I'm looking forward to the day when America will mature to the point that we are a color-blind society. I'm not so sure that in politics that will ever be reality, because politics has a way of separating us based on skin color.

I think that anybody that stays in school, gets good grades, pays the price, I think we are wealthy enough in the public and the private sector in America to make sure that every child in America that wants to continue their education, they should be able to do that.

Individual responsibility, hard work, paying attention in school, faith, family all these things are important.

A Black man voting for the Republicans makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.

To say America can have strong leadership without strong character is to say we can get water without the wet.

Too many Americans live by Republican principles of faith, family, hope and opportunity, but vote for Democrats out of sheer habit.

Americans are hungry for a discussion on policy solutions to the problems in their communities that work.
