It is wrong to believe that Hispanics are Democrats. Hispanics are traditionally and historically conservative, not just socially conservative, but fiscally conservative.

I resent Washington telling states, or the residents of those states, what to do and what to think.

I supported the stimulus package.

I came into office to do what was correct, not to see what was politically expedient to get re-elected.

The GOP can't even envision winning the White House if we lose a significant percentage of the Hispanic vote.

Bilingualism opens doors and provides opportunity to our children so they can shine and become successful in a labor market that is increasingly competitive and globalized.

I watched Reagan turn around the country by lowering taxes and controlling spending, and I'm applying the same principles.
