“I mean, arguing over who mows Mitt Romney’s lawn…In the midst of a crisis, a sovereign debt worldwide crisis, the biggest in the history of the world, and the financial system of the world is about to collapse. We’re about to have another devaluation of…our credit rating. This is serious, and no control in the spending…We’re going to have to get a hand on this…We have to quit worrying over who’s mowing Mitt Romney’s yard.”

Washington D.C.
“Values Voter” summit
“Christ was recognized to be the prince of peace. He was never to be recognized as the promoter of war. And he even said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be the children of God.” He never said blessed are the war makers. It was the peacemakers that we must honor and protect.”

Washington D.C.
“Values Voter” summit
“We are taught in the New Testament about caring for the poor and caring for our families and our neighbors and friends. But never did Christ say, you know, let’s go and lobby Rome to make sure we’re taken care of. It was a personal responsibility for us. Christ was confronted at one time by a prostitute, but he didn’t call for the centurions. He didn’t call for more laws. But he was very direct and thought that stoning was not the solution to the problem of prostitution.”

USA Today Editorial
“When I began my career as a doctor, there was much less government interference in health care, medical costs were affordable, and no one in need of emergency or vital care was ever turned away.
But government involvement changed all this. Managed care and government interference achieved only higher prices and poorer distribution of medical services. Doctors, insurance companies, hospitals and especially patients are all unhappy with the system. Whether in Massachusetts or at the national level, even more government involvement will make things worse. There are no easy answers or silver bullets, but solutions lie in moving toward freedom, not more corporatism or socialism.”

Tampa, FL
CNN & Tea Party Express Debate
“Not quite. I’m a taxpayer there. My taxes have gone up. Our taxes have doubled since he’s (Rick Perry) been in office. Our spending has gone up double. Our debt has gone up nearly triple. So, no. And 170,000 of the jobs were government jobs. So I would put a little damper on this, but I don’t want to offend the governor, because he might raise my taxes or something.”

“1913 wasn’t a very good year. 1913 gave us the income tax, the 16th amendment and the IRS.”
“I will always vote what I have promised, and always vote the Constitution, as well as I will not vote for one single penny that isn’t paid for, because debt is the monster, debt is what’s going to eat us up and that is why our economy is on the brink.”
“You don’t have freedom because you are a hyphenated American; you have freedom because you are an individual, and that should be protected.”
