I was opposed to the U.S. involvement in Libya from the very start. President Obama has never made a compelling national security case on Libya.
After the $700 billion bailout, the trillion-dollar stimulus, and the massive budget bill with over 9,000 earmarks, many of you implored Washington to please stop spending money we don't have. But, instead of cutting, we saw an unprecedented explosion of government spending and debt, unlike anything we have seen in the history of our country.
The biased left-wing media does what it wants. That's not going to define me or hamper me.
If you ask people do you think that government should spend less money than what it takes in, most people agree with that.
The one thing you can't buy, find, or create is time.
I've given birth to five babies and I breastfed every single one of these babies. To think that government has to go out and buy my breast pump for my babies. You wanna talk about the nanny state? I think we just got the new definition of a nanny.
When I was in Minnesota serving in the state Senate and in Washington, D.C., I did everything I could to defeat cap and trade. I didn't work to implement cap and trade.
Carbon dioxide is natural, it is not harmful, it is a part of Earth's lifecycle. And yet we're being told that we have to reduce this natural substance, reduce the American standard of living, to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is naturally occurring in Earth.
I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us 'having a revolution every now and then is a good thing,' and the people—we the people—are going to have to fight back hard if we're not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States.
Both Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich supported the Wall Street bailout.
A lot of families deal with messy, inconvenient situations. Because that's life. Life doesn't turn out and it's not perfect. My life hasn't been perfect but it's what I'm going to make out of it.
Hey, I took karate when I was 17 years old; I am dangerous.
I have a very high opinion of Steve King and his ability, so I would encourage him to consider any position for higher office.
I pledge to you I'm not a talker. I'm a doer.
