If I had been told to get out of the street as a teenager, there would have been a distinct possibility that I might have smarted off. But, I wouldn’t have expected to be shot.

I think that most manufacturing and mining should be under the purview of state authorities.

You shouldn't have one opinion when you're running and another when you're president.

I think we have a Tea Party mandate, and that Tea Party mandate is for good-government type of things, things like term limits, things like a balanced budget amendment, things like read the bills for goodness sakes, things like that maybe Congress should only pass legislation that they apply to themselves as well.

We should not have the U.S. government buying stock in American industries - the financial industry or any other industry.

What gets lost is that the Republican Party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights.
