I represent the small businesses, the women, and the families working so hard to rebuild our communities.

Mitt Romney not only believes in the values of economic freedom. His entire life has been committed to advancing it.

It's businesses versus big government. We don't need big government. We need a more efficient, lean government, and that's exactly the kind of government we intend to deliver.

I am not saying that government has nothing to offer. Government has an important role in fostering an environment conducive to business creation while also protecting its citizens. These are not mutually exclusive.

My submission to you is we're fighting the war on terror not overseas but in our own streets, and we'd be spending vast more fortunes to try to be a defensive country to protect ourselves rather than an offensive country to spread democracy wherever people yearn for it.

One thing we know about government after the New Deal is that checks and balances through whistle-blowing is terrible policy.

If we treated politics like more of a profession, like it should be, we would all be a lot better off.
