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

I have good voice inflection, that's why I'm good on radio. But on TV, I look too big because I move my hands around a lot.

I don't think Obama's a socialist or evil, I just think he's wrong and I disagree with him, he's a leftist, that's what they are in France and in Great Britain and in Canada.

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.

Conservatism is not about the party, because the party is merely the shell. It is the inside - it's the filling that really means something.

As I've been acting since I was young it's taught me to give a good speech, and, though I say so myself, I did it pretty well.

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