I'm tolerant of all religions... I don't care if someone wants to go out there and worship the bark on a tree.

Republicans are not a political party. It's a mental condition.

I don't support abortion. I could never participate in one. But I think it would be a mistake to make them illegal again.

My four years as governor, I never met with a lobbyist once, never. Not one lobbyist got in my office.

I don't take PAC money. I don't take special interest money.

I don't oppose hunting in any way, shape or form. If that's what you enjoy doing, you are free to do it.

Let me say this: I'm paranoid of the government. They've lost my trust. They've lied to me so many times that I don't know what to believe from them anymore.

When you live in Mexico, your houses all have names.

I could never be a career politician, because I believe in telling the truth.

Liberty is security. Freedom is security.

The SuperPACs and the Citizens United ruling that gives corporations a voice in the political process are all bad news. They made it so you can now lie, and the politician being promoted on that lie will not be held responsible for it.

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.

Let's remember, the CIA's job is to go out and create wars.

I'm not allowed on FOX, and I'm not allowed on MSNBC.

Democrats are so spineless, so afraid to go against the tide... but dissension is the greatest form of patriotism.

There's nothing glamorous about war at all.

Wrestling is ballet with violence.

If I were an innocent individual, flown to a foreign country and held for several years and tortured, I'd become a terrorist, too. I'd go to war against the U.S.

I think a person who is disabled should be disabled by no act of their own. If you become disabled because of alcoholism, drugs, or things of that nature, I do not think those conditions qualify someone to be called disabled. I think those conditions result from personal decisions.

Jobs are created in the private sector. Not by the president or the government unless they're government jobs.

Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didn't: Go stick your head in the mud.

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.

'The David Letterman Show' is a show of comedy.

I decided to run for governor because I got mad... I want to make government more directly accountable to the people.
