This is probably why I\u2019m never, ever going to be a political advisor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re facing a world-wide epidemic of government. We do not have a worldwide epidemic of starvation or obesity. We\u2019ve got a worldwide epidemic of socialism. We have a worldwide epidemic of too much government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Show prep is getting an advance copy of what\u2019s on the teleprompter. If you do TV news, isn\u2019t that show prep?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t want to just get rid of Obama, I want to take advantage of the opportunity we have to finally get a genuine, full-fledged, unapologetic conservative because this is going to be a major task, rolling this stuff back. It\u2019s going to take more than one election, and it\u2019s going to take somebody fearless.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Does anybody stop and think that maybe we can\u2019t afford to be a player in &#8216;the global clean energy race\u2019 if it\u2019s $16 million a job?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Contributing to the liberal mantra that our candidates are weak, bad, and can\u2019t beat Obama is not only wrong, it\u2019s self-defeating. The same people talking about a &#8216;Big Tent\u2019 seek to shove most of the people in the tent back outside in the rain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Republican establishment has no desire for mainstream conservatism running the party or getting the nomination. And that\u2019s why they\u2019re hot to trot for Christie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So let\u2019s give you a little timeline on Barack Obama. Rush Limbaugh, January 2009: &#8216;I hope he fails.\u2019 Democrats, Gallup poll 2011: &#8216;We know he failed. Rush was right again. Damn!\u2019 That\u2019s the timeline, here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrat Party doesn\u2019t want illegal immigrants here working. They want them voting. They want them on the welfare rolls. They don\u2019t want them working. They\u2019re not a threat to anybody with a job in terms of what the Democrat Party intends for them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I go out, and very rarely anymore, and do a Rush to Excellence tour, I could care less who is in the audience. I don\u2019t think that way. I just don\u2019t. That\u2019s why I never qualified to be a politician.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Diet, what we eat, according to Mayor Doomburg, is government\u2019s highest duty. If I ever found myself in elective audience, the last thing I would think about is telling people what they have to eat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;ABC might have just committed a random act of journalism. It happens now and then.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Think about this, Obama demanding money in his jobs bill to train people for green technology and at the same time we\u2019re training people on how to do something other than green technology when we shut down their firms. Job retraining. That\u2019s another slush fund.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Basically what\u2019s going on is our tax dollars are used to pay back donors! These people donate to Obama, these slush funds are set up for the solar energy companies so they can be paid back &#8212; and then they oftentimes end up working for the regime to boot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you weren\u2019t old enough or paying attention back in the mid- \u201970s through 1980, this country was in as every bit a disaster as today, although we weren\u2019t on the precipice then as we are now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If this were the Democrat Party, the party father would probably tell Obama to step aside and let Rubio run, if Rubio were a Democrat. There are more Hispanic voters now than there are blacks, and Rubio\u2019s got more experience than Obama had when he decided to run.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I contend that the term &#8216;independent\u2019 has been created by the Democrat Party and the media so they don\u2019t have to use Democrats in the description of people voting for Republicans. They don\u2019t like the notion that there are defections from their party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obama has gone full-tilt liberal, full-tilt socialist, because the New York Times and the Congressional Black Caucasians are telling him, &#8216;Buddy, you better be who you are because that\u2019s who we are and you\u2019re not going to win being who you are.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why is the regime continuing to fund more and more solar business start-ups in light of Solyndra? And the answer is: It isn\u2019t about green energy. That\u2019s what Obama says. That\u2019s supposed to get everybody swooning. It\u2019s a slush fund. It is a series of slush funds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I ask myself the best questions I\u2019m ever asked and, therefore, I give the best answers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Republican establishment doesn\u2019t dig the Tea Party.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I\u2019m just not an identity politics guy.
