Religion In Society

I See An America Where Poverty Is Defeated By Opportunity, Not Enabled By A Government Check.

I Will Fight For Oil, Coal And Natural Gas.

The American People I Talk To Don't Spend Every Moment Thinking, 'how Can I Tax My Neighbor More Than They're Being Taxed?' They Say, 'how Can I Get A Good Job? How Can My Kids Get Good Jobs? How Can Seniors Have A Confidence In Their Future When They Know That Social Security, Medicare And Medicaid Are Bankrupt?'

Detroit Needs A Turnaround, Not A Check.

A Competitive Primary Does Not Divide Us, It Prepares Us And We Will Win.

What Outsourcing Causes - What It's Caused By, Rather. I Understand, For Instance, How To Read A Balance Sheet. I Happen To Believe That Having Been In The Private Sector For Twenty-five Years Gives Me A Perspective On How Jobs Are Created - That Someone Who's Never Spent A Day In The Private Sector, Like President Obama, Simply Doesn't Understand.

Donald Trump Creates Scapegoats In Muslims And Mexican Immigrants. He Calls For The Use Of Torture. He Calls For Killing The Innocent Children And Family Members Of Terrorists. He Cheers Assaults On Protesters. He Applauds The Prospect Of Twisting The Constitution To Limit First Amendment Freedom Of The Press. This Is The Very Brand Of Anger That Has Led Other Nations Into The Abyss.

No Person I Have Ever Met, Not Even The Most Righteous Or Pure Of Heart, Has Gone Without Those Times When Faith Recedes In The Busy-ness Of Life.

I Think Mitt Romney Has Demonstrated Repeatedly He Has A Penchant For - For Secrecy, Doesn't Seem To Have Any Interest In Actually Showing The American People His - His Finances, Decision - Important Decisions About His Investments, Refuses To Come Clean On His Time At Bain Capital And When He Was Really There, And, You Know, Be Held Accountable For The Outsourcing Of Jobs And The Off-shoring Of Jobs And Shipping Jobs Overseas.

I Think The Great Majority Of Republicans, Mainstream Republicans From Across The Country, Don't Want To See Donald Trump As President Of The United States Either. They're Concerned They'd See A Recession And I Think They Are Also Concerned We'd See A More Dangerous World.

Dangerous World

The Greatest Threat That The World Faces, The Greatest National Security Threat Is A Nuclear Iran.

People From Both Political Parties Have Long Recognized That Welfare Without Work Creates Negative Incentives That Lead To Permanent Poverty. It Robs People Of Self-esteem.

If We Become One Of Those Societies That Attack Success, Why Not Come As Certain There Will Be A Lot Less Success? And That's Not Who We Are.

It's Fashionable In Some Circles To Be Pessimistic About America, About Conservative Solutions, About The Republican Party. I Utterly Reject That Pessimism.

I Very Firmly Believe That We Have To Make Sure That We Enforce Our Borders, That We Have An Employment Verification System, And That Those People Who Have Come Here Illegally Do Not Get An Advantage To Become Permanent Residents, They Do Not Get A Special Pathway.

I've Seen A Lot Of Government Try To Solve Problems, And It Didn't Work. And My View Is That The Right Course For America Is To Have Someone Who Understands How The Economy Works Who Will Passionately Get America Back On Track.

Make No Mistake, In This Campaign, I Will Offer The American Ideals Of Economic Freedom A Clear And Unapologetic Defense.

No One's Ever Asked To See My Birth Certificate, They Know That This Is The Place That We Were Born And Raised.

As We Watch The World Today, Sometimes It Seems That We`re At The Mercy Of Events Instead Of Shaping Events. And A Strong America`s Essential To Shape Events, And A Strong America, By The Way, Depends On A Strong Military.

A Person Should Not Be Elected Because Of His Faith Nor Should He Be Rejected Because Of His Faith.

An Apology For America's Values Is Never The Right Course.

My View Is That Marriage Is A Relationship Between A Man And A Woman. That's The Position I've Had For Some Time, And I Don't Intend To Make Any Adjustments At This Point... Or Ever, By The Way.

I'm Not Trying To Return To Reagan-bush.

There Were A Couple Of Times I Wondered Whether I Was Going To Get A Pink Slip.

I Was A Severely Conservative Republican Governor.

Freedom. Freedom Of Religion. Freedom To Speak Their Mind. Freedom To Build A Life. And Yes, Freedom To Build A Business. With Their Own Hands. This Is The Essence Of The American Experience.

It Was Not My Desire To Go Off And Serve In Vietnam.

Iran's Nuclearization Is The Greatest Single National Security Threat America Faces.

I Understand How Difficult It Can Be For An African-american In Today’s Society. In Fact, I Can Relate To Black People Very Well Indeed. My Ancestors Once Owned Slaves, And It Is In My Lineage To Work Closely With The Black Community. However, Just Because They Were Freed Over A Century Ago Doesn’t Mean They Can Now Be Freeloaders. They Need To Be Told To Work Hard, And The Incentives Just Aren’t There For Them Anymore. When I’m President I Plan To Work Closely With The Black Community To Bring A Sense Of Pride And Work Ethic Back Into View For Them.

Our Party [republicans] Has Been Focused On Big Business Too Long. I Came Through Small Business. I Understand How Hard It Is To Start A Small Business. That's Why Everything I'll Do Is Designed To Help Small Businesses Grow And Add Jobs. I Want To Keep Their Taxes Down On Small Business. I Want Regulators To See Their Job As Encouraging Small Enterprise, Not Crushing It.

I'll Take A Lot Of Credit For The Fact That This Industry's Come Back.

My Mom And Dad Gave Their Kids The Greatest Gift Of All - The Gift Of Unconditional Love. They Cared Deeply About Who We Would Be, And Much Less About What We Would Do.

I Saw My Father March With Martin Luther King.

America Is The Hope Of The Earth.

At The End Of The Day After A Few Speeches And A Lot Of Campaign Stops, I'm More Energized Than Drained.

The End Of The Day

And This President Wakes Up Every Morning, Looks Out Across America And Is Proud To Announce, 'it Could Be Worse.' It Could Be Worse? Is That What It Means To Be An American? It Could Be Worse? Of Course Not. What Defines Us As Americans Is Our Unwavering Conviction That We Know It Must Be Better.

This Is A Time Of Great Challenges For America, And I Pray That The President Will Be Successful In Guiding Our Nation.

I Think People Recognize That I'm Not A Partisan Republican That I'm Someone Who Is Moderate, And That My Views Are Progressive.

Like The Vast Majority Of Americans, I've Opposed Same-sex Marriage, But I've Also Opposed Unjust Discrimination Against Anyone, For Racial Or Religious Reasons, Or For Sexual Preference. Americans Are A Tolerant, Generous, And Kind People. We All Oppose Bigotry And Disparagement. But The Debate Over Same-sex Marriage Is Not A Debate Over Tolerance. It Is A Debate About The Purpose Of The Institution Of Marriage And It Is A Debate About Activist Judges Who Make Up The Law Rather Than Interpret The Law.

Like Other Presidents Before Him, Barack Obama Inherited A Recession. But Unlike Them, He Has Made It Worse, Not Better.

What We Have Said And - And - And With Which I Concur Is That We Should Use Every Diplomatic And Political Vehicle That's Available To Us To Keep Iran From Becoming A Nuclear Capability State.

I Actually Like Jokes As Well As Things That Are Sort Of Fun.

I Understand The Anger Americans Feel Today. In The Past, Our Presidents Have Channeled That Anger And Forged It Into Resolve, Into Endurance And High Purpose, And Into The Will To Defeat The Enemies Of Freedom. Our Anger Was Transformed Into Energy Directed For Good. Donald Trump Is Directing Our Anger For Less Than Noble Purposes.

That Said, Your Values Will Not Always Be The Object Of Public Admiration. In Fact, The More You Live By Your Beliefs, The More You Will Endure The Censure Of The World.

I Don't Support Any Gun-control Legislation - The Effort For A New Assault-weapons Ban, With A Ban On Semiautomatic Weapons, Is Something I Would Oppose.

The Promise Of America Has Always Been That If You Worked Hard, Had The Right Values, Took Some Risks, That There Was An Opportunity To Build A Better Life For Your Family And For Your Next Generation.

If I Am Elected President Of These United States, I Will Work With All My Energy And Soul To Restore That America, To Lift Our Eyes To A Better Future. That Future Is Our Destiny. That Future Is Out There. It Is Waiting For Us. Our Children Deserve It, Our Nation Depends Upon It, The Peace And Freedom Of The World Require It.

I Always Enjoy Listening To Rush Limbaugh. I Often Agree With Him. Sometimes I Disagree With Him.

President Obama Trusts In The Wisdom Of Government. I Put My Trust In The Ingenuity And Creativity And Commitment To Hard Work Of The American People.

Republicans Spent Too Much Money, Borrowed Too Much Money, Earmarked Too Much. In This Race, I'm The Only Guy Who Hasn't Spent Time In Washington.

Since Castro Took Power, The Cuban People Have Been Denied Basic Human Freedoms. No Freedom Of Religion, No Freedom Of The Press, No Political Freedom. And The Regime Uses Brutality And Violence To Suppress These Freedoms And Impose Its Will.

When The President Of Iran Ahmadinejad Says That Our Debt Makes America Not A Great Country, That's A Frightening Thing.

I Like The Fact That Most Of The Cars I See Are Detroit-made Automobiles. I Drive A Mustang And A Chevy Pickup Truck. Ann Drives A Couple Of Cadillacs, Actually.

It's So Critical That We Make America Once Again The Most Attractive Place In The World To Start Businesses, To Build Jobs, To Grow The Economy. And That's Not Going To Happen By Just Hiring Teachers.

I Believe We Should Use Any And All Means Necessary To Take Out People Who Pose A Threat To Us And Our Friends Around The World.

The Last Thing We Need Is Hillarycare. The Last Thing We Need Is Socialized Medicine.

Instead Of Just Giving Lip Service To Improving Our Schools, I Will Actually Put The Kids First And The Teachers Union Behind In Giving Our Kids Better Teachers, Better Options And Better Choices For A Better Future.

If You Want A President Who Will Make Things Better In The African-american Community, You Are Looking At Him.

I Never Really Called Myself Pro-choice.

The American People Should Be Free To Advocate For Their Candidates And Their Positions Without Burdensome Limitations.

The Strength And Power And Goodness Of America Has Always Been Based On The Strength And Power And Goodness Of Our Communities, Our Families, Our Faiths. That Is The Bedrock Of What Makes America, America. In Our Best Days, We Can Feel The Vibrancy Of America's Communities, Large And Small.

You Balance The Budget By Restraining The Growth Of Government And Encouraging The Growth Of The Private Sector.

You Can't Control Ted Cruz For Instance. No One Has Suggested You Could Do That And Marco Rubio, Everyone Tried To Stop Marco Rubio From Going Against A Sitting Republican Governor In Florida. He Did It Anyway And Won.

This Is Something The Democrats Have Talked About, And A Goal We Share, Getting Everyone Insured, And Solving The Issue In A Republican Way, Which Is Applying A Personal Responsibility Principle (individual Mandate), Reforming The Market (more Strictly Regulating The Insurance Companies), And Allowing People To Buy Private Health Care Insurance That They Can Take With Them From Job To Job That's Entirely Affordable. So It's A Republican Way Of Solving A Problem That We Face As A Nation.

It Is Time To Acknowledge The Extraordinary Sacrifice Of All Of Our Veterans. While Many Massachusetts Soldiers Served Our Nation In A Period Technically Dubbed 'peacetime,' They Restored American Pride In The Wake Of Vietnam And Helped Bring A Successful End To The Cold War. The Service Of These Men And Women Was Not Without Cost. There Are Countless Stories Of Soldiers Who Served With Great Distinction Only To Be Denied Veteran Status After Returning Home. Every Man And Woman Who Volunteered To Serve This Country Should Be Treated With The Same Degree Of Respect, Gratitude And Dignity.

We Have A Long-standing Tradition In This Country To Follow The Advice Of Senator Vandenberg, Which Is That Politics Ends At The Water's Edge.

I Like Music Of Almost Any Kind - Including This.

I Was An Avidly Pro-life Governor; I'm An Avidly Pro-life Individual. As A Pro-life Republican, I Am In Favor Of Having The Supreme Court Overturn Roe V. Wade.

Well That's A Bit Of A Question Like Saying, What Have You Learned In Life That Would Help You Lead? My Whole Life Has Been Learning To Lead, From My Parents, To My Education, To The Experience I Had In The Private Sector, To Helping Run The Olympics, And Then Of Course Helping Guide A State. Those Experiences In Totality Have Given Me An Understanding Of How America Works And How The Economy Works.

Donald Trump Talks About How He's Not Going To Be Controlled By The Moneyed Interests. Do People Understand That He's Not Giving Money To His Campaign, He's Loaning It Because He Expects To Get Money Back From Those Same Big Donors He Decries Right Now? He's Planning On Running A General Election Based Upon Raising Money From Those Very People.

What Does It Say About A President's Policies When He Has To Use A Cartoon Character Rather Than Real People To Justify His Record?

We Still Believe In The America That Is A Land Of Opportunity And A Beacon Of Freedom. We Believe In The America That Challenges Each Of Us To Be Better And Bigger Than Ourselves.

The Kids Of Those That Came Here Illegally, Those Kids, I Think, Should Have A Pathway To Become A Permanent Resident Of The United States And Military Service, For Instance, Is One Way They Would Have That Kind Of Pathway To Become A Permanent Resident.

If I Have A Bad Hair Day, I Just Think, Well, It Will Be An Ok Hair Day Tomorrow. Just Put Your Head Down And Go.

President Obama

President Obama's View Of A Free Economy Is To Send Your Money To His Friends. My Vision For A Free Enterprise Economy Is To Return Entrepreneurship And Genius And Creativity To The American People!

All The Laws And Legislation In The World Will Never Heal This World Like The Loving Hearts And Arms Of Mothers And Fathers. If Every Child Could Drift To Sleep Feeling Wrapped In The Love Of Their Family - And God's Love - This World Would Be A Far More Gentle And Better Place.

The American Servicemen And Women Of The Guard And Reserve Leave Their Jobs, Their Spouses And Their Children To Wear The Uniform That Defends Our Country. This Selfless Commitment Should Be Honored By Businesses Across Massachusetts As We Work To Ensure They Are Treated Fairly While They Balance Their Employment Responsibilities And Obligations To The Armed Services. No Business Should Ever Put The Bottom Line Ahead Of America's Front Line.

Flexibility. Oh, That's Pretty Clearly Saying That What Donald Trump Said To The New York Times Is Very Different Than What He's Saying To The American People. He Is Not The Real Deal. He Is A Phony.
