The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.
We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility.
I’m not a natural leader. I’m too intellectual I’m too abstract I think too much.
So I’d be quite happy to have a three-hour Lincoln-Douglas-style debate with Barack Obama. I’d let him use a teleprompter. I’ll just rely on knowledge. We’ll do fine.
In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.
President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck president in American history.
It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.
Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it’s bold. It’s out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it’s hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government.
My theme is going to be: Together we can win the future. The right policies lead to the right results. And I’m going to argue that President Obama will lose the future because the wrong policies lead to the wrong results.
We’re at the crossroads. Down one road is a European centralized bureaucratic socialist welfare system in which politicians and bureaucrats define the future. Down the other road is a proud, solid, reaffirmation of American exceptionalism.
