Americans Different In Some Maybe Thoughts Or Emphasis Still Have The Same Ideas.

It Doesn't Embarrass Me One Bit To Let You Know That I Believe Adam And Eve Were Real People.

The Democrats Say We Ought To Give Barack Obama Credit For Trying. That Sounds Like The Nonsense Of Giving Every Kid A Trophy For Showing Up. Friends, We're Talking About Leading The Country, Not Playing On A Third-grade Soccer Team!

It's Time For The Government To Scale Back, Not For People Of Faith To Scale Back!

Now, Many Americans Fear That China Might Grow Too Strong ... I'm More Worried That America Might Be Getting Too Weak. It's Not Bad For The United States If Other Nations Have A Strong Economy.

I Didn't Major In Math. I Majored In Miracles, And I Still Believe In Them, Too.

We've Had A Congress That's Spent Money Like John Edwards At A Beauty Shop.

A Leader Is The One Who Can Outline The Broad Vision And The Direction, And Say Here's Where We Are Going To Go, Here's Why We Need To Go There, And Here's How We Are Going To Get There. A Manager Is The One Who Actually Gets Up Under The Hood And Tunes The Carburetor.

The Mayor Of Boston Says He Won't Allow Chick-fil-a In Boston. Amazing That A Mayor Now Has The Power To Stop Commerce Because He Personally Disagrees With The Personal Views Of The Ceo Of A Company.

I'll Release My Tax Returns When Barack Obama Releases His College Transcripts And The Copy Of His Admission Records To Show Whether He Got Any Loans As A Foreign Student. When He Releases That, Talk To Me About My Tax Returns.

When Our Founding Fathers Put Their Signatures On The Declaration Of Independence, Those 56 Brave People, Most Of Whom By The Way Were Clergymen, They Said That We Had Certain Inalienable Rights Given To Us By Our Creator, And Among These Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Happiness, Life Being One Of Them. I Still Believe That.

Pursuit Of Happiness

It Has To Do With The Incredibly Dangerous Place That This World Is Gonna Be As A Result Of A Deal In Which We Got Nothing. We Didn't Even Get Four Hostages Out. We Got Nothing, And Iran Gets Everything They Want.

I Believe Donald Trump Would Be Better For America Than Barack Obama, Because He Understands Business. Donald Trump Has Taken A Pro- Life Position. He Believes That We're Getting Shanghaied By China.

You Don't Just Give The Executive Branch Unlimited Resources, Unlimited Power. Our Founders Were Very Concerned About Too Much Power Being Invested In Any One, In Any Branch. The Balance Of Power Is Fundamental To Our System.

People Who Are Tired Of K Street Corruption And Wall Street Greed Are Ready For Main Street Values.

No One Is More Important To The Future Of Our State Than Our Teachers.

There Is A Crisis In America. That Crisis Is Divorce. It Is Easier To Get Out Of A Marriage Than (to Get Out Of A) Contract To Buy A Used Car.

You Know, In My Hometown Of Hope, Arkansas, The Three Sacred Heroes Were Jesus, Elvis, And Fdr, Not Necessarily In That Order.

It's The Best Proposal That We Ought To Have, Because It's Flatter, It's Fairer, It's Finite, It's Family-friendly. And Instead We've Had Congress That's Spent Money Like [john] Edwards At A Beauty Shop.

Ok To Ban Smoking From Workplaces, But Not To Ban Smoking.

I'm Still One Who Says That We Can Get Rid Of The Internal Revenue Service If We Would Pass The Fair Tax, Which Is A Tax On Consumption Rather Than A Tax On People's Income, And Move Power Back Where The Founders Believed It Should Have Been All Along.

One Thing Governors Feel, Democrats And Republicans Alike, Is That We Have A Health Care System That, If You're On Medicaid, You Have Unlimited Access To Health Care, At Unlimited Levels, At No Cost. No Wonder It's Running Away.

Women I Know Are Smart, Educated, Intelligent, Capable Of Doing Anything That Anybody Else Can Do.

Prayer's Important, Not Just As Some Kind Of A Metaphysical Exercise, But I Think It's A Way To Refresh One's Own Mind And Motive. If You're Praying, You're Really Looking Beyond Your Own Personal Thoughts And The Pressures That Are Around You.

Terrorists Cut People's Heads Off And That's What They Do In The Planned Parenthood Clinics.

The Health Care System Is Really Designed To Reward You For Being Unhealthy. If You Are A Healthy Person And Work Hard To Be Healthy, There Are No Benefits.

Pray A Little More, Work A Little Harder, Save, Wait, Be Patient And, Most Of All, Live Within Our Means. That's The American Way. It's Not Spending Ourselves Into Prosperity Or Taxing Ourselves Into Prosperity.

Government Can Ensure That We Share Schools And Streets And Lunch Counters And Buses And Elevators And Theaters, But Let Us Never Forget That Only God Can Give Us The Power To Love Each Other And To Respect Each Other And To Share Life, Liberty And The Pursuit Of Happiness.

Prayer Reminds Me It's Not Just About Me. It's About All The People With Whom I Share This Planet, And All Of Whom God Has Created, And All Of Whom He Cares Just As Much About As He Cares About Me.

We Had So Many Different Presidents, Including Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln - There Were Other Founders Like Hamilton, Adams - Who Made It Very Clear That The Courts Can't Make A Law. The Constitution Is Expressly Clear That That's A Power Reserved To Congress.

I Think At The Heart Of The Pro-life Movement Is The Idea That All People Are Created Equal, Endowed By Their Creator With Certain Unalienable Rights Starting With Life.

Vertical Lift-up Politics Rather Than Horizontal Left-right.

I Believe Most Americans Want Their Next President To Remind Them Of The Guy They Work With, Not The Guy Who Laid Them Off.

The Notion That The Supreme Court Comes Up With The Ruling And That Automatically Subjects The Two Other Branches To Following It Defies Everything There Is About The Three Equal Branches Of Government.

One Of The Reasons That Social Security Is In So Much Trouble Is That The Only Funding Stream Comes From People Who Get A Wage. The People Who Get Wages Is Declining Dramatically. Most Of The Income In This Country Is Made By People At The Top Who Get Dividends And - And Capital Gains.

I Didn't Get Into Politics Because I Thought Government Had A Better Answer. I Got Into Politics Because I Knew Government Didn't Have The Real Answers, That The Real Answers Lie In Accepting Jesus Christ Into Our Lives.

I Did Every Diet: Atkins. Cabbage-soup Diet. Dean Ornish. But I Couldn't Live The Rest Of My Life Like A Rabbit.

I'll Tell You What The Fair Tax Does, It Empowers The Consumer And It Lets People Have Their Whole Paycheck And It Takes The Power Out Of The Hands Of Congress And Puts It In The Hands Of The Consumer. That's Power To The People.

Raised Arkansas Taxes 5 Times, But Lowered Taxes 94 Times.

We Have Something More Reliable Than A Poll That Changes Everyday.

So When We're Really Addressing Issues Like Poverty, You Can't Do That Without Addressing The Real Driver Of Some Of Those, Which Is Stable Homes, Families. So That's Why To Me Those Issues Are Important. They're Not Frivolous. They're Critical Economic Issues.

Life Question Reflects Nation's Nature & Equality Of Humans.

My Working Poor Parents Told Me That I Could Do Better. They Taught Me That I Was As Good As Anybody Else. And It Never Occurred To Them To Tell Me That I Could Just Rest Comfortably And Wait For Good Old Uncle Sugar To Feed Me, Lead Me And Then Bleed Me.

We Need To Be Clear In Calling Out Evil For What It Is. When People Will Behead A Child, And When People Will Leave People Starving On Top Of A Mountain Without Food Or Water - 40,000 Of Them - I Don't Care What Religion It Is: It's Evil.

The President Can't Tell You What We Got. I'll Tell You What The World Got. The World Has A Burgeoning Nuclear Power That Didn't, As The Soviets, Say "we Might Defend Ourselves In A War."

[w]atching Ducks Land On A Lake In Arkansas In The Winter Is About The Closest To Heaven As You Can Find On This Earth... And As Someone Who Believes, According To My Faith, I Will Go To Heaven When I Die, I Am Pretty Sure That There Is Duck Hunting In Heaven!

Marriage Is Not Defined In The Federal Constitution At All; It's A Matter For The States. And Applying The Fourteenth Amendment To The Equality Of Men And Women And Their Relationship In Marriage Is Totally Different Than Redefining Marriage. Here Is The Overreach Of The Judiciary.

A Fraudulent Vote Is A Stolen Vote. It Steals A Vote From The Thin Air And Nullifies The Legal And Legitimate Vote Of A Tax-paying Citizen, Whose Rights To A Fair Election Shouldn’t Be Tampered With.

I'm Really Tired Of Americans Being The Only Ones Asked To Do All The Heavy Lifting When It Comes To Charity, And, Quite Frankly, My Number One Concern Right Now Is Taking Care Of The Fact That Americans Are Taking It In The Gut Without Jobs. Many Of Them Working Two And Three Part Time Jobs. And, If America Wants To Do Something Great, Let's Get Our Economy Growing Again, Stabilize The Dollar, And We'll Be In A Much Better Position To Help People Around The World.

Everywhere I Go On The Campaign Trail, I Meet Voters With A Real Thirst For A Healthy Discussion Of The Issues. Ultimately, People Don't Care Whether An Issue Comes From The Left Or The Right. What They Want To Talk About Are Ideas That Lift America Up And Make Us Better. It's What I Call 'vertical Politics'.

I Truly Believe That America's Best Days Are Still Ahead Of Her. And For This, I Am Thankful To God. I Am Thankful That One Day The War On Terror Will End, Not Because We Have Lost, But Because We Have Won! I Am Thankful That One Day Our Economy Will Rebound, Not Because Of Governmental Micro-management, But As A Result Of America's Entrepreneurial Resolve. I Am Thankful That One Day The Born And The Unborn Will Be Equal Under The Eyes Of The Law In Every State.

However, What Article Vi [of The U.s. Constitution] Does Not Do, And Was Never Intended To Do, Is Deny Me The Right To Say, As Loudly As I May Choose, That I Will On No Account Vote For A Smirking Hick Like Mike Huckabee, Who Is An Unusually Stupid Primate But Who Does Not Have The Elementary Intelligence To Recognize The Fact That This Is What He Is.

I Think That, That It Would Be Hard For New Hampshire To Vote For Somebody Who Was A Fundamentalist Minister, Affable As He Is. He Does Seem To Actually Want To Write, For Example, A Prohibition Against Abortion Into The Constitution , Which Ronald Reagan, For All His Talking About It, Never Tried To Do One Time.

Well I'm Sure Now That The Press Is Going To Tell You (mitt Romney) Isn't Perfect. Now My Friends For The Past Four Years, We've Tried The One That The Press Thought Was Perfect And That Hasn't Worked Out All That Well For Us.

But I Think Schools Also Ought To Be Fair To All Views. Because, Frankly, Darwinism Is Not An Established Scientific Fact. It Is A Theory Of Evolution, That's Why It's Called The Theory Of Evolution.

Don't Mormons Believe That Jesus And The Devil Are Brothers?

But It's Going To Take Leadership Who Sees The Greatness Of This Country, And Who Believes That Once Again We Can Be One Nation, Under God.

The Problem Is We Have A Wall Street-to-washington Access Of Power That Has Controlled The Political Climate. The Donor Class Feeds The Political Class Who Does The Dance That The Donor Class Wants. And The Result Is Federal Government Keeps Getting Bigger.
