The only tactic liberals have is to try to intimidate people into thinking that the Tea Party is racist. The Tea Party is not a racist movement, period! If it were, why would the straw polls keep showing that the black guy is winning? That's a rhetorical question. Let me state it: The black guy keeps winning.

I ran for president in order to be able to try to change Washington D.C. from the inside. Our federal government is broken.

The American dream is under attack because our government has been hijacked by the Liberals in Washington DC.

I am suspending my presidential campaign, because of the continued distractions, the continued hurt caused on me and my family, not because we are not fighters. Not because I'm not a fighter.

It's time to get real, folks. Hope and change ain't working. Hope and change is not a solution. Hope and change is not a job.

All of the major accomplishments that I have made in my career have been in many instances against the odds.

Whether you were talking about Pillsbury, Burger King, Godfather's, the National Restaurant Association, in each one of those situations, I had a daunting problem that I had to solve. And I used the same business principles to approach the problem and, more importantly, solve the problem in every one of the situations.
