It's not good for government to tell people that the world owes them a living and that things are free.
-
I think Gary Johnson would be capable of being a good chief executive and yes a commander in chief - Aleppo to the contrary, notwithstanding.
-
Government can contribute to a shared sense of purpose on the part of the citizenry; that's its highest and best application.
-
I`m an old duck hunter. I like to go hunting where the ducks are. We`re looking for votes. I think maybe poaching some of those soft Donald Trump Republican votes would be the place to go.
-
I think Gary Johnson is just in the wrong place trying to be President of the United States. And that`s not a secret. I do not view those other two candidates, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton the same way. I think very highly of Mrs. Clinton. I think she is very well qualified.
-
[Donald Trump] would be chaos for the country, I think.
-
I have come to realize that Jesse Helms stands for everything in politics that is anathema to me.
-
I don't understand the Democrats' approach to Social Security in this country, and I'm not alone.
-
Opposing the free flow of goods or people is a bad idea.
-
We speak for all citizens of the Commonwealth when we say that society can draw great hope for the future because of the example which these young people are giving by their creative and constructive responses to the challenges which confront our communities and dedication to help those most in need.
-
I think in the real world that's probably correct. That would give federal matching funds. It would mean no more ballot access woes.
-
The courts are truly the least dangerous of the three branches of our government.
-
I think Hillary Clinton deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the Democratic National Committee.
-
It's healthy for government to be a kind of moral catalyst, using the bully pulpit of high office.
-
[Donald Trump] doesn't deal well with criticism and blame and I don't think he could competently manage the office of the presidency given the criticism and challenge that you face every single day as the President of the United States.
-
I extend that to the abortion issue, I extend that to the so-called gay rights issue, I think this is a freedom principle and consistent with the analysis in the economic area as well.
-
I think coercive taxation is theft, and government has a moral duty to keep it to a minimum.
-
[James] Comey's got a good background but there's nothing there, so far as it appears. Nothing there. So he wrote the letter to the eight Republican committee members copied to the Democrats saying 'you know some emails have turned up, we've looked at a lot of emails now it turns out there are even more emails - we don't know what's there, so there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that could be of interest to anyone until we conduct our multi-week, multi-month investigation.
-
We are making our case that we're fiscally responsible and socially inclusive and welcoming. And we think we've got on the merits the best ticket of the three parties, if you will, and so, you know, we'd like to get there.
-
One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.
-
I would just say 2016 is a year when voters have to think for themselves and shouldn`t necessarily take it from the Rs and the Ds in Washington. But you have to vote for me because otherwise the other guy might win. That`s not really very substantive.
-
We're getting to the point where we're impinging on democratic institutions in this country and I think, you know, it takes a certain - not a suspension of disbelief - but willingness to go along with other people to get the ship of state going forward. I'm not sure that happens in a [Donald] Trump presidency, frankly.
-
I`m a member of Societies of Former World Leaders. And I`ve always been sort of in favor of constructive engagement around the world. And Gary Johnson has influenced me on criminal justice reform. I think I had some influence in discussions with him about the approach to international affairs.
-
I think government has a major role to play in helping us with the pursuit of happiness.
