I don't think it's government's job to find health care for people. I think it's the individual's job to find health care.

I've spent my whole life fighting for free-market principles and the Constitution. That's not going to change.

What is deemed "unlikeable" in Washington is actually standing up to Washington and saying no, saying "The emperor has no clothes," saying "We made promises to the people who elected us; let's do that."

We're seeing so many people come around and say, "Listen, we want a real conservative. We don't want a Washington dealmaker who will support Democrats and cut deals to grow government and give into the cronyism and corporate welfare."

The media ought to be just giving a fair shake to everybody.

It is true that I voted against the National Defense Authorization Act, because when I campaigned in Texas I told voters in Texas that I would oppose the federal government having the authority to detain U.S. citizens permanently with no due process. I have repeatedly supported an effort to take that out of that bill, and I honored that campaign commitment.

A path to citizenship for those who are here illegally in my view is unfair to those waiting sometimes a decades in line to come here.
