If we don't like what the Republicans do we need to get in there and change it.

I got all the respect in the world for the front-runners in this race but ask yourself: If we replace a Democratic insider with a Republican insider you think we're really going to change Washington D.C.? You don't have to settle for Washington and Wall Street insiders who supported the Wall Street bailout and the Obamacare individual mandate.

We talked about many issues like welfare is it the way of life or hand up? Talked about size of government how much should it tax families and small businesses? And when we left that lunch we got in the car and I looked over at Chuck and said 'I'll be damned. we're Republicans.'

I used to work for a management consulting company so I dressed differently - business casual probably a lot of things from Banana Republic. My wardrobe now is definitely more expensive but I always dress for the occasion.

I was criticized at some level within the Republican Party by those who say government should not be in the economic development business at all. My response is that the only country I know that doesn't have an economic development plan is Papa New Guinea.

The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business and yet we did.

I realize that the majority of people in the entertainment business happen to be Democrats. I have no problem with that. And they should have no problem with the fact that I'm a Republican.

I think in politics in Congress you often do things that are Republican or you do things because you're a Democrat. Sometimes that's good obviously and sometimes that's obviously bad. But in the news business there's no such thing as Republican or Democratic news. News is news.

I don't have more money. I won't have more money than any of the candidates even the Republican candidates. We know that already. But we are building this campaign team like I would build a business. And that is we are building it so far with no debt.

We as conservative intellectuals should not be in the business of making excuses for bad parliamentary decisions by Republican leaders in Congress.
