What I try to do is tell my constituents that this is what I believe and this is why I made that vote. And I think that that makes more sense to people generally than trying to triangulate some political position.

I'm a conservative. I believe in the idea of freedom and liberty, but more importantly, look at my voting background. I voted against bailing out Wall Street. I voted against, never voted for, a tax increase.

I'm a political conservative.

I'm a conservative, but with a focus on average people. For instance, I support Social Security and Medicare.

I come by my conservatism authentically, not by convenience. And I offer the American people a new direction.

I tend to be pretty conservative in the way I spend money.

To me, to be a conservative means to conserve the good parts of America and to conserve our Constitution.

I am a very instinctive Conservative. I have created a welfare system where it pays to work. I have created independent schools within the state sector bringing excellence to children wherever they are.

The reason why I'm a conservative is because conservative policies work and they improve opportunities. They are the avenue for climbing the economic dream.
