When the world needs someone to do the really big stuff, you need an American.

This is a nation of immigrants. We welcome people coming to this country as immigrants. My dad was born in Mexico of American parents; Ann's dad was born in Wales and is a first-generation American. We welcome legal immigrants into this country.

Like me, the great majority of Americans wish both to preserve the traditional definition of marriage and to oppose bias and intolerance directed towards gays and lesbians.

The multiculturalism movement must be unmasked for the fraud that it is. There are superior cultures, and ours is one of them.

Instead of leading the world by how much we borrow, it's time that we make sure we lead the world in how much we build and create and invest.

I don't support any gun-control legislation - the effort for a new assault-weapons ban, with a ban on semiautomatic weapons, is something I would oppose.

I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people, and that plant - that plant kills people.
