In My Address Last Year, I Spoke On The Issue Of Gaming. My Preference Then Is My Preference Now: To Keep Gaming Within Its Existing Contours, But To Explore A Better Deal For All Minnesotans.

You Can Stick A Fork In Barack Obama. Politically, He's Done. The Main Way We Can Screw This Up Is If We Choose The Wrong Republican.

We Need To Be Calling Out The Flaws And Misguided Decisions Of The Democrats In Congress And The Obama Administration.

A Great Deal Has Been Said About My Commitment Not To Raise Taxes. It's A Core Value - It's Common Sense - It's Important To Keeping And Growing Jobs - And It's Mainstream!

The Republicans Had Their Shot Not Long Ago To Address The Real Needs And Concerns Of Everyday Americans, And They Blew It. I Think That's Mitigated By The Fact That We Had A Terrorist Incident, There Is A War, And There Was A Lot Of Proper Focus On Those Issues, But Over The Time That They Were There And Had The Leadership Opportunity, They Blew It. We Got Fired For A Reason.

I've Come To Realize That Barack Obama Is The Tattoo President. Like A Big Tattoo, It Seemed Cool When You Were Young. But Later On, That Decision Doesn't Look So Good, And You Wonder: What Was I Thinking? But The Worst Part Is You're Still Going To Have To Explain It To Your Kids.

We Have A Country That Is $5 A Gallon Gas, $4 A Gallon Gas, We Got Unbearable Unemployment And A Federal Government That Is Out Of Control. We Have To Take Back This Country And We've Got To Get Off The Sidelines And Take It To President Obama.

History Has Taught Us Over And Over Again That Freedom Is Not Free. When Push Comes To Shove, The Ultimate Protectors Of Freedom And Liberty Are The Brave Men And Women In Our Armed Forces. Throughout Our History, They've Answered The Call In Bravery And Sacrifice.

It Appears That President Obama Is Making Great Progress On Climate Change, He Is Changing The Political Climate In The Country Back To Republican.

I Do Support Enhanced Interrogation Techniques. Obviously Their Value Is Shining Through With Respect To The Bin Laden Killing.

Interrogation Techniques

We Understand That Athletes Aren't Necessarily Role Models, But We At Least Expect Them To Abide By The Basic Laws Of The State.

The Country's In Significant Danger, And I Think We Need People Who Are Thoughtful. We're Gonna Have Sharp Differences, But We Need To Debate Those In A Way That's Constructive And Civil. I Think President Obama Is Governing As A Movement Liberal. I Don't Think That Rises To The Level Of Being A Socialist.

The Reason That The Unions And The Other Stakeholders Have Not Cut A Deal With The Automakers Is Because They Believe The Federal Government Is Going To Bail Them Out.

Barack Obama Has Made Things Exponentially Worse, But Let's Face It, When Republicans Had Total Control Over It, They Didn't Do What They Said They Were Gonna Do. I Think Also People Got Fatigued With The War. And The Party Got Into A Whole Bunch Of Corruption And Personal Scandals That Weren't Compatible With The Principles It Claimed To Stand For.

President Obama Said That He Designed Obamacare After Romneycare And Basically Made It Obamneycare.

Having The Democrats Watch Your Money Is Like Having Michael Vick Watch Your Dog For The Weekend

Barack Obama's Failed Us. But Look, It's Understandable. A Lot Of People Fail At Their First Job.

One Of The Things About Leadership Is That You've Got To Show Up. And If You Want To Be President Of The United States You've Got To Make A Case To The American People That Barack Obama Needs To Be Dismissed From His Position.

The Only Thing Growing Faster Than The Federal Government's Deficit Is Chris Matthews' Man-crush On Barack Obama.

I Give The President Credit For At Least One Thing. He's Proven That Someone Can Deserve A Nobel Prize Less Than Al Gore.

I Think If You Look At Medicare And Medicaid, The Premise Was That Government Needs To Provide Some Assistance To People Who Aren't Able To Take Care Of Themselves. I Think We All Share That Goal, Republicans And Democrats. I Don't Think Anybody's Gonna Go Back Now And Say, Let's Abolish, Or Reduce, Medicare And Medicaid. But As We Confront The Challenges And The Responsibilities Of Our Time - From Here On - How Do We Serve More People Or Different People Who Are In Need Of Financial Assistance? Just Forever Having The Government Expand To Address All Of That Seems Unwise.

The Marketplace Measurement In Politics Is Something Called An Election. It's A Pretty Good Barometer - It's Transparent, It's Numerical, It's Objective. It Gives You A Pretty Good Measure Of What Your Customers Think Of You. And In 2006 And 2008, The Marketplace Was Telling The Republicans, We Prefer The Products And Services Of Your Competitors. And So When You're Losing Market Share, You Step Back And Say, What Can We Do Differently?

We Have The Highest Graduation Rates, The Broadest Health Care Access, And The Greatest Level Of Home Ownership And Workforce Participation In The Country. And We Did It All With A Small Population In A Cold State That Coastal Big Shots Refer To As Fly-over Land.
