I used to gamble when I was young. I’m wiser now.

I wasn’t political in 1984, but I did have a friend in Winnemucca who was a ‘Southern Democrat.’ He was raised in Georgia, and when he moved to Nevada, he was still a Democrat, and...

You know, I am mainstream America, and it really doesn’t matter what party you’re in. When you call your children and you say ‘How are you?’ – and what you are really asking is, ‘Do...

I will stand strong to defend people even if I don’t agree with them.

I’m a Christian, and I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives and that He can intercede in all kinds of situations, and we need to have...

I still have a great deal of faith in our political system and a great deal of faith in the American people and voter.

I’ve never been a Sunday-only kind of Christian.

President Obama and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi represent what mainstream America is rejecting about Washington, D.C. And that is this out of touch with the people.

I’m conservative, and people know where I stand. They can trust me to do what I say I’m going to do. I’m predictable.

If we can take Harry Reid out, we can take our country back. I’m not here to preach to the choir. I’m here to organize the army.

There is a plan and a purpose, a value to every life, no matter what its location, age, gender or disability.

The premise of my whole campaign has been not that people need to believe what I say to them, but they need to look at what I have done. And what I have done in...

I’m pro-responsible choice. There is choice to abstain, choice to do contraception. There are all kind of good choices.

The tenet of the separation of church and state is an unconstitutional doctrine.

You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job, but it doesn’t pay as much. And so, that’s what’s happened to...

The Republicans have lost their standards; they’ve lost their principles… Really, that’s why the machine in the Republican Party is fighting against me… They have never really gone along with lower taxes and less government.

Certainly, the job of a U.S. senator is to create a climate conducive to creating jobs, which is lower taxes and less government regulation. What Harry Reid has been doing is putting forward those policies...

We need to diversify our economy, and the energy industry would be a great place to begin that diversification.

And that’s really what’s happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We’re supposed to...

The Tea Party movement is we the people who have been taxed enough already. I think that folks forget that this is not an organized effort; it is not an organized protest. What this is...

I feel that the Second Amendment is the right to keep and bear arms for our citizenry. This not for someone who’s in the military. This is not for law enforcement. This is for us....

They keep extending these unemployment benefits to the point where people are afraid to go out and get a job, because the job doesn’t pay as much as the unemployment benefit does.

People have always said – those words, ‘too conservative,’ is fairly relative. I’m sure that they probably said that about Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.

We need to prioritize those expenditures of the federal government in A, B and C priorities… And I believe that on the C priority list are things like the Departments of Education and Energy, and...

What we need is to make our senior citizens feel secure once more with their own Social Security and Medicare. But going forward, we need to personalize that program in a way that the government...

You know, I’m a Christian and I believe that God has a plan and a purpose for each one of our lives and that he can intercede in all kinds of situations and we need...

The nation is arming. What are they arming for if it isn’t that they are so distrustful of their government? They’re afraid they’ll have to fight for their liberty in more Second Amendment kinds of...

And truly, when you look at the Constitution and our founding fathers and their writings, the things that made this country great, you might draw those conclusions: That they were conservative. They were fiscally conservative...

I knew that if we were going to actually defeat Harry Reid, we had to have a candidate who would offer a sharp policy contrast. Someone who would not just pay lip service to limited...

Our Founders warned against this. They said don’t… that your liberty is only as secure as the people are. Because once they, um, get the ability to vote themselves entitlements from the largesse of the...

And we know that once we have a majority that are dependent upon the government, we will lose our freedom; it says we go into bondage. That’s the next stage.

I think that’s what activates the Tea Party Movement. What they see is the government interfering with their lives and with the inheritance of their children. Are we going to pass down liberty or deficits?...

You know, this is a war of ideology, a war of thoughts and of faith. And we need people to really stand for faith and trust, not hope and change.

I support voluntary personal retirement accounts for Social Security. It should be people’s free choice.

I think that, you know, when we start talking about the Tea Party, people want to marginalize that into some kind of organization or party, but it really isn’t.

I’m pro responsible choice. You know, there is choice to abstain, choice to do contraception. There are all kinds of good choices.
