I've Met Graduating College Kids Facing Loan Payments And A Bad Economy, And They Are Worried That They Won't Be Able To Get A Job. This Is Not The Way America Needs To Be.

I Have Seen A Lot Of People, By The Way, Who Were Pro-life Become Pro-choice. No One Seems To Have Any Difficulty With That At All. That's Easily Accepted. But, If You Are Pro-choice And You Become Pro-life, There Are A Lot Of Folks, Particularly In The Media, Who Find That Unacceptable.

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

I Absolutely Believe That Those Who Come Here Illegally Should Not Be Given Favoritism Or A Special Route To Becoming Permanent Residents Or Citizens That's Not Given To Those People Who Have Stayed In Line Legally. I Just Think We Have To Follow The Law, I Think That's The Right Course.

My Father And I Marched With Martin Luther King Jr. Through The Streets Of Detroit.

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

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

I Have Some Friends Who Are Nascar Team Owners.

I Want To Help Small Businesses Grow And Thrive. I Know How To Make That Happen. I Spent My Life In The Private Sector. I Know Why Jobs Come And Why They Go.

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.

Ok To Appoint Atheists Or Agnostics-no Litmus Test Of Faith.

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.

Outlaw Embryo Farming, But Allow Using Surplus Embryos.

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

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.

As A Matter Of Fact, Latin America's Economy Is Almost As Big As The Economy Of China. We're All Focused On China. Latin America Is A Huge Opportunity For America - Time Zone, Language Opportunities.

The Tarp Program Was Nevertheless Necessary To Keep Banks From Collapsing In A Cascade Of Failures.

I Would Like To Have Campaign Spending Limits...

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

Freedom Requires Religion Just As Religion Requires Freedom.

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.

President Obama Instituted The Most Anti-growth, Anti-investment, Anti-jobs Measures That We Have Seen In Our Lifetime. Now He Called His Agenda Ambitious, I Call It Reckless.

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

Certainly, No Church Should Be Involved In Trying To Set The Affairs Of The Nation.

Frankly, I Was Born With A Silver Spoon.

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.

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.

Ronald Reagan Was Able To Accomplish Extraordinary Purposes For Our Country Without Having To Put Our Military Forces Into Conflict.

This Is The America That I Love. This Is A Great People. We Can Do Anything. We Can Achieve Anything. We've Got A Government That Has Gotten In The Way Of The American People. We're Going To Change That In November.

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.

Starving Research And Development Is Like Eating The Seed Corn.

Research And Development

I Saw My Father March With Martin Luther King.

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.

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.

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 Was The Right Decision To Go Into Iraq. I Supported It At The Time; I Support It Now.

I Think The Best Answer Is As Little As Possible.

Moral Certainty, Clear Standards, And A Commitment To Spiritual Ideals Will Set You Apart In A World That Searches For Meaning.

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

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

People Are Taking A Closer Look At Donald Trump. I Think The Best Look They Got Was At The Last Debate. I Think Ted Cruz And Marco Rubio Prosecuted Their Case Effectively. Donald Doesn't Have Some Great Answers. When They Talk, For Instance, About Immigration And Releasing Those Tapes From The New York Times, We Began Talking About Flexibility And Immigration.

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

It's Time For The Party Of Big Ideas, Not The Party Of Big Brother!

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.

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?'

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

I Think Folks Need To Understand The Whole Background Of Donald Trump. I Find From Time To Time, I Talk To People About The Campaign And They Say, Gosh, I Didn't Know That Donald Trump Gave A Bunch Of Money To Jimmy Carter And To Hillary Clinton And To Harry Reid And To John Kerry.

I Think We Can All Agree This Is A Very Important Election [2016]. We Don't Want To See Hillary Clinton Become The President Of The United States.

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

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

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

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

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.

I Will Insist On A Military So Powerful No One Would Ever Think Of Challenging It.

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.

And Let Me Make This Very Clear - Unlike President Obama, I Will Not Raise Taxes On The Middle Class. As President, I Will Protect The Sanctity Of Life. I Will Honor The Institution Of Marriage. And I Will Guarantee America's First Liberty: The Freedom Of Religion.

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

If You Believe The Disappointments - If You Believe The Disappointments In The Last Few Years Are A Detour And Not Our Destiny, Then I'm Asking For Your Vote.

I Believe That Assad Must Go. I Believe He Will Go. But I Believe - We Want To Make Sure That America Has The Relationships Of Friendship With The People That Take His Place, Steps That In The Years To Come We See Syria As A Friend, And Syria As A Responsible Party In The Middle East.

The Right Way To Deal With Healthcare Reform Is Not To Have A One-size-fits-all Plan That's Imposed On All The States, But Recognizing The Differences Between Different States' Populations, States Should Be Able To Craft Their Own Plans To Get All Their Citizens Insured, And To Make Sure That Preexisting Conditions Are Covered.

Healthcare Reform

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.

Bottom Line Is President Obama Has Said That It Is A Top Priority Of The United States Of America To Ensure That Iran Never Achieves A Nuclear.

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.

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

If A Society Takes It Upon Itself To Prescribe And Proscribe Certain Streams Of Belief - To Prohibit Certain Less-favored Strains Of Conscience - It May Be The Non-believer Who Is Among The First To Be Condemned. A Coercive Monopoly Of Belief Threatens Everyone, Whether We Are Talking About Those Who Search The Philosophies Of Men Or Follow The Words Of God.

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

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. Today Steel Dynamics Is One Of The Largest Steel Producers In The United States.

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

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

Russia Does Continue To Battle Us In The U.n. Time And Time Again. I Have Clear Eyes On This. I'm Not Going To Wear Rose-colored Glasses When It Comes To Russia, Or Mr. (russian President Vladimir) Putin. And I'm Certainly Not Going To Say To Him, I'll Give You More Flexibility After The Election. After The Election, He'll Get More Backbone.

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.

Our Worldly Successes Cannot Be Guaranteed, But Our Ability To Achieve Spiritual Success Is Entirely Up To Us, Thanks To The Grace Of God. The Best Advice I Know Is To Give Is To Give Those Worldly Things Your Best But Never Your All - Reserve The Ultimate Hope For The Only One Who Can Grant It.

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.

Dependency Is Death To Initiative, To Risk-taking And Opportunity.

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

I Believe The Tax On Capital Gains Should Be Zero.

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.

I Believe That The Faith Heritage Of This Country Is Actually A Very Important Part Of America's Culture.

This, In My View, Is The Highest Responsibility Of The President Of The United States, Which Is To Maintain The Safety Of The American People.

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.

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

My Strategy Is Pretty Straightforward, Which Is To Go After The Bad Guys, To Make Sure We Do Our Very Best To Interrupt Them, To - To Kill Them, To Take Them Out Of The Picture. But My Strategy Is Broader Than That. That's - That's Important, Of Course. But The Key That We're Going To Have To Pursue Is A - Is A Pathway To Get The Muslim World To Be Able To Reject Extremism On Its Own.

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

I Think The Minimum Wage Outght To Keep Pace With Inflation. I Think The Minimum Wage Is A Good Thing To Have In Our Country And I Think It Ought To Be Updated.

I'm Not Concerned About The Very Poor, We Have A Safety Net There, If We Need To Repair, I'll Fix It. I'm Not Concerned About The Very Rich, They're Doing Just Fine. I'm Concerned About The Very Heart Of America, The 90-95 Percent Of Americans Who Are Struggling, And I'll Continue To Take That Message Across The Country.

England [sic] Is Just A Small Island. Its Roads And Houses Are Small. With Few Exceptions, It Doesn't Make Things That People In The Rest Of The World Want To Buy. And If It Hadn't Been Separated From The Continent By Water, It Almost Certainly Would Have Been Lost To Hitler's Ambitions.

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

I Will Work And Fight For Stem Cell Research.

I Can't Possibly Predict Precisely What The Unemployment Rate Will Be At The End Of One Year. I Can Tell You That Over A Period Of Four Years, By Virtue Of The Policies That We'd Put In Place, We'd Get The Unemployment Rate Down To 6%, And Perhaps A Little Lower.

America Cannot Continue To Lead The Family Of Nations Around The World If We Suffer The Collapse Of The Family Here At Home.

With These 11 Million People Here Illegally, Let's Have Them Registered, Know Who They Are, Those That Are Her Paying Taxes And Not Taking Government Benefits Should Begin A Process Towards Application For Citizenship.

Everything Corporations Earn Ultimately Goes To People.

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

That's A Big Lava Lamp. Congratulations.

Congratulations

What You Believe, What You Value, How You Live - Matters.

Fourth, To Assure Every Entrepreneur And Every Job Creator That Their Investments In America Will Not Vanish As Have Those In Greece, We Will Cut The Deficit And Put America On Track To A Balanced Budget.

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.

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

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.

And I Hear From Time To Time People Say, Hey, Wait A Second, We Have Civil Liberties We Have To Worry About. But Don't Forget The Most Important Civil Liberty I Expect From My Government Is My Right To Be Kept Alive, And That's What We're Going To Have To Do.

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

I Went To A Number Of Women's Groups And Said, "can You Help Us Find Folks," And They Brought Us Whole Binders Full Of Women.

In Order To Change The Direction Of This Country, We Need To Change Presidents. Americans Need A Conservative Businessman To Get This Economy Moving Again, Not Career Politicians. That Is Why I Am Running. Next Week, I Will Lay Out My Specific Plan To Put America Back To Work.

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.

Let's Take Energy, For Instance. I Understand That In Some Industries, The Input Cost Of Energy Is A Major Factor In Whether An Industry Is Going To Locate In The United States Or Go Elsewhere. So, When, At Bain Capital, We Started A New Steel Company Called Steel Dynamics In Indiana, The Cost Of Energy Was A Very Important Factor To The Success Of That Enterprise.

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.

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.

When The World Needs Someone To Do The Really Big Stuff, You Need An American.

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.

What We Need To Do With Respect To The Middle East Is Strong, Steady Leadership, Not Wrong And Reckless Leadership That Is All Over The Map.

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

Washington Is Broken. I Know What It Takes To Get This Country Back, And Will Work With Good Democrats And Good Republicans To Do That.

I Will Begin My Presidency With A Jobs Tour. President Obama Began With An Apology Tour. America, He Said, Had Dictated To Other Nations. No Mr. President, America Has Freed Other Nations From Dictators.

I'm Not Going To Apologize For Being Successful.

Being Successful

I Believe That Since Roe V. Wade Has Been The Law For 20 Years We Should Sustain And Support It.

I Don't Just Talk About Change. I Actually Have A Plan To Execute Change And Make It Happen.

I'm A Strong Believer In Stating Your Position And Not Wavering.

If Anyone Accuses Me Of Lying, I'll Simply Say I'm Not Lying, Which Is Just An Extension Of The Overall Lying Strategy.

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

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.

There Are A Few Things That Were Disconcerting: The Stories About The Private Security Firm Not Having Enough People, Supposed Strike Of The Immigration And Customs Officials. That, Obviously, Is Not Something Which Is Encouraging.

Mr. President, You Were Elected To Lead. You Chose To Follow. And Now It's Time For You To Get Out Of The Way.

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.

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'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.

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

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.

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.

Whatever Happened To Trump Airlines? How About Trump University? And Then There's Trump Magazine And Trump Vodka And Trump Steaks, And Trump Mortgage? A Business Genius He [donald Trump] Is Not.

America Is Not Better Off Than It Was $1.8 Trillion Dollars Ago.

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

George Herbert Walker Bush. He Was A Pretty-pretty Great President And Anything But.

Great Presidents

You Don't Have To Be Larger Than Life To Be A Hero, Just Larger Than Yourself.

Larger Than Life

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.

I Want You To Remember When Our White House Reflected The Best Of Who We Are, Not The Worst Of What Europe Has Become.

I Was In The World Of Business For 25 Years. If You Didn't Balance Your Budget, You Went Out Of Business.

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.

For Me, Politics Is Not A Career. For Me, My Career Was Being In Business And Starting A Business And Making It Successful. My - My Life's Passion Has Been My Family, My Faith, And My Country.

I Love America. I'm Concerned About America And I Believe The Heart And Soul Of Conservatives And Republicans Recognize That The Principles That Donald Trump Is Talking About Have Nothing To Do With Conservatism, Nothing To Do With Keeping America Strong.

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

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

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.

We Will Achieve North America Energy Independence By 2020, By Taking Full Advantage Of Our Oil, Our Gas, Our Coal, Our Renewables And Our Nuclear Power. Abundant, Inexpensive, Domestic Energy Will Not Only Create Energy Jobs, It Will Bring Back Manufacturing Jobs.

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.

The America We All Know Has Been A Story Of The Many Becoming One, Uniting To Preserve Liberty, Uniting To Build The Greatest Economy In The World, Uniting To Save The World From Unspeakable Darkness.

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

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.

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 Think People Want To See Change, Want To See Something New And Hillary Clinton Is Just Not That Person.

I'm Not A Big-game Hunter. I've Always Been A Rodent And Rabbit Hunter. Small Varmints, If You Will.

Those Who Have Come To The United States Illegally Should Not Be Given Amnesty Or An Easier Path To Citizenship Over Those Already In Line.

Palestinians Have No Interest Whatsoever In Establishing Peace And That The Pathway To Peace Is Almost Unthinkable To Accomplish.

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.

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.

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

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

I Like Pbs. I Love Big Bird ... But I'm Not Going To Keep On Spending Money On Things To Borrow Money From China To Pay For It.

I'm Mitt Romney-and Yes Wolf, That's Also My First Name.

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

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.

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.

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.

We Will Strengthen Our Security By Building Missile Defense, Restoring Our Military Might, And Standing By And Strengthening Our Intelligence Officers.

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.

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.

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.

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

Democrats Want To Use The Slowdown As An Excuse To Do What Their Special Interests Are Always Begging For: Higher Taxes, Bigger Government And Less Trade With Other Nations.

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

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

Deadly Assault Weapons Have No Place In Massachusetts.

Assault Weapons

We Have Weakened Our Economy In America. We Need A Strong Economy.

No Punishment For Women Who Have Partial Birth Abortions.

Ronald Reagan Was A President Of Strength. His Philosophy Was A Philosophy Of Strength - A Strong Military, A Strong Economy And Strong Families.

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.

The Embassy In Cairo Put Out A Statement After Their Grounds Had Been Breached. ... An Apology For America's Values Is Never The Right Course. ... The Statement That Came From The Administration Was - Was A Statement Which Is Akin To Apology And I Think Was A - A Severe Miscalculation.

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

We Have Always Been A Nation That Has Celebrated Success Of Various Kinds. The Kid That Gets The Honor Roll, The Individual Worker That Gets A Promotion, The Person That Gets A Better Job. And In Fact, The Person That Builds A Business. And By The Way, If You Have A Business And You Started It, You Did Build It. And You Deserve Credit For That.

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.

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

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.

Securing The Border Is Priority Number One.

People Of Different Faiths, Like Yours And Mine, Sometimes Wonder Where We Can Meet In Common Purpose, When There Are So Many Differences In Creed And Theology. Surely The Answer Is That We Can Meet In Service.

My Doctrine Is As I've Described, Which Is Confidence In Our Cause, Clarity In Our Purpose, And Resolve In Our Might.

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

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.

We Have A President, Who I Think Is A Nice Guy, But He Spent Too Much Time At Harvard, Perhaps.

The Answer For Healthcare Is Market Incentives, Not Healthcare By A Godzilla-sized Government Bureaucracy.

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.

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.

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?'

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.
