I want the ones that stood up for the Tea Party when the Tea Party was being pilloried by the mainstream media. I like the Bachmanns and the Palins and the Wests and I like the Herman Cains, I like Thaddeus McCotter, I like fighters, and I don't like the poll-tested ones.

I behave in public like I behave in private.

I think some of you have to go through the pain of being rejected, the pain of being attacked on television, and ultimately there are people at home who are rooting for you and are wondering why more people don't defend what they stand up for.

I don't understand if the conservative movement says you can't be gay and conservative, and I'm straight, then I don't think I can abide by that form of conservatism.

I am for a huge, huge tent that espouses conservative principles.

If the social conservatives feel that they have a strong argument on traditional marriage, then feel free to have it.

I'm sorry you leftists, you're not the only people whose motives are pure.
