I look forward to taking on issues regarding the Constitution, intellectual property, terrorism, and other legal and regulatory reforms.

On the issues that I care deeply about - the environment, Roe vs. Wade, the war in Iraq, with no weapons of mass destruction, the tax cuts that are now leading to deficits, I've got some deep issues with the president.

Our job as a government is to start with the great underpinnings of our current economic growth - particularly defence and mining - and build on these.

I will be the government of increasing economic growth and creating jobs. Take it from me that that's the main issue.

As a governor, I am naturally inclined to focus on the domestic side of protecting the United States.

I'm focusing on the issues that bring people together and build broad majorities.

You need to be intent on reducing size, scope, and influence of government.

I really think that elected officials should be focused on how you create sustained economic growth, how do you create jobs and all of these issues that made people - segments of our society believe are really important are diversions politically.

The main issue is huge government spending, and my record has been trying to make sure the federal government lives within its means. I guess that's really what separates where Republicans have been from the Democrats.

The debate on how to shrink the federal government is at the core of our problem of government not doing its job.
