America's highest economic need is higher ethical standards -- enforced by strict laws and upheld by responsible business leaders.

America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world, and no one will keep that light from shining.

Let's make sure that there is certainty during uncertain times in our economy.

The financial crisis should not become an excuse to raise taxes, which would only undermine the economic growth required to regain our strength.

...The God I know is one that promotes peace and freedom. But I get great sustenance from my personal relationship. That doesn't make me think I'm a better person than you are, by the way. Because one of the great admonitions in the Good Book is, don't try to take a speck out of your eye if I've got a log in my own.

I think that not criticizing my successor is a statement unto itself, in terms of trying to create an environment where people are able to have a meaningful discussion or debate without trash talk.

I am a passionate person when it comes to freedom.
