I am a conservative Republican, a firm believer in free market capitalism. A free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process.

Republicans believe largely in the market working, Democrats believe stereotypically that you've got to give people something. So why not give people a chance to let the market work for them.

I'm part of a party that I think values making sure that everyone in this country has an opportunity to succeed. That's why I'm a Democrat.

As Republicans, our challenge is to become a pro-market party and not be a pro-business party.

The Republican Party is an empty vessel unless we imbue it with values.

The future of the Republican Party and the future of America is based on a values system and the issues that drive those values are on our side.

In the Republican Party, we talk all the time about the importance of free markets and open competition. It seems to me that if we don't practice what we preach, we won't have much credibility with others.

Americans have learned to trust free markets. Republican or Democrat, we believe the unimpeded exchange of goods and services will yield better solutions than five-year plans set by even the most well-meaning public servants.

I stand for limited government, fiscal responsibility, personal freedom, personal responsibility, so the Republican Party will support me.

Republicans should simply focus on first principles and give the American people what they want - an honest party dedicated to common sense, fiscal responsibility and limited government. If we govern to save the country, we'll do well as a party.
