If anyone accuses me of lying, I'll simply say I'm not lying, which is just an extension of the overall lying strategy.

I believe that the faith heritage of this country is actually a very important part of America's culture.

Frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president.

In the political environment that exists today, the opposition research of the Obama campaign is looking for anything they can use to distract from the failure of the president to reignite our economy. And Im simply not enthusiastic about giving them hundreds or thousands of more pages to pick through, distort, and lie about.

Ok to appoint atheists or agnostics-no litmus test of faith.

I've seen a lot of government try to solve problems, and it didn't work. And my view is that the right course for America is to have someone who understands how the economy works who will passionately get America back on track.

We need to have strong allies. Our association and connection with our allies is essential to America's strength. We're the great nation that has allies, 42 allies and friends around the world.
