I like those fancy raincoats you bought. Really sprung for the big bucks.

I do not favor same-sex marriage. I oppose same-sex marriage, and that has been my view. But, but if people are looking for someone who will discriminate against gays or will in any way try and suggest that people that have different sexual orientation don't have full rights in this country, they won't find that in me.

Rick, I’ll tell you what - ten thousand bucks? Ten thousand dollar bet?

Obama says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people.

And a special thank you to the citizens of Massachusetts: You are paying all the taxes, creating all the jobs, raising all the children. This government is yours. Thank you for letting me serve you. I love this job.

I'm not in favor of privatizing Social Security or making cuts.

No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate, they know that this is the place that we were born and raised.
