party thinking government
I think we have a Tea Party mandate, and that Tea Party mandate is for good-government type of things, things like term limits, things like a balanced budget amendment, things like read the bills for goodness sakes, things like that maybe Congress should only pass legislation that they apply to themselves as well.
saving curious claims
It's curious that only in Washington can you spend $2 billion and claim that you're saving money.
years balance stage
Well, let's be clear I'm the only one on the stage who actually has a five-year budget that balances.
running thinking arrogance
I think there is some overreach in the sense that the EPA now says: if Congress doesn't pass greenhouse emissions regulations or testing, we'll simply do it on our own. I think that's an arrogance of a regulatory body run amok.
war thinking ifs
This whole sort of 'war on women' sort of thing, I'm scratching my head because if there was a war on women, I think they won.
government african-american impossible
It is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them.
gun want
I don't want my marriage or my guns registered in Washington.
decision grandfather boards
In 1997, I, along with 200 other young ophthalmologists formed the National Board of Ophthalmology to protest the American Board of Ophthalmology's decision to grandfather in the older ophthalmologists and not require them to recertify.
thinking government two
I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator.
racism favors institutional-racism
I'm in favor of everything with regards to ending institutional racism.
party winning bigger
You don't win as a party unless you become a bigger party.
america weapons terrorist
I've been accused of wanting to allow terrorists to have weapons to attack America.
running thinking conservative
I think really that you shouldn't run as a conservative if you're not.
country winning suits
The problem is that in our country, they make it almost impossible for politicians to win anything. In England it's easier to win a libel suit.
