I think people are confused about what the Tea Party is. I mean, they were a broad cross-section of Americans who came together concerned about our debt and our spending. And they're interested in constitutional, limited government. And so they're not one group of people. They're thousands of small groups all over the country.

The Heritage Foundation is the premier think tank, research organization. The premier idea group for the conservative movement.

I believed the only thing that could turn around this government spending and mounting debt would be if the people rose up.

I have no plans to run for president.

Ideas are more powerful than people.

I don't even like playing a contentious role.

Democrats have chosen not to defend the Marine Corps, but to pander to anti-war protesters and Berkeley officials that are actively trying to impede military recruitment.
