One of the most overused phrases in political commentary is that someone is running a 'negative' campaign filled with 'attack' ads.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Conscientious conservatism includes responding to the needs and struggles of Americans with a responsible and efficient government and incorporating outside organizations that want to invest in the American people.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Republicans need to define and present specific policies on how to eradicate poverty, help every child achieve a quality education, and lower the cost of increasing health premiums.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Republicans can win if they adopt a message and promote policies of conscientious conservatism where they lay out a vision of how to solve our nation's problems, while at the same time push for a message of responsible and efficient government that focuses on accountability and results.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
What hurts the GOP is when we have leaders placing the blame on other leaders within the party.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
If Beyonce and Jay-Z had been born and raised in Cuba, they would have merely survived, with no opportunity to realize their aspirations. Only in a land that treasures liberty and the pursuit of happiness can such dreams become a reality.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Cuba is a nation stuck in time, and the regime's complete control of businesses, the press and the Internet has kept the Cuban people from advancing and achieving their dreams.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Part of me believes that Beyonce and Jay-Z were naive when they chose to celebrate their five-year wedding anniversary in Cuba. However, as the daughter of a former political prisoner in Cuba, I would argue that they should have known better than to travel to the island and support its repressive regime.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Lower standards tell students that they don't need to work hard and leave more high school students unprepared for college and the workplace.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
If the American people - pro-choice and pro-life - cannot agree with the basic concept that the life of a baby born alive following a botched abortion should be protected, then when do the rights of these babies begin?
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
A number of states are starting to strengthen their anti-abortion laws because the more we learn of abortion tactics the harder it is for Americans to support these inhumane procedures.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
If President Obama were to enroll in an American government class, the professor would mark him absent on most days. In the first 100 days of his second term, the president has failed to show up to class, take notes and complete the daunting task of rising to the challenges facing him.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
In the end, the responsibility of government abuse lies with the president.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
I remember being one of those women who never imagined I would get married and have children. You ask any of my high school friends, and I would have been voted in the class to be the least likely to get married or have children.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
I am a perfect case study for the transition from no maternal instinct to the love of motherhood.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Of course, deciding whether or not to have children is a personal decision, but I would encourage couples to stay open to the idea that having a child or adopting provides both personal and societal benefits.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Even setting aside her checkered record in the Senate and the State Department, it is Mrs. Clinton's flagrant contradictions on women's issues that expose her true character.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
The tentacles of Islamic State are far-reaching, and the restrained and tepid international response that Mr. Obama has pursued will not eliminate this terrorist organization.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
The king of branding, Mr. Trump performs best when he is on the defense.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Mrs. Clinton is the embodiment of a corrupt establishment owned by special interests, having personally enriched herself by giving closed-door speeches to Wall Street firms and the big banks.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Mr. Trump has tapped into the frustrations of many Americans who feel the effects of a dismal economy and believe the political system is rigged and owned by the establishment.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
For my family, belief in God and in the resurrection of Jesus Christ brings such hope and promise to our lives. It strengthens our family and our marriage as we focus on Christ as our example of pure love, compassion and tolerance towards others. This positive message is one that helps us become better people each day.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
While childless couples are constantly asked, 'Why they are not having children,' my husband and I are bombarded with a different set of questions: 'Why would you have so many?' or 'Are you done having children?'
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Republicans want less taxes so we can create jobs; however, we cannot win by solely focusing on an economic message of lower taxes and smaller government.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
On the IRS website, they claim to be one of the world's most efficient tax administrators. The IRS officials might know how to collect taxes, but surely know how to misspend the funds.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Employing a low-key, Midwestern charisma, Mike Pence proved he knows how to win over an audience.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
A campaign adviser can change the outside appearance of the candidate, but the ideology and personality of the candidate remains the same.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Faith is a gift. Some feel like they were never blessed with it, others just casually let it fall away.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Legal immigrants deserve respect for following the laws of our nation and completing the process. This is not an extreme concept. It is a matter of simply protecting our nation's sovereignty and knowing who is coming into our nation.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
One 'I am woman/Hear me roar' speech may play well with her allies in the media, but women need to look beyond her rhetoric and the snazzy ads. If they do, they'll quickly realize that the Hillary Clinton who bashed women and called them bimbos in the 1990s is the real Hillary Clinton running for the White House in 2016.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Despite his critics, Rubio has skillfully managed the expectations of many conservatives and effectively made his case for immigration reform, while working with other members to continuously improve the legislation.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Roe v. Wade used raw judicial power to overturn the democratically passed laws in every state in the country and remove state restrictions on abortion.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Thousands of children entering the country illegally have become the face of the immigration crisis in the U.S.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Christians and religious individuals are quickly demonized and not tolerated by the dogmatic left if their views differ.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
More and more job fields require some form of higher education, and the pressure is on for schools to adequately prepare our students to compete both nationally and globally and help drive economic growth.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Is Trump correct that we should stop the flow of illegal immigrants? Yes, but again, words matter, and there is a way to engage voters on this issue without creating fear and insulting many hard-working Hispanics who love this country.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
I know we can all remember the days of sitting in algebra class asking ourselves, 'why will I need algebra or chemistry in the future?' The answer was and still remains that advanced math and science classes help high school students develop their analytical and cognitive skills and better prepare them to compete in college and the workplace.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
What makes America's election system unique is the fact that even when elections are close, we find a resolution, which leads to the peaceful transition of power that remains one of the most important tenets of our democracy.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Americans hate traffic jams and also dislike power-hungry political figures.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
Scandals have impacted many politicians' careers and aspirations. Some have survived, and others have fallen.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
If a student believes that taking too many exams is hard or skipping advanced courses for a lighter load is a better deal, just wait until he or she goes to college and needs to prepare for finals or has to figure out complex work problems in a stressful environment.
Quote by -Mercedes Schlapp
How many times did your parents tell you to eat your food because there were starving children in Africa? Throwing away food was considered a sin in my family.
