When you tax capital gains income, you don't help the economy, you hurt the economy, which is why President Kennedy, President Reagan, President Clinton and President Bush all believed we should have a lower rate for capital gains.

I saw the government really using the excuse of a weak economy and a financial crisis to create more government and to push onto the American entrepreneurial society more and more restraints and government activity.

I'd like to think I'm a serious legislator and trying to get things done.

Things are not getting better. They are getting worse. We need to elect Mitt Romney to turn things around.

I told my staff that I'm so boring that I didn't even know I was boring.

There has never been a campaign where there hasn't been sniping from the outside and second-guessing. I hear the same sometimes from the Democratic side in terms of President Obama's campaign, so that's to be expected.

Folks, do you agree with me that we cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama?
