I think that President Obama is beginning to realize that a lot of his plans have backfired.

Before I got into politics, I wanted to be a missionary to people in the Middle East. I thought it would be better to speak with them in their own language.

I'd like to do policy and I'd like to do philosophy, I'd like to be able to get into the depth, into the meat of the argument - that's the kind of stuff I want to do.

In politics almost all of us are nerds, so that's just a given... but we're cool nerds.

I listened to Bill Bennett and tons of other talk show hosts who talked about that and other policies and started branching out and caring about other issues in regards to politics.

The president hasn't come after me yet, but we've had other people come after me!

I want the American people to understand that conservatism... is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights.
