I didn't know I was a conservative when it didn't matter to me growing up.

There are people who make things happen. There are people who watch things happen and then there are people who ask well, what in the heck happened?

I'm not a professional politician. I'm a professional problem solver, and I believe we should cut the salaries of senators and congressmen 10 percent until they balance the budget. I call that conservative common sense.

A gold standard is to the moochers and looters in government what sunlight and garlic are to vampires.

Don't blame Wall Street. Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself!

I've never sexually harassed anyone, and yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the National Restaurant Association.

We need a leader, not a reader.
