I don't want to spend the rest of my life in politics. When I'm finished with my term as governor, I'm going back to the life that's waiting for me in the private sector.
Okay, fluoride in the water to help our teeth. Well, shouldn't that be the job of your mom and dad? To teach you how to brush your teeth and use mouth wash? What do we need the government to do it for? Clearly, what a scam. Fluoride in the water.
What do we have for veterans? Government-run health care. I understand that. Congressmen and senators... they get five choices of government-run health care. Why should a congressman and senator get anything more than a regular citizen does? Why are they privileged and the rest of us aren't?
After Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, I was heartened to see him issue an Open Government Initiative on his first full day in office.
There are a lot of good causes out there, but they can't possibly all be served by government.
Let's face it: WikiLeaks exists because the mainstream media haven't done their job.
Let's remember, the CIA's job is to go out and create wars.
My four years as governor, I never met with a lobbyist once, never. Not one lobbyist got in my office.
Politics is not my life. I have a career in radio and another career in film.
If I could be reincarnated as a fabric, I would come back as a 38 double-D bra.
Love is by far bigger than the government can ever be.
I don't support abortion. I could never participate in one. But I think it would be a mistake to make them illegal again.
Government is at its worst when you have apathy from its citizens.
There are lots of people out there who think they know the truth about God and religion, but does anybody really know for sure? That's why the founding fathers built freedom of religious belief into the structure of this nation, so that everybody could make up their minds for themselves.
