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.

My mother taught me everything I know; how to speak properly, posture, enunciation.

My dad thinks Obama is a socialist and all these extreme views.

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

I believe that this is the key, the principle itself is the key to conservatism. Because in many ways if you do not have a principled base you do not have policy and if you do not have policy in many ways you do not have an ideology.

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

I got into politics when I was eight years old.
