If General Motors, Ford And Chrysler Get The Bailout That Their Chief Executives Asked For Yesterday, You Can Kiss The American Automotive Industry Goodbye. It Won't Go Overnight, But Its Demise Will Be Virtually Guaranteed. Without That Bailout, Detroit Will Need To Drastically Restructure Itself. With It, The Automakers Will Stay The Course - The Suicidal Course Of Declining Market Shares, Insurmountable Labor And Retiree Burdens, Technology Atrophy, Product Inferiority And Never-ending Job Losses. Detroit Needs A Turnaround, Not A Check.

We Have Serious Enemies And Growing Threats Around The World. Unfortunately, We Have An Administration Whose Idea Of A Rogue State Is Arizona.

It Is Essential For America To Understand What Our Mission Is In Iran, And That Is To Dissuade Iran From Having A Nuclear Weapon Through Peaceful And Diplomatic Means.

This Is All About Creating Good Jobs For Middle-income Americans, And It's A Place Where The President, Frankly, Has Failed. His Effort To Put In Place A Series Of Liberal Proposals He Thought Were Historic Kept His Eye Off The Ball Of Getting The Economy Going Again. It Is The Economy, And The American People Aren't Stupid. They Want Someone Who Can Get This Economy Going Again.

Not As Closely As Some Of The Most Ardent Fans, But I Have Some Friends Who Are Nascar Team Owners.

You Know, My Dad Served In The President's Cabinet After His Time As A Governor. He Told Me He Enjoyed Being Governor A Lot More. Now, I Understand Why. If I Do My Job Well, I Can Make A Difference In People's Lives And I Can Help Our Children Realize Their Dreams.

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.

Happiness, For Me, Is A Function Of The Number Of People I Love, And I Think Joy And Happiness Is Directly Related To How Many People Are In Our Lives And How Deeply We Are Bonded With Those People. And So I'm Happy If I'm With Ann; I'm Happier If I'm Also With My Family And My Grandchildren.

President Obama Attacks Success And Therefore Under President Obama We Have Less Success And I Will Change That.

President Obama

Don't Try To Stop The Foreclosure Process. Let It Run Its Course And Hit The Bottom.

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.

Donald Trump Is Not The Real Deal. I Think As Ted Cruz And Marco Rubio Made That Very Clear.

I Will Not Cut Our Military Budget By A Trillion Dollars, Which Is A Combination Of The Budget Cuts Barack Obama Has, As Well As The Sequestration Cuts. That, In My View, Is Making Our Future Less Certain And Less Secure.

America Is The Hope Of The Earth.

When You Have A Fire In An Aircraft, There's No Place To Go, Exactly, There's No - And You Can't Find Any Oxygen From Outside The Aircraft To Get In The Aircraft, Because The Windows Don't Open. I Don't Know Why They Don't Do That. It's A Real Problem.

It's Not Appropriate To Joke About The Ku Klux Klan.

We Don't Know What's Causing Climate Change On This Planet. And The Idea Of Spending Trillions And Trillions Of Dollars To Try To Reduce Co2 Emissions Is Not The Right Course For Us.

Central To America's Rise To Global Leadership Is Our Judeo-christian Tradition With The Vision Of The Goodness And Possibilities Of Every Human Life.

I'm Learning To Say 'y'all' And, I Like Grits... Strange Things Are Happening To Me.

I Like Being Able To Fire People.

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.

There Are Some Who Would Have A Presidential Candidate Describe And Explain His Church's Distinctive Doctrines. To Do So Would Enable The Very Religious Test The Founders Prohibited In The Constitution. No Candidate Should Become The Spokesman For His Faith. For If He Becomes President He Will Need The Prayers Of The People Of All Faiths.

Americans Acknowledge That Liberty Is A Gift Of God, Not An Indulgence Of Government.

The Cuban People Still Live In Constant Fear Of A Brutal Totalitarian Regime That Has Demonstrated Time And Again Its Utter Disregard For Basic Human Dignity. The Fight For A Free Cuba Has Gone On For Far Too Long.

I'm Not Going To Wear Rose-colored Glasses When It Comes To Russia, Or Mr. Putin.

Christianity Is Not The Faith Of The Complacent, The Comfortable Or Of The Timid. It Demands And Creates Heroic Souls Like Wesley, Wilberforce, Bonhoeffer, John Paul The Second, And Billy Graham. Each Showed, In Their Own Way, The Relentless And Powerful Influence Of The Message Of Jesus Christ.

Republicans Prefer Straight Talk To Politically Correct Talk!

Politically Correct

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?'

I Believe The World Benefits From American Leadership. I Believe This Next Century Should Be An American Century.

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

I Will Get America Working Again And See Rising Take-home Pay Again.

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

But In The Business I Had, We Invested In Over 100 Different Businesses And Net-net, Taking Out The Ones Where We Lost Jobs And Those That We Added, Those Businesses Have Now Added Over 100,000 Jobs.

I Met A Guy Yesterday, 7 Feet Tall. Yeah, Handsome, Great Big Guy, 7 Feet Tall! ... I Figured He Had To Be In Sport, But He Wasn't In Sport.

In America, We Celebrate Success. We Don't Apologize For Success.

I Want To Invest In Research. Research Is Great. Providing Funding To Universities And Think Tanks Is Great. But Investing In Companies? Absolutely Not.

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.

I Frankly Can't Wait, Because The Idea Of Bill Clinton Back In The White House With Nothing To Do Is Something I Just Can't Imagine, I Can't Imagine The American People Can Imagine.

People Hear From Donald Trump That He's Such An Extraordinary Success. They Didn't Know About Trump Airlines And Trump Mortgages And Trump Vitamin Network And Trump Steaks And Trump Taj Mahal. They Didn't Realize A Lot Of Small People Have Been Crushed By Donald Trump's Rise To Become A Very Wealthy Man, Successful Financially, But This Is A Guy Who Has Not Been A Uniform Success.

Establishment Suggests There Must Be Some Wizard Of Oz Somewhere Pulling The Strings. That's Not The Way It Works. There Are Individuals Like Myself. I Sat There And Watched Donald Trump, And I Said, Look, Someone Has Got To Say Something.

I've Said Time And Again, I'm A Pro-life Candidate, I'll Be A Pro-life President.

I Think There Is Need For Economic Stimulus... And Government Can Help Make That Up In A Very Difficult Time.

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

Mr. President, You’re Entitled As A President To Your Own Airplane, And To Your Own House, But Not To Your Own Facts.

That Business We Started With 10 People Has Now Grown Into A Great American Success Story. Some Of The Companies We Helped Start Are Names You Know. An Office Supply Company Called Staples – Where I’m Pleased To See The Obama Campaign Has Been Shopping; The Sports Authority, Which Became A Favorite Of My Sons. We Started An Early Childhood Learning Center Called Bright Horizons That First Lady Michelle Obama Rightly Praised. At A Time When Nobody Thought We’d Ever See A New Steel Mill Built In America, We Took A Chance And Built One In A Corn Field In Indiana.

Live For A Purpose Greater Than Yourself.

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

America Has Not Dictated To Other Nations. We Have Freed Other Nations From Dictators.

I Don't Believe That Bureaucrats In Washington Should Tell Someone Whether They Can Use Contraceptives Or Not. And I Don't Believe Employers Should Tell Someone Whether They Could Have Contraceptive Care Of Not. Every Woman In America Should Have Access To Contraceptives.

President Obama Has Thrown Allies Like Israel Under The Bus, Even As He Has Relaxed Sanctions On Castro's Cuba. He Abandoned Our Friends In Poland By Walking Away From Our Missile Defense Commitments, But Is Eager To Give Russia's President Putin The Flexibility He Desires, After The Election. Under My Administration, Our Friends Will See More Loyalty, And Mr. Putin Will See A Little Less Flexibility And More Backbone.

Corporations Are People, My Friend.

Religious Liberty Is The First Freedom In Our Constitution. And Whether The Cause Is Justice For The Persecuted, Compassion For The Needy And The Sick, Or Mercy For The Child Waiting To Be Born, There Is No Greater Force For Good In The Nation Than Christian Conscience In Action.

Hugo Chavez Has Tried To Steal An Inspiring Phrase - 'patria O Muerte, Venceremos.' It Does Not Belong To Him. It Belongs To A Free Cuba.

That's A Big Lava Lamp. Congratulations.

Congratulations

When You Raise Taxes On Small Business, From 35% To 40%, You Will Kill Jobs.

I Don't Mind That People Have Questions And Would Look For Someone To Respond To Their Questions, Particularly If Their Faith Is Not Terribly Well-known.

I Think The Best Answer Is As Little As Possible.

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.

Men And Women Of Every Faithб And Good People With None At Allб Sincerely Strive To Do Right And Lead A Purpose-driven Life.

I Happen To Believe That If We Want To Replace A Lifetime Politician Like Barack Obama, Who Had No Experience Leading Anything... We've Got To Nominate A Leader If We're Going To Replace Someone Who Is Not A Leader.

My Leadership Will End The Obama Era And Begin A New Era Of American Prosperity.

We Have An Opportunity To Have Real Leadership. America's Going To Have That Kind Of Leadership And Continue To Promote Principles Of Peace To Make A World A Safer Place And Make People In This Country More Confident That Their Future Is Secure.

My Policy On Energy Is... To Make America The Largest Energy Producer In The World. I Think We Can Get There, In 10 Or 15 Years. That Will Bring Back Manufacturing Of Certain High-energy Intensive Industries. It'll Bring Back Jobs. It'll Create A Surprising Economic Revitalization Of This Country.

Seeing Syria Remove Assad Is A Very High Priority For America.

When It Comes To Pinning Blame, Pin The Tail On The Donkeys.

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

I'm Optimistic About The Future. I'm Excited About Our Prospects As A Nation. I Want To See Peace. I Want To See Growing Peace In America. It's Our Objective.

What We Have, What We Wish We Had - Ambitions Fulfilled, Ambitions Disappointed, Investments Won, Investments Lost, Elections Won, Elections Lost - These Things May Occupy Our Attention, But They Do Not Define Us.

This Is Something Which I Think This Country Needs... I Want Universal Coverage! I Want Everyone In Massachusetts And In This Country To Have Insurance. I Support Universal Health Care.

I'm Thinking About The People Who I Want To See Running For President. And There's Quite A Group. I Mean We Have A Very Strong Field Of Leaders Who Could Become Our Nominee And - And Could Stand Up For The Kind Of Leadership I Think America Wants.

Our Veterans Know The Meaning Of Service Better Than Anyone Else And They Aren't About To Quit Working When They Come Home. The Best Reward We Can Provide Our Vets For Their Service Isn't A Medal Or A Check; It's A Livelihood And A Means Of Supporting Themselves And Their Families.

I Want To Make Sure That We Make America More Competitive. And That We Do Those Things That Make America The Most Attractive Place In The World For Entrepreneurs, Innovators, Businesses To Grow.

I'm Not Running, I'm Not Planning On Running, And I've Got Nothing New On That Story.

If I'm President Of The United States, When I'm President Of The United States, We Will Stand With Israel.

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. And It’s Widely Reported That Drones Are Being Used In Drone Strikes, And I Support That And Entirely, And Feel The President Was Right To Up The Usage Of That Technology, And Believe That We Should Continue To Use It, To Continue To Go After The People That Represent A Threat To This Nation And To Our Friends.

America's Going To Come Back, And For That To Happen, We're Going To Have To Have A President Who Can Work Across The Aisle.

Neil Armstrong Today Takes His Place In The Hall Of Heroes. The Moon Will Miss Its First Son Of Earth.

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.

I Do Not Favor Same-sex Marriage. I Oppose Same-sex Marriage, And That Has Been My View. But, But If People Are Looking For Someone Who Will Discriminate Against Gays Or Will In Any Way Try And Suggest That People That Have Different Sexual Orientation Don't Have Full Rights In This Country, They Won't Find That In Me.

I Like Silly Stuff, Too. I Like The 'twilight' Series. That Was Fun.

Freedom Requires Religion Just As Religion Requires Freedom.

We Have To Stand For Our Principles, Stand For Our Allies, Stand For A Strong Military And Stand For A Stronger Economy.

If I Am Elected President, The Castro Regime Will Have No Reason To Doubt Our Unwavering Commitment To Your Cause. The Regime Will Feel The Full Weight Of American Resolve.

That Business We Started With 10 People Has Now Grown Into A Great American Success Story.

I Don't Want To Be Like Europe. I Want To Be Like America.

Perhaps Religious Conscience Upsets The Designs Of Those Who Feel That The Highest Wisdom And Authority Comes From Government.

People Who Are Government Servants, Public Servants, Should Not Be Paid More Than The Taxpayers Who Are Paying For It.

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.

I Longed In Many Respects To Actually Be In Vietnam And Be Representing Our Country There.

The Future Of The United States And The Most Important Election In A Generation, And He [donald Trump] Is Trying To Con People Into Giving Them Their Vote, Just Like He Conned These People Into Giving Them Their Money.

Even Though I Love Solar And Love Wind, Like Most People Do, I Like The Renewable Sources, They Alone Are Not Going To Get America Energy Independent.

I Would Like To Have Campaign Spending Limits...

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 Will Spend The Next Four Years Rebuilding The Foundation Of A Opportunity Society Led By Free People And Free Enterprises.

I Want Our Legal System To Work Better. I Want It To Be Streamlined, I Want It To Be Clearer. I Don’t Think You Have To — Shouldn’t Have To Hire A Lawyer To Figure Out How To Get Into This Country Legally.

Donald Trump Trying To Do To The American Voter What He Did To The People That Signed Up For This Course: He's Making Promises He Has No Intention Of Keeping.

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

It Kills Me Not To Be There, Not To Be In The White House Doing What Needs To Be Done.

Rick, I’ll Tell You What - Ten Thousand Bucks? Ten Thousand Dollar Bet?

My View Is That We Don't Know What's Causing Climate Change On This Planet. And The Idea Of Spending Trillions And Trillions Of Dollars To Try To Reduce Co2 Emissions Is Not The Right Course For Us.

Julia Progresses From Cradle To Grave, Showing How Government Makes Every Good Thing In Her Life Possible. The Weak Economy, High Unemployment, Falling Wages, Rising Gas Prices, The National Debt, The Insolvency Of Entitlements - All These Are Fictionally Assumed Away In A Cartoon That Is Produced By A President Who Wants Us To Forget About Them.

Dodd-frank Was Passed. ... This Is The Biggest Kiss That's Been Given To New York Banks I've Ever Seen. This Is An Enormous Boon For Them. There've Been 122 Community And Small Banks Have Closed Since Dodd- Frank. ... I Would Repeal And Replace It.

I Spent My Whole Life In The Private Sector, 25 Years In The Private Sector. I Understand That When Government Takes More Money Out Of The Hands Of People, It Makes It More Difficult For Them To Buy Things. If They Can't Buy Things, The Economy Doesn't Grow. If The Economy Doesn't Grow, We Don't Put Americans To Work.

Obama Says We Need More Firemen, More Policemen, More Teachers. Did He Not Get The Message Of Wisconsin? The American People Did. It's Time For Us To Cut Back On Government And Help The American People.

We Can Believe As We Want, But We Should Not Force Our Beliefs On Others.

Choosing Education Is A Very Good Decision, Not Only Good For The Student, But Also For Our Country. The United States Was The First Nation In History To Recognize That Public Education For Every Citizen, Regardless Of Class Or Station, Was Vital To Its Future . . .

Having Strength, Having A Strong Military, Is The Ally Of Peace. Exercising That Strength Through Military Action Is Not Always Necessary If You Have The Confidence And Clarity Of Vision And Purpose Which America Demands.

I Have To Tell You With Regards To Global Warming That That's Something, Which, You're Right, The Scientists Haven't Entirely Resolved, But No Question About One Thing, It's Getting Warmer, And A Lot Of Good Reasons For Us To Use Less Energy, To Use It More Efficiently And To Develop Sources Here In This Country That Could Allow Us To Be More Independent Of Foreign Sources.

I Don't Like Vampires Personally. I Don't Know Any.

I Think The Global Warming Debate Is Now Pretty Much Over And People Recognize The Need Associated With Providing Sources Which Do Not Generate The Heat That Is Currently Provided By Fossil Fuels. I Concur That Climate Change Is Beginning To [have An] Effect On Our Natural Resources And That Now Is The Time To Take Action.

The Teachers Unions Are The Clearest Example Of A Group That Has Lost Its Way. Whenever Anyone Dares To Offer A New Idea, The Unions Protest The Loudest. Their Attitude Was Memorably Expressed By A Longtime President Of The American Federation Of Teachers: He Said, Quote, 'when School Children Start Paying Union Dues, That's When I'll Start Representing The Interests Of Children.'

I'm A Family Guy. Most Important Thing In My Life By Far Is My Relationship With My Wife And My Sons, Daughters-in-law, And 18 Grandchildren. And For Me, This Is All About Them.

When My Mom Ran For The Senate, My Dad Was There For Her Every Step Of The Way. I Can Still Hear Her Saying In Her Beautiful Voice, 'why Should Women Have Any Less Say Than Men, About The Great Decisions Facing Our Nation?'

Our Nation Is Too Different, Too Diverse To Say That What Works In Massachusetts Is Somehow Going To Be Grabbed By The Federal Government, Usurping The Power Of States And Imposing A One-size-fits-all Plan On The Nation. That Will Not Work.

This Is A Global Effort We're Going To Have To Lead To Overcome This Jihadist Effort. It's More Than Osama Bin Laden. But He Is Going To Pay, And He Will Die.

I'm Not Sure About These Cookies ... They Came From The Local 7/11 Bakery, Or Whatever.

We Conservatives Don't Have A Corner On Saying No. We're Just The Ones Who Say It When It's The Right Thing To Say.

Right Thing To Say

President Barack Obama Has Stood Watch Over The Greatest Job Loss In Modern American History. And That, My Friends, Is One Inconvenient Truth That Will Haunt This President Throughout History.

I've Been Looking At Some Video Clips On Youtube Of President Obama, Then Candidate Obama, Going Through Iowa Making Promises. I Think The Gap Between His Promises And His Performance Is The Largest I've Seen, Well, Since The Kardashian Wedding And The Promise Of 'til Death Do We Part.

Third, We Will Make Trade Work For America By Forging New Trade Agreements. And When Nations Cheat In Trade, There Will Be Unmistakable Consequences.

Second, We Will Give Our Fellow Citizens The Skills They Need For The Jobs Of Today And The Careers Of Tomorrow. When It Comes To The School Your Child Will Attend, Every Parent Should Have A Choice, And Every Child Should Have A Chance.

I Care About A Hundred Percent Of The American People. I Want A Hundred Percent Of The American People To Have A Bright And Prosperous Future.

Prosperous Future

We Have A Potentially Volatile Situation But We Sort Of Live With It, And We Kick The Ball Down The Field And Hope That Ultimately, Somehow, Something Will Happen And Resolve It.

The President May Be A Nice Guy, But He's Just Over His Head.

I Didn't Talk To Anybody And Say, "i'm Going To Do A Speech, Do You Go Some Ideas?" This Is Something I Did On My Own Because I Care Very Deeply About The Country.

One Simple Rule: No Amnesty, No Special Pathway To Citizenship.

I'm Wolf Blitzer And Yes, That's My Real Name.

China Has To Understand America Wants To Trade With Them. We Want A World That's Stable. We Like Free Enterprise, But You Got To Play By The Rules.

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.

We Are A Nation Of Immigrants. We Are The Children And Grandchildren And Great-grandchildren Of The Ones Who Wanted A Better Life, The Driven Ones, The Ones Who Woke Up At Night Hearing That Voice Telling Them That Life In That Place Called America Could Be Better.

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.

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

The Mantle Of Leadership For Promoting The Principles Of Peace Has Fallen To America. We Didn't Ask For It. But It's An Honor That We Have It.

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.

We Reserve Our Deepest Respect And Admiration For Those Who Volunteer For Service And Give Their Lives To Help Keep Our Nation Secure.

Admiration And Respect

We In America Can Compete Successfully With Anyone In The World, And We're Going To.

We [american Nation] Can Now, By Virtue Of New Technology, Actually Get All The Energy We Need In North America Without Having To Go To The - The Arabs Or The Venezuelans Or Anyone Else. That's Why My Policy Starts With A Very Robust Policy To Get All That Energy In North America, Become Energy-secure.

If I'm President, America Will Be Very Strong.

The Principles That Made This Nation A Great And Powerful Leader Of The World, Have Not Lost Their Meaning. They Never Will. We Know We Can Bring This Country Back. I'm Mitt Romney. I Believe In America. And I'm Running For President Of The United States.

As President, My Goal In Afghanistan Will Be To Complete A Successful Transition To Afghan Security Forces By The End Of 2014. I Will Evaluate Conditions On The Ground And Solicit The Best Advice Of Our Military Commanders. And I Will Affirm That My Duty Is Not To My Political Prospects, But To The Security Of The Nation.

No Punishment For Women Who Have Partial Birth Abortions.

Iran Is The Greatest National Security Threat America Faces. Russia Does Continue To Battle Us In The U.n. Time And Time Again. I Have Clear Eyes On This.

I Saw My Father March With Martin Luther King.

Who Let The Dogs Out? Who, Who.

Republicans Should Never Abandon Pro-growth Conservative Principles In An Effort To Embrace The Ideas Of Al Gore.

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.

I've Got A Lot Of Good Friends - The Owner Of The Miami Dolphins And The New York Jets - Both Owners Are Friends Of Mine.

I Was A Severely Conservative Republican Governor.

I Disagree With The Supreme Court's Decision And I Agree With The Dissent. What The Court Did Not Do On Its Last Day In Session, I Will Do On My First Day If Elected President Of The United States, And That Is I Will Act To Repeal Obamacare.

America Has To Stand By Our Allies. I Think The Tension That Existed Between Israel And The United States Was Very Unfortunate.

When There Are Elections, People Tend To Vote For Peace. They Don't Vote For War. So Americans Want To Promote Those Principles Around The World.

I Absolutely Believe That America Has A Responsibility, And The Privilege Of Helping Defend Freedom And Promote The Principles That Make The World More Peaceful. And Those Principles Include Human Rights, Human Dignity, Free Enterprise, Freedom Of Expression, Elections.

I Don't Want To Be Creating New Foreign Policy For - For My Country Or In Any Way To Distance Myself In The Foreign Policy Of - Of Our Nation, But We Respect The Right Of A Nation To Defend Itself.

And That's How It Is In America. We Look To Our Communities, Our Faiths, Our Families For Our Joy, Our Support, In Good Times And Bad. It Is Both How We Live Our Lives And Why We Live Our Lives.

If You Bring [tax] Rates Down, It Makes It Easier For Small Business To Keep More Of Their Capital And Hire People. And For Me, This Is About Jobs. I Want To Get America's Economy Going Again. Fifty-four Percent Of America's Workers Work In Businesses That Are Taxed As Individuals. So When You Bring Those Rates Down, Those Small Businesses Are Able To Keep More Money And Hire More People.

I've Been As Consistent As Human Beings Can Be.

I Am In Favor Of Stem-cell Research. I Am Not In Favor Of Creating New Human Embryos Through Cloning.

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.

With Regards To My Views On Protecting A Woman's Right To Choose, I've Been Very Clear On That. I Will Preserve And Protect A Woman's Right To Choose. And I'm Devoted And Dedicated To Honoring My Word In That Regard. I Am Pro-choice.

I Took Action As Governor To Preserve The Sanctity Of Life.

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.

I Did Not Direct Any Of My Investments Nor Did I Know Of These Investments.

Our Example - And Commitment - To Freedom Has Changed The World. But Along With The Genius Of Our Declaration Of Independence, Our Constitution, And Our Bill Of Rights, Is The Equal Genius Of Our Economic System. Our Founding Fathers Endeavored To Create A Moral And Just Society Like No Other In History, And Out Of That Grew A Moral And Just Economic System The Likes Of Which The World Had Never Seen. Our Freedom, What It Means To Be An American, Has Been Defined And Sustained By The Liberating Power Of The Free Enterprise System.

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.

President Obama Wants To Put Free Enterprise On Trial.

I Want To Get America's Private Sector Growing And I Know How To Do It.

No Mandatory Prison Term For Employers Who Hire Illegals.

When We Have Had In The Past Programs That Have Said That The People Who Come Here Illegally Are Going To Get To Stay Illegally For The Rest Of Their Life, That's Going To Only Encourage More People To Come Here Illegally.

The People Who Are Having The Hard Time Right Now Are Middle-income Americans. Under The President's Policies, Middle-income Americans Have Been Buried. They're Just Being Crushed. Middle-income Americans Have Seen Their Income Come Down By $4,300. This Is A Tax In And Of Itself. I'll Call It The Economy Tax. It's Been Crushing.

As President, I Will Create 12 Million New Jobs.

It Strikes Me As Odd That The Free Exercise Of Religious Faith Is Sometimes Treated As A Problem, Something America Is Stuck With Instead Of Blessed With.

China Has An Interest That's Very Much Like Ours In One Respect, And That Is They Want A Stable World. They Don't Want War. They Don't Want To See Protectionism. They Don't Want To See The World Break Out Into Various Forms Of Chaos.

A Leader Has The Capacity Of Vision, The Ability To See Where Things Are Headed Before People In General See Those Things.

I'm Not Going To Apologize For Being Successful.

Being Successful

I Believe That As People Will Look At Me, They'll See A Person Who Has Dealt With A Number Of Very Difficult And Challenging Circumstances And That I Have Been Able To Successfully Navigate Through Those And Create Greater Strength And Greater Opportunity. I Believe That People Recognize That I'm Someone Who Has Confidence In America's Cause.

Now Is The Moment When We Can Stand Up And Say, 'i'm An American. I Make My Destiny. And We Deserve Better! My Children Deserve Better! My Family Deserves Better. My Country Deserves Better!' So Here We Stand. Americans Have A Choice.

I'm Not Going To Just Take Office In January, I'm Going To Take Responsibility.

My Wife Drives A Couple Of Cadillacs.

Today's Misery Is Real Unemployment, Home Foreclosures And Bankruptcies. This Is The Obama Misery Index - And It's At A Record High. It's Going To Take More Than New Rhetoric To Put Americans Back To Work - It's Going To Take A New President.

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.

Obamacare (modeled Almost Precisely On Romneycare) Is Wrong; It Was Bad Medicine; It's Bad For The Economy, And I Will Repeal It.

The Right Way To Proceed When We Face The Kind Of Challenges We Face Is To Pursue The Strategy Which Ronald Reagan Pursued When We Faced The Challenges Of The Last Century.

We're All A Nation That Believes We're Children Of The Same God.

In Terms Of My Own Plans, I Anticipate Supporting One Of The Three, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio Or John Kasich As Our Nominee.
