We're all human and we all goof. Do things that may be wrong, but do something.

What is the primary purpose of a political leader? To build a majority. If voters care about parking lots, then talk about parking lots.

Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman.' Wouldn't they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism.

If the Soviet empire still existed, I'd be terrified. The fact is, we can afford a fairly ignorant presidency now.

I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.

The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.

Frankly, Governor Romney in his career has created more jobs than the entire Obama cabinet combined, so he could actually talk about it.

A mere forty years ago, beach volleyball was just beginning. No bureaucrat would have invented it, and that's what freedom is all about.

Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it's bold. It's out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it's hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government.

I believe we will elect a new President in 2012.

If you're not brave, you're not going to be free.

I discourage a cult of personality.

The most important social welfare program in America is a job.

Politics and war are remarkably similar situations.

President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck president in American history.

And my point was one I think that you'd agree with, which is there's no room in America for a black racist, a Latino racist, or a white racist, or an Asian racist, or a Native American racist. Now, we're either color blind or we're not color blind.

If the Obama administration is this afraid of Glenn Beck, how do they deal with the Iranians?

Without Jimmy Carter we might not have gotten Ronald Reagan, without Ronald Reagan there would probably still be a Soviet Union.

An energy tax punishes senior citizens, it punishes rural Americans, if you use electricity it punishes you. This bill will increase your cost of living and may kill your job.

My theme is going to be: Together we can win the future. The right policies lead to the right results. And I'm going to argue that President Obama will lose the future because the wrong policies lead to the wrong results.

President Obama has created at least three jobs that I know of - Bob McDonnell, Chris Christie, and Scott Brown.

I think every religious person should have a deep sense of respect for other people's religious documents and religious symbols just as we were deeply opposed to the Taliban destroying the two historic buddhas which they blew up. So I think we ought to all oppose burning the Koran.

Part of why the Tea Party so deeply threatened the elite media is the tea party looked around and suddenly realized, there are more of us than there are of them.

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.

It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.

You have to give the press confrontations. When you give them confrontations, you get attention; when you get attention, you can educate.

I believe we are now in a struggle over whether or not we are going to save America.

The time has come to tell the truth about the corruption of the government employee unions in this country.

The secular elites are so terrified of telling the truth about radical Islam. When you talk about the radical Islamists, we have got to get straight and get serious and talk about it in the right way.

I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual; I'm too abstract; I think too much.

We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility.

Have you heard a single national figure tell you all of the crises of the recent past are not economic, they're cultural?

In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.

We're at the crossroads. Down one road is a European centralized bureaucratic socialist welfare system in which politicians and bureaucrats define the future. Down the other road is a proud, solid, reaffirmation of American exceptionalism.

All unemployment compensation should be tied to a job training requirement. Now the fact is, 99 weeks is an associate degree.

America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization.

And by the way I don't object if people want to attack me, that's their right. All I'm suggesting that it's not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking.

Both sides in Syria are bad. One side is a brutal dictator, and the other includes Islamists and terrorists who are dangerous already and who would be brutal in power if given the chance.

Congress was designed by the Founding Fathers to move slowly, precisely to avoid the sudden panic of a one-week solution that becomes a 20-year mess.

Frankly, I would not have made any difference in Vietnam, but much more is what difference it would have made in me.

I am for deporting all recent unattached illegals. I am for a local citizen panel to consider certification of those who have been here 25 years and have family and community and have been law-abiding and tax-paying.

I believe most evangelicals know that defeating Obama is at heart of our country's future.
