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.

More From Mitt Romney

I Try And Make It To The Word Exactly What I Said Four Years Ago And What I Said Was That Those Who've Come Here Illegally Should Not Be Given A Special Pathway, A Favored Pathway To Become Permanent Residents Merely By Virtue Of Having Come Here Illegally. That They Should Be In Line With Everybody - They Should Be Given The Opportunity To Get In Line With Everybody Else But They Go To The Back Of The Line.

Iraq Is Fragile And May Fall Back Into A Devastating Setting. We're Not Making The Kind Of Progress In Afghanistan That Had Been Promised. And Our Esteem Around The World Has Fallen. I Can't Think Of A Major Country. It's Hard To Think Of A Single Country That Has Greater Respect And Admiration For America Today Than It Did Five Years Ago When Barack Obama Became President. And That's A Very Sad, Unfortunate State Of Affairs.

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

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

I Said Those Things About Gay Rights And Abortion On Opposite Day. I Cannot Believe You Don't Have Opposite Day In North Carolina!

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.

For Those Who Have Come Here Illegally, They Might Have A Transition Time To Allow Them To Set Their Affairs In Order. And Then Go Back Home And Get In Line With Everybody Else. And If They Get In Line And They Apply To Become A Citizen And Get A Green Card, They Will Be Treated Like Everybody Else.

My Wife Drives A Couple Of Cadillacs.

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.

I Respect Senator Mccain A Great Deal And Believe He Has Many - Many Good Ideas And Suggestions That I Would Certainly Want To Avail Myself Of If I Were In A Setting That - That Required The Input Of Other Leaders. Senator Mccain Would Be One Of Those That I'd Want To Hear From.

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

So, For Instance, Let Me Make This Clear: You Know I Signed A Statement. I Will Not Raise Taxes On Anybody. I Don't Want To Raise Taxes On The American People.

We Have To Understand That America Can't Just Surrender And Lose Jobs Year In And Year Out. We Have To Say To Our Friend In China, Look, You Guys Are Playing Aggressively. We Understand It. But This Can't Keep On Going. You Can't Keep On Holding Down The Value Of Your Currency, Stealing Our Intellectual Property, Counterfeiting Our Products, Selling Them Around The World, Even To The United States.

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

My View Is That We Have The Second Amendment Rights To Bear Arms, And In This Country My View Is That We Should Not Add New Legistlation. I Do Not Believe In New Laws Restricting Gun Ownership And Gun Use.

What We Have Said And - And - And With Which I Concur Is That We Should Use Every Diplomatic And Political Vehicle That's Available To Us To Keep Iran From Becoming A Nuclear Capability State.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

So If We Use Birth Control We Don't Need To Be Married?

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.

You Look At That Democratic Debate. I Had To Laugh At What I Saw Barack Obama Do. I Mean, In One Week, He Went From Saying He Is Going To Sit Down For Tea With Our Enemies, But Then He's Going To Bomb Our Allies. I Mean, He's Gone From Jane Fonda To Dr. Strangelove In One Week.

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

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.

When You Look At "obamacare," The Congressional Budget Office Has Said It Will Cost $2,500 A Year More Than Traditional Insurance. So It's Adding To Cost. And As A Matter Of Fact, When The President Ran For Office, He Said That By This Year He Would Have Brought Down The Cost Of Insurance For Each Family By $2,500 A Family. Instead, It's Gone Up By That Amount. So It's Expensive. Expensive Things Hurt Families. So That's One Reason I Don't Want It.

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

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.

I Believe Very Firmly In The Principle Of Free Agency - People Making Their Own Decisions And Doing What They Think Is Right.

There Are Some Who Would Have A Presidential Candidate Describe And Explain His Church's Distinctive Doctrines.

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.

Ronald Reagan Was One Of Our Great Foreign Policy Presidents. He Did Not Come From The Senate. He Did Not Come From The Foreign Policy World. He Was A Governor, But His Resolve, His Clarity Of Purpose, His Intelligence, His Capacity To Deal With Complex Issues And Solve Tough Problems Served Him Extremely Well, And If I Were Elected President, I Hope I Could Rely Upon Those Same Qualities.

Clarity Of Purpose

Growing Our Economy Means Allowing Individuals, And Particularly Those In The Middle Class, To Be Able To Keep More Of Their Money. It Also Means That People In The Middle Class And Modest Incomes To Be Able To Pay For Their Retirement, To Get A Down Payment For A Home, To Send A Child To College.

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.

Wade And Therefore They Return To The People And Their Elected Representatives The Decisions With Regards To This Important Issue.

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

Supreme Court Had Said Feds Should Stay Out Of Abortion.

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.

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

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.

With The Arab Spring, Came A Great Deal Of Hope That There Would Be A Change Towards More Moderation, And Opportunity For Greater Participation On The Part Of Women In Public Life, And In Economic Life In The Middle East.

I Saw The Young Man Over There With Eggs Benedict, With Hollandaise Sauce. And I Was Going To Suggest To You That You Serve Your Eggs With Hollandaise Sauce In Hubcaps. Because There's No Plates Like Chrome For The Hollandaise.

The American Culture Promotes Personal Responsibility, The Dignity Of Work, The Value Of Education, The Merit Of Service, Devotion To A Purpose Greater Than Self, And At The Foundation, The Pre-eminence Of Family.

I Like American Cars. And I Would Do Nothing To Hurt The U.s. Auto Industry.

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

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.

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

Sometimes I Wonder Whether Washington's Liberal Politicians Truly Understand The Greatness That Is America.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

As President, I Will Create 12 Million New Jobs.

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 Nuclear Iran Is A - A Dramatic And - And Devastating Potential Threat To The World And To America. And - And All Our Efforts Should Be Focused On Making That Our First Priority Or Keeping Them From Having That Nuclear Capacity Our First Priority.

The American Servicemen And Women Of The Guard And Reserve Leave Their Jobs, Their Spouses And Their Children To Wear The Uniform That Defends Our Country. This Selfless Commitment Should Be Honored By Businesses Across Massachusetts As We Work To Ensure They Are Treated Fairly While They Balance Their Employment Responsibilities And Obligations To The Armed Services. No Business Should Ever Put The Bottom Line Ahead Of America's Front Line.

Securing The Border Is Priority Number One.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I Think When People Accuse You Of A Crime, You Have Every Reason To Go After Them Pretty Hard.

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