| So government acts as a safeguard of our property. |
| I dare say that a majority of the American people think that having a fair hearing on an issue of importance in our relations with Mexico is extremely important to our national interest, as well as theirs. |
| Opposing the free flow of goods or people is a bad idea. |
| Liberals often don't see the problems, and conservatives don't see the promise, of government. |
| My slogan when I ran was that there is no such thing as government money, there is only taxpayer's money, and that cut pretty deep. |
| The unemployment rate is still twice as high for blacks as for whites. |
| I think government has a major role to play in helping us with the pursuit of happiness. |
| In the nineteenth century, slavery was the greatest wrong, and government never stood so tall as when it was redressing that wrong. |
| I extend that to the abortion issue, I extend that to the so-called gay rights issue, I think this is a freedom principle and consistent with the analysis in the economic area as well. |
| I suggest to you that increasing the size of America's economic pie - which can be achieved only if everybody has a seat at the table - is the most important challenge facing our country today. |
| Government is never so noble as when it is addressing wrongs. |
