We think you can get a balanced budget and you can get a tax cut, ... We think both can be done this year, and we're trying to find a way to make sure that we have every opportunity to both balance the budget with smaller government, with reforms, and to have tax cuts for the American people.
We're not in a values fight now but over whether the system is working. The issue is delivery.
We owe the American people the right to know what happened. They have the right to know whether or not the American government was undermined by the Chinese.
We shouldn't go into one big liberal fantasy that only if we had the right bureaucracy of non-smoking with the right pamphlet, every 13-year-old in America would be convinced.
This will be the first time in 70 years that Republicans kept control of the House for a third term, ... We will gain seats this evening as the evening goes on.
Traditional politics is dominated by and defended by a collection of elites who are deeply opposed to the solutions America needs to renew its civilization and ensure its economic and national security interests. These elites want a dramatically different world from the values and aspirations of most Americans.

It's a very expensive proposition.
We are mutually concerned about getting the peace process to continue to move forward, ... We also share a belief that prosperity is the key to long-term peace, and want to create more jobs in the Palestinian Authority's region.
The degree to which the conservative movement is dissatisfied is very real. Conservatism is at its biggest crossroads since Reagan was nominated in 1980.
There is a very big difference in where the two parties will take America, ... I sometimes get distressed by our friends in the media because they try to reduce everything to gossip, scandal-mongering and cynicism that I think is profoundly false for this country's future. There is an enormous difference in the two parties. We would go two very different places.
Unless the commission has a dramatically different agenda and a dramatically different approach than the same tired, old, big-government liberalism, it'll be like the commissions we've had for 30 years.
