I have a great sensitivity to kids. I have a great sensitivity to the people that fall between the cracks.

We're going to restructure the state government into a government that's responsive to the needs of New York state taxpayers.

I just think my children and your children would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family, and I don't want them brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option. It isn't.

I see a New York where there is no barrier to the God-given potential of every New Yorker. I see a New York where everyone who wants a good job can find one. I see a New York where the people can believe in a grounded government again.

I have a great sensitivity to kids. I have a great sensitivity to the people that fall between the cracks.

I want everyone in the Republican party who opposed me to know this: you are welcome to join this people's crusade. Come aboard. You are both welcome and needed. If we unite, we'll win - and we'll rebuild New York.

Don't misquote me as wanting to hurt homosexual people in any way. That would be a dastardly lie.
