There are a number of things that sound good, but frankly, we just can't afford them. And Obamacare doesn't sound good and it's not affordable.

Bottom line is President Obama has said that it is a top priority of the United States of America to ensure that Iran never achieves a nuclear.

I don't like to have the federal government start pushing its weight deeper and deeper into our schools. Let the states and localities do that.

Let me tell you, the heart of my tax proposal: I will not raise taxes on the American people. I will not raise taxes on middle-income Americans.

Ronald Reagan was a president of strength. His philosophy was a philosophy of strength - a strong military, a strong economy and strong families.

Reforming the way the state works with businesses and providing incentives for employers will help preserve and create new jobs in Massachusetts.

Every piece of legislation which came to my desk in the coming years as the governor, I came down on the side of preserving the sanctity of life.

When there are elections, people tend to vote for peace. They don't vote for war. So Americans want to promote those principles around the world.

We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts. I support them. I won't chip away at them. I believe they help protect us and provide for our safety.

I don't want to see a president of the United States saying things which change the character of the generations of Americans that are following.

I care about America. I care about the people that can't find jobs. I care about my 20 grandkids and what kind of America they are going to have.

No person I have ever met, not even the most righteous or pure of heart, has gone without those times when faith recedes in the busy-ness of life.

Republicans spent too much money, borrowed too much money, earmarked too much. In this race, I'm the only guy who hasn't spent time in Washington.

I think we can all agree this is a very important election [2016]. We don't want to see Hillary Clinton become the president of the United States.

I love practical jokes and humor. That there's frankly no joke that I don't think is funny. I love practical jokes, but I don't like being scared.

I do recognize and I feel very comfortable with people taking a good look at how I've lived my life, and obviously my faith is a big part of that.

China has to understand America wants to trade with them. We want a world that's stable. We like free enterprise, but you got to play by the rules.

I'm very much engaged in the political battles, but I'm doing it as a supporter of Republicans out of conservatism rather than an active candidate.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are two peas in the same pod, and the American people have tasted that, and said, 'Look, that's not a good taste.'

I talk with Gary [Johnson] every other day, we're on different coasts usually but we keep in touch and - yeah, no I do not agree with that release.

President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and their team have failed the American people, and that is why their majority will soon be out the door.

It was absolutely critical to renew the Bush tax cuts. Letting them expire would result in a massive tax increase that would retard economic growth.

I do not believe in people owning guns. Guns should be owned only by the police and military. I am going to do everything I can to disarm this state.

We have made progress from where we were when President Obama took office, when the economy - our economy had just contracted almost by nine percent.

Third, we will make trade work for America by forging new trade agreements. And when nations cheat in trade, there will be unmistakable consequences.

We need a complete ban on soft money, which is sort of an enveloping problem, and a ceiling on the amount of money that can be spent on a given race.

What do you do if youre in a room with Muammar Qaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and John Sununu, and you have a gun with only two bullets? Shoot Sununu twice.

President Obama trusts in the wisdom of government. I put my trust in the ingenuity and creativity and commitment to hard work of the American people.

Even though I love solar and love wind, like most people do, I like the renewable sources, they alone are not going to get America energy independent.

Central to America's rise to global leadership is our Judeo-Christian tradition with the vision of the goodness and possibilities of every human life.

An earthquake strikes Haiti, and care packages from America are among the first to arrive - and not far behind are former Presidents Clinton and Bush.

I pray. Prayer is a time to connect with the divine, but also time, I'm sure, to concentrate one's thoughts, to meditate, and to imagine what might be.

We will strengthen our security by building missile defense, restoring our military might, and standing by and strengthening our intelligence officers.

I don't know any nation on Earth that succeeded in creating a strong middle class with rising wages based on building a stronger and bigger government.

Trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, trickle-down misogyny, all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of America.

Too many of my Senate colleagues overdid it. They stayed on too long - napping through committee hearings when they should have packed up and gone home.

I want to invest in research. Research is great. Providing funding to universities and think tanks is great. But investing in companies? Absolutely not.

Let me put it very plainly, if we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished.

In every stump speech I give, I speak about the fact that people who dream and achieve enormous success do not make us poorer - they make us better off.

We are very grateful for what the Ontario provincial government is doing, and for cooperation from provincial and local police forces all across Canada.

I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love.

We should have communicated to Iran that we are prepared, that we are considering military options. They're not just on the table, they are in our hands.

I don't support any gun-control legislation - the effort for a new assault-weapons ban, with a ban on semiautomatic weapons, is something I would oppose.

I don't mind that people have questions and would look for someone to respond to their questions, particularly if their faith is not terribly well-known.

It strikes me as odd that the free exercise of religious faith is sometimes treated as a problem, something America is stuck with instead of blessed with.

Iran is the greatest national security threat America faces. Russia does continue to battle us in the U.N. time and time again. I have clear eyes on this.

[on L. Ron Hubbard] I'm not in favor of his religion by any means. But he wrote a book called 'Battlefield Earth' that was a very fun science-fiction book.

So we are disappointed that some of our closest allies, including Canada, have not agreed with us on the urgent need for this military action against Iraq.

Dependency is death to initiative, to risk-taking and opportunity. It's time to stop the spread of government dependency and fight it like the poison it is.

It's fashionable in some circles to be pessimistic about America, about conservative solutions, about the Republican Party. I utterly reject that pessimism.
