In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.

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.

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.

Bill Bennett really became an idol for me. I listened to him every morning from 6 to 9 for, oh, years.

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.

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

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