Tennesseans know they can count on me to never compromise on independent, conservative principles and that I will always fight for smaller government, less spending, and more jobs.

Here in Tennessee, instead of the big spending, big government, job killing agenda of the Obama Administration, Tennesseans have tightened their belts and are struggling to find jobs that will enable them to support their families.

We are here today because of grass-roots conservatives all over the place. That's the way the democratic process is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be a bunch of guys in a smoky room in Austin picking the next Senator.

There's a big gap between public opinion polls and the vote in Washington, in Congress.

Northeastern and most coastal states will vote for the candidate who is more closely aligned with international cooperation and engagement, secularism and science, gun control, individual freedom in culture and sexuality, and a greater role for the government in protecting the environment and ensuring economic equality.

While Republican voters have remained universally supportive of their President, Democrats and Independents are returning to a more naturally critical stance.

I think that Minnesota is different because we are proving that tri-partisan government could work, that you do not need to necessarily be a Democrat or a Republican to be successful at governing.

Ninety percent of the politicians give the other ten percent a bad reputation.

I just think that the independent voters are going to take their time and look at both candidates.

Too many of the career politicians, the established politicians in Washington on both sides of the aisle, are representing their party more than the people. And no matter what the media says, the ballot box will determine what people truly believe.
