In a divided government, you can't just say, 'It's my way or the highway.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think 'my way or the highway' works, that mentality. And that's what the Tea Party has done: drawn a line in the sand. I'm sorry - that doesn't work in business, that doesn't work in your family, it certainly doesn't work in government and our Congress.
When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it.
Until the people, by amendment, change the constitution, I urge that the counties cooperate with one another, that future road work be more uniform, and done in such a way that it will result in connected and continuous highways.
We cannot afford to walk down that dangerous path of government overstepping its boundaries into the most personal parts of our lives.
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
American government is like a train on a track. You have the people on the left shouting; you have the people on the right. But the train's on track. They just keep ploughing ahead.
As a newly married person, as much as I would love for my husband to buy into the 'my way or the highway' philosophy, you realize it's all about compromising and finding some sort of middle ground that everyone can live with.
My slogan when I ran was that there is no such thing as government money, there is only taxpayer's money, and that cut pretty deep.
You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.
I want the government to provide the military so we don't get invaded by somebody and destroyed. I want the government to provide the roads so I can get from point A to B. In terms of taking care of my day to day needs, I want to do that myself. I want my community to do that.
