define exit money somehow strategic wasting
If you can't define a winning exit strategy for the American people, where we somehow come out ahead, then we're wasting our money, and we're wasting our strategic resources.

I'm surprised that we've gotten to a point where we don't put our country first and put our party first.

But economic recovery must be earned. And it will be earned by entrepreneurs and it will be earned by small businesses.

I’m a very spiritual person and proud of my Mormon roots,
country party government
I was criticized at some level within the Republican Party by those who say government should not be in the economic development business at all. My response is that the only country I know that doesn't have an economic development plan is Papa New Guinea.
country differences president
I respect the president. He and I have a difference of opinion on how to help the country we both love. But the question each of us wants the voters to answer is who will be the better president, not who is the better American.
religious pursuit-of-happiness race
People truly reaching across boundaries - be they religious or race, political or geographic. A state that is sincerely civil and respectful of each individual's pathway toward life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be our goal.
