I’m not involved in light, frivolous matters. I’m not involved in fringe or side issues. I’m involved in serious issues.

I come from a modest background. I put myself through college and law school and a postdoctorate program in tax law.

A man can do a television interview and roll out of bed 15 minutes before; it’s just not the same for a woman. A woman has to pay attention to her hair, makeup, clothing, and...

Where do we say that a cell became a blade of grass, which became a starfish, which became a cat, which became a donkey, which became a human being? There’s a real lack of evidence...

I thought if anyone need a leg up, it was our foster children. So, I started getting involved in education reform, and that was back in 1998. And as a result of all the reform...

Hey, I took karate when I was 17 years old; I am dangerous.

It isn’t that I was born thinking I had to be president. I’m getting a lot of encouragement to run from people across the country. I don’t believe this is a rash decision.

Morals are built on religious faith. Virtue is built on morality and influences a culture.

During my first term in Congress, I signed a pledge that I will take no more earmarks and I’ve been faithful to that pledge.

When you are running for the presidency of the United States, you have to expect that you are going to have attacks by all sides.

Small-business people do not want to have more than 50 employees, because that’s when all the regulatory burden of Obamacare kicks in.

I come here as one of you – an Iowan!

I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America? I think people would be – would love to...

Literally, if we took away the minimum wage – if conceivably it was gone – we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level.

If there was one word on a motivation or world view, that one word would be ‘liberty.’ That’s what inspires me and motivates me more than anything – just the concept of freedom, liberty, what...

I always worked very hard against the unconstitutional individual mandate in health care. I didn’t praise it.

Without a doubt, absolutely, a woman will be a president, and probably sooner rather than later. I am excited about that, and if what I did serves as a steppingstone for another woman down the...

The biased left-wing media does what it wants. That’s not going to define me or hamper me.

You will never see President Bachmann step one toe out of the United States and apologize for this country.

I’m not motivated by vanity, glory or the quest for power.

A normal way that the American free market system has worked is that we have a process of unwinding. It’s called bankruptcy. It doesn’t mean, necessarily, that the industry is eclipsed or that it’s gone....

I don’t have anything against Jimmy Fallon. I love him; he’s a kick.

I think it’s important that people know what raising the debt ceiling is. It’s Congress giving permission to the federal government to borrow more money that we don’t have, and we borrow it for the...

If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and...

People were floored when they saw that the underwear bomber, after less than 50 minutes of interrogation, was given the rights, privileges, and immunities of an American citizen under the Constitution.

I made a decision when I ran for president that I wouldn’t whine about my coverage in the media, and I never did.

I think that it’s important that the American people know that Barack Obama didn’t have a mild association with Bill Ayers, he had a very strong association with Bill Ayers. Bill Ayers is not someone...

You can’t take money from the taxpayers out of the treasury to give it to pay off your political donors. That’s corruption to do that.

The Republican Party is extremely pro-women.

My husband and I had five biological children but we also have been raising 23 foster children.

My parents were divorced when I was a young teenager, and I was raised by a single mother after that. So, I understand the difficulties that families have. I understand single parenting.

I don’t need government to be successful.

The Minnesota Republican hierarchy didn’t want me to run against their incumbent in 2000; they didn’t know who I was. And once many party bigwigs did get to know me, they weren’t sure that I...

When it comes to personnel issues, I act professionally and respectful of former employees. I just assume that’s a two-way street. It’s disappointing when it’s not.

We need a strong, bold constitutional conservative who won’t back down and who will fight for the values we believe in. That’s what we need for our nominee, whether it is me or whether it...

I think people recognize I’m very sincere in what I say.

It would be fun to have someone in the White House who has worked in the private sector… and someone who understands that wealth creation is a good thing and they want more of it....

John Quincy Adams most certainly was a part of the Revolutionary War era. He was a young boy, but he was actively involved.

I do support a constitutional amendment on marriage between a man and a woman, but I would not be going into the states to overturn their state law.

Never in the history of the United States have we cut back on troops when we’ve been at war.

We must never forget what government is not. Government is not a philanthropic organization. Government is not the family. And government certainly is not the church.

I have a very high opinion of Steve King and his ability, so I would encourage him to consider any position for higher office.

What I don’t like is judges legislating from the bench. And as president of the United States, I will appoint justices who uphold the Constitution and who don’t see themselves as a super legislature.

What I want to do is to make sure that we fully repeal Obamacare. This will be one of the largest spending initiatives we will ever see in our country. And also, it will take...

We’re running out of rich people in this country.

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.

The law limits anyone from serving as president of the United States for more than eight years. And in my opinion – well, eight years is also long enough for an individual to serve as...

My future is full – it is limitless – and my passions for America will remain.

If we want to kill Obamacare and we want to end socialized medicine, it must be done in the next election!

The American people’s vote can’t be bought.
