 Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didn't: Go stick your head in the mud. |
| I don't want to spend the rest of my life in politics. When I'm finished with my term as governor, I'm going back to the life that's waiting for me in the private sector. |
| Wrestling is ballet with violence. |
| I don't believe we need the government's help as much as some think we do. That belief sets me apart from the Democrats, since their way of dealing with everything is to tax and spend. |
| I don't think I would want the responsibility for enforcing the death penalties. There's always the inevitable question of whether someone you gave the order to execute might truly have been innocent. |
| If I could be reincarnated as a fabric, I would come back as a 38 double-D bra. |
| All of us should have free choice when it comes to patriotic displays... a government wisely acting within its bounds will earn loyalty and respect from its citizens. A government dare not demand the same. |
| There are a lot of good causes out there, but they can't possibly all be served by government. |
| Industrial hemp is a very useful plant. I challenged the attorney general to get rid of the criminal stigma associated with hemp so we can look at it in terms of how it might be useful. |
| If you were to come to Minnesota, I could have you locked up like that. That's power. |
| There is much more to being a patriot and a citizen than reciting the pledge or raising a flag. |
| I asked Dalai Lama the most important question that I think you could ask - if he had ever seen Caddyshack. |
| Politics is not my life. I have a career in radio and another career in film. |
| I'm against the draft. I believe we should have a professional military; it might be smaller, but it would be more effective. |
| Government works less efficiently when it begins to grow out of control and takes on more and more of the responsibilities that belong to the citizens. |
| When the Constitution gave us the right to bear arms, it also made us responsible for using them properly. It's not fair of us as citizens to lean more heavily on one side of that equation than on the other. |
| You can't legislate morality. |
| Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business. |
| I believe patriotism comes from the heart. Patriotism is voluntary. It is a feeling of loyalty and allegiance that is the result of knowledge and belief. |
| As governor, there isn't a lot I can do beyond that to crack down on crime. Law enforcement is really a local issue. It's the cops' job to tighten down on criminals. |
