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

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.

The conservative movement is like a country club based in Washington, D.C.
