I Get Speaker's Fees From Time To Time, But Not Very Much.

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

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.

I Think An Amnesty Program... Which Is What The President (george W. Bush) Has Proposed... Those Are Reasonable Proposals.

Small Business Is Where Jobs Come From. Two-thirds Of Our Jobs Come From Small Businesses.

In Order To Be Able To Fulfill Our Role In The World, America Must Be Strong. America Must Lead. And For That To Happen, We Have To Strengthen Our Economy Here At Home.

I've Always Opposed Gay Marriage. I Believe That We Should Provide Equal Rights To People Regardless Of Their Sexual Orientation But I Do Not Believe That Marriage Should Be Between Two People Of The Same Gender.

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.

Every Time You Have An Occasion To Take Something From The Federal Government And Send It Back To The States, That's The Right Direction. And If You Can Go Even Further, And Send It Back To The Private Sector, That's Even Better.

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.

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

China Can Be Our Partner, But That Doesn't Mean They Can Just Roll All Over Us And Steal Our Jobs On An Unfair Basis.

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 Longed In Many Respects To Actually Be In Vietnam And Be Representing Our Country There And In Some Ways It Was Frustrating Not To Feel Like I Was There As Part Of The Troops That Were Fighting In Vietnam.

I Am Running For President To Help Create A Better Future. A Future Where Everyone Who Wants A Job Can Find One. Where No Senior Fears For The Security Of Their Retirement. An America Where Every Parent Knows That Their Child Will Get An Education That Leads Them To A Good Job And A Bright Horizon.

America Can Compete With Anyone In The World As Long As The Playing Field Is Level. China's Been Cheating Over The Years. One By Holding Down The Value Of Their Currency. Number Two, By Stealing Our Intellectual Property; Our Designs, Our Patents, Our Technology. We Will Have To Have People Play On A Fair Basis.

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

This Feels Good Being Back In Michigan. You Know, The Trees Are The Right Height.

There Are 47 Percent Of The People Who Will Vote For The President No Matter What. All Right, There Are 47 Percent Who Are With Him, Who Are Dependent Upon Government, Who Believe That They Are Victims, Who Believe That Government Has A Responsibility To Care For Them, Who Believe That They Are Entitled To Health Care, To Food, To Housing, To You Name It.

I Will Not Create Jobs Or Hold Jobs That Kill People, And That Plant - That Plant Kills People.

When I Place My Hand On The Bible And Take The Oath Of Office, That Oath Becomes My Highest Promise To God. If I Am Fortunate To Become Your President, I Will Serve No One Religion, No One Group, No One Cause, And No One Interest. A President Must Serve Only The Common Cause Of The People Of The United States.

I Went To Massachusetts To Make A Difference. I Didn't Go There To Begin A Political Career Running Time And Time Again. I Made A Difference. I Put In Place The Things I Wanted To Do.

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.

I Should Tell My Story. I'm Also Unemployed ... I'm Networking. I Have My Sight On A Particular Job.

I Don't Want To See Trickle Down Racism. I Don't Want To See A President Of The United States Saying Things Which Change The Character Of The Generations Of Americans That Are Following. Presidents Have An Impact On The Nature Of Our Nature. And Trickle Down Racism, Trickle Down Bigotry, And Trickle Down Misogyny, All These Extraordinarily Dangerous To The Heart And Character Of America.

I Fully Support Governor Kasich's-i Think It's Called 'question 2' In Ohio. Fully Support That. In Fact, On My Website As Far Back As April I Laid Out I Supported 'question 2.' ... I Support It 110%.

Government Does Not Create Jobs. Government Does Not Create Jobs.

In Order To Become A Success, A Business Doesn't Just Have To Do Well, It Has To To Better Than Its Competitors. Being Number One Isn't Just About Bragging Rights. Often It Means The Difference Between Prospering And Merely Hanging On.

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

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

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.

What's Up, Gangstas? It's The M-i-double-tizzle.

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.

Together We Will Build An America Where Hope Is A New Job With A Paycheck, Not A Faded Word On An Old Bumper Sticker.

There's No Question But That A Nuclear Iran, A Nuclear-capable Iran Is Unacceptable To America. It Presents A Threat Not Only To Our Friends But Ultimately A Threat To Us To Have Iran Have Nuclear Material, Nuclear Weapons That Could Be Used Against Us Or Used To Be Threatening To Us.

Three Years Ago, This Week, A Newly Elected President Obama Faced The American People And He Said, Look, If I Can't Turn This Economy Around In Three Years, I'll Be Looking At A One-term Proposition, And We're Here To Collect! You Know The Results. It's Been 35 Months Of Unemployment Above 8 Percent.

The Soles Of Neil Armstrong's Boots On The Moon Made Permanent Impressions On Our Souls And In Our National Psyche. Ann And I Watched Those Steps Together On Her Parent's Sofa. Like All Americans We Went To Bed That Night Knowing We Lived In The Greatest Country In The History Of The World. God Bless Neil Armstrong.

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.

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.

Illegal Immigrants Should Be Required To Return To Their Home Country.

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.

Leadership - Leadership Is About Taking Responsibility, Not Making Excuses.

It Was Absolutely Critical To Renew The Bush Tax Cuts. Letting Them Expire Would Result In A Massive Tax Increase That Would Retard Economic Growth.

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.

Who Let The Dogs Out? Who, Who.

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.

Religious Freedom Opens A Door For Americans That Is Closed To Too Many Others Around The World. But Whether We Walk Through That Door, And What We Do With Our Lives After We Do, Is Up To Us.

I'll Also Make Sure That America Has Trade Relations With China That Work For Us. I've Watched Year In And Year Out As Companies Have Shut Down And People Have Lost Their Jobs Because China Has Not Played By The Same Rules, In Part By Holding Down Artificially The Value Of Their Currency. It Holds Down The Prices Of Their Goods. It Means Our Goods Aren't As Competitive And We Lose Jobs. That's Got To End.

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.

Conservatives Believe In Providing Constitutional Rights To Our Citizens, Not To Enemy Combatants Like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

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'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.

It's Not Government That Makes Business Successful. It's Not Government Investments That Makes Businesses Grow And Hire People.

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

It's False Advertising To Call Mrs. Obama The First Lady. First Woman, Maybe, But Certainly Not A Lady. Ann Romney Is An Actual Lady.

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.

America Can Be A Partner With China. We Don't Have To Be An Adversary In Any Way, Shape Or Form. We Can Work With Them, We Can Collaborate With Them, If They're Willing To Be Responsible.

The Words Spoken By The Leader Of The Free World Can Expand The Frontiers Of Freedom Or Shrink Them.

I Support The Work Of The Nra, But Disagree Sometimes.

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

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. Life Is A Bit Like Being On A Roller Coaster, Which Is, You Get On And There's No Stopping Along The Way. There Are Some Days When You Feel Like This Is Pretty Tough, And There Are The Days That Are Exhilarating, But You Just Keep On Going.

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

I'm Not Going To Say To Putin That He'll Get More Flexibility After The Election. After The Election He'll Get More Backbone.

I Was Too Important To Go To Vietnam.

My Dad Had Been Born In Mexico And His Family Had To Leave During The Mexican Revolution.

And Fifth, We Will Champion Small Businesses, America's Engine Of Job Growth. That Means Reducing Taxes On Business, Not Raising Them. It Means Simplifying And Modernizing The Regulations That Hurt Small Business The Most. And It Means That We Must Rein In The Skyrocketing Cost Of Healthcare By Repealing And Replacing Obamacare.

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

By Making Bold Cuts In Spending And Commonsense Entitlement Reforms, We Will Make Our Government Simpler, Smaller, And Smarter.

It Seems That The First Victim Of An Obama Campaign Is The Truth. It Seems That The First Victim Of An Obama Campaign Is The Truth.

The Words Spoken By The Leader Of The Free World Can Expand The Frontiers Of Freedom Or Shrink Them. When Ronald Reagan Called On Gorbachev To 'tear Down This Wall,' A Surge Of Confidence Rose That Would Ultimately Breach The Bounds Of The Evil Empire.

I Served As A Missionary For My Church. I Served As A Pastor In My Congregation For About 10 Years. I’ve Sat Across The Table From People Who Were - Were Out Of Work And Worked With Them To Try And Find New Work Or To Help Them Through Tough Times.

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.

As President, I Will Create 12 Million New Jobs.

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

I'm A Son Of Detroit. I Was Born In Detroit.

Mr. Chairman, Delegates. I Accept Your Nomination For President Of The United States Of America. I Do So With Humility, Deeply Moved By The Trust You Have Placed In Me. It Is A Great Honor. It Is An Even Greater Responsibility.

You Can't Have 23 Million People Struggling To Get A Job. You Can't Have An Economy That Over The Last Three Years Keeps Slowing Down Its Growth Rate. You Can't Have Kids Coming Out Of College, Half Of Them Can't Find A Job Today, Or A Job That's Commensurate With Their College Degree. We Have To Get Our Economy Going.

When It Comes To The Economy, My Highest Priority As President Will Be Worrying About Your Job, Not Saving My Own.

Instead Of Leading The World By How Much We Borrow, It's Time That We Make Sure We Lead The World In How Much We Build And Create And Invest.

I Feel Very Deeply About The Need To Respect And Tolerate People Of Different Social - Or Sexual Orientation. But At The Same Time, I Believe Marriage Should Be Preserved As An Institution For One Man And One Woman.

Well You'd See A Very Dramatic Change In The Perspective Of Small Businesses, Entrepreneurs, Middle-size Businesses, And Perhaps Even Some Large Multinationals. They'd Say, You Know What, America Looks Like A Good Place To Invest Again, A Good Place To Take Risk, A Good Place To Hire Again.

We Use Ann Sparingly Right Now So That People Don't Get Tired Of Her.

We Cannot Continue To Have An Excellence Gap With The Rest Of The World And Intend To Remain The [economic Superpower] And [military Superpower] Of The Planet. That's Just Not Going To Happen.

My Dad, As You Probably Know, Was The Governor Of Michigan And Was The Head Of A Car Company. But He Was Born In Mexico... And Had He Been Born Of, Uh, Mexican Parents, I'd Have A Better Shot At Winning This. But He Was Unfortunately Born To Americans Living In Mexico. He Lived There For A Number Of Years. I Mean, I Say That Jokingly, But It Would Be Helpful To Be Latino.

In Terms Of My Own Plans, I Anticipate Supporting One Of The Three, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio Or John Kasich As Our Nominee. If They Don't Become The Nominee, Then I'm Probably Going To Go To The Voting Booth And Find Someone Else Who's Running As A Conservative Or Perhaps Just Write In The Name Of Someone I Believe Should Become The President Of The United States, Who I Could Be Proud Of And Who I Believe Is Interested In Balancing The Budget, Keeping America Safe With A Strong Military, And Is Not Willing To Disparage Fellow Americans, Mexican-americans, Muslims, And So Forth.

Freedom Requires Religion In Society, Not In Individuals.

Religion In Society

We Can't Expect Entrepreneurs And Businesses Large And Small To Take Their Life Savings Or Their Company's Money And Invest In America If They Think We're Headed To The Road To Greece. And That's Where We're Going Right Now Unless We Finally Get Off This Spending And Borrowing Binge. And I'll Get Us On Track To A Balanced Budget.

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

I Don't Want To Transform America. I Want To Restore To America The Economic Values Of Freedom And Opportunity And Limited Government That Has Made Us The Powerhouse Of The World.

I Think The Minimum Wage Ought To Keep Pace With Inflation.

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

I Would Cap The Amount Of Federal Government Can Spend At 20 Percent Of The Economy. Bring It Back To 20 Percent Or Lower. And Say, We Are Not Going To Spend Above That Level. Democrats, They Want To Raise Your Taxes And Spend More And More And Turn Us Into An Economy Which Is No Longer Driven By The Private Sector.

Oh, I've Got Glitter In My Hair. That's Not All That's In My Hair, I'll Tell You That. I Glue It On Every Morning, Whether I Need To Or Not.

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.

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

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.

I've Been A Hunter Pretty Much All My Life.

Republicans Prefer Straight Talk To Politically Correct Talk!

Politically Correct

If Israel Is Attacked, America Has Their Back, Not Just Diplomatically, Not Just Culturally, But Militarily.

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

I Believe The Family Is The Foundation Of America - And That We Must Fight To Protect And Strengthen It. I Believe In The Sanctity Of Human Life. I Believe That People And Their Elected Representatives Should Make Our Laws, Not Unelected Judges.

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

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

I Like Those Fancy Raincoats You Bought. Really Sprung For The Big Bucks.

Government Is Taking 40 Percent Of The Gdp. And That's At The State, Local And Federal Level. President Obama Has Taken Government Spending At The Federal Level From 20 Percent To 25 Percent.

There Are A Lot Of Reasons Not To Elect Me...

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.

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!

The Nation, As You Know, Is At A Critical Point. At A Time Like This We Can't Risk Partisan Bickering And Political Posturing. Our Leaders Have To Reach Across The Aisle To Do The People's Work.

Giving Tuition Breaks To The Children Of Illegal Immigrants Needs To Stop.

We Need To Have Strong Allies. Our Association And Connection With Our Allies Is Essential To America's Strength. We're The Great Nation That Has Allies, 42 Allies And Friends Around The World.
