I have a message from the Tea Party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words. We've come to take our government back.
Giving someone a one-time stimulus check, or a one-time tax cut that expires doesn't allow the predictability that business needs.
You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they're tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government.
Does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant? Or does the government own his restaurant?
We should not have the U.S. government buying stock in American industries - the financial industry or any other industry.

You can't have it both ways. You can't tell me that you're taxed enough already, and that you want constitutional government and then in the next breath say, 'Bring me home some bacon.' The pig has been picked clean.
The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.
