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

I try and make it to the word exactly what I said four years ago and what I said was that those who've come here illegally should not be given a special pathway, a favored pathway to become permanent residents merely by virtue of having come here illegally. That they should be in line with everybody - they should be given the opportunity to get in line with everybody else but they go to the back of the line.

In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4,000, but health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled. Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before.

I support the work of the NRA, but disagree sometimes.

President Obama attacks success and therefore under President Obama we have less success and I will change that.

It's essential for a president to show strength from the very beginning, to make it very clear what is acceptable and not acceptable.

We have a long-standing tradition in this country to follow the advice of Senator Vandenberg, which is that politics ends at the water's edge.
