Don't get me wrong, I am a proud Republican, and I want to support my party. I am a firm believer in the Republican principles of smaller government, low taxes and economic freedom. I have spent my time in government service fighting for these principles.

I will support the Republican nominee.

I support anyone who supports what's in the Republican platform, which includes support for traditional marriage.

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

I'm saying it loud: I'm a Republican who supports gay rights.

If you want people to support you, then you have to support them. You have to think long about what you did for people who voted for you, made phone calls for you, who went door to door for you.

Any individual that would be running for office, if they would say something that crosses a line and, in the end, is so significant, so major, that you couldn't support them, I'd have to withdraw support from any individual, okay?

I have unbelievable support among Republicans.

I'm very confident that not only will the other candidates who ran for this office support me but all of their supporters will as well. So yes, I'm very confident that I will get their support.

When you become active in the system and communicate to your representatives, and they don't vote in accordance with your values, your responsibility is to support candidates who will.
