Mitt Romney

I think the challenge that he has is that his ideas are just not demonstrating the kind of results he would hope for, and people recognize that.

Obviously the vice president has done, I don't know, 15 or 20 debates during his lifetime. Experienced debater. This is I think Paul's first debate.

I think it's always a perilous course for a candidate to start talking about the mathematics of an election.

I just happen to disagree with those policies.

Now and then you're going to say something that doesn't come out right, in this case I said something that's just completely wrong.

There are 47 percent of the people will vote for the president no matter what.

The unemployment rate as you know this year has come down very, very slowly but it's come down nonetheless. The reason it's come down this year is primarily due to the fact that more and more people have just stopped looking for work.

Clearly, in a campaign with hundreds, if not thousands of speeches and question and answer sessions, now and then you're going to say something that doesn't come out right. In this case, I said something that's just completely wrong.

I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I'm going to stop other things. I like PBS. I love Big Bird. I actually like you too, but I'm not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for it.

Those that are dependent upon government and those that think government's job is to redistribute, I'm not going to get them.

What you had last night was one of the most clearly blatantly dishonest performances by someone running for the presidency of the United States I think we have ever seen in modern time.

Mr. President, you're entitled as the president to your own airplane and to your own house but not to your own facts.

Mr. President, this is a big government scheme that doesn't work for trying to take over one-seventh of the GDP.

He laid out a systematic and devastating critique of Obama's record on health care, including the independent payment advisory boards, across-the-board cuts in services, including $716 billion in draconian cuts to providers, nursing homes…

He's consistently said he would repeal Obamacare and replace it with what? Replace it with a conservative reform alternative.

This is the private market.

Look, I'm not looking to cut massive taxes.

Under the President's policies, middle-income Americans have been buried.

My plan has five basic parts: One, get us energy independent, North American energy independent.

I'm going to cut the deficit in half. Unfortunately, he doubled it.

I'm not going to reduce the share of taxes paid by high-income people.

I spent 25 years in business. If I had a business executive come to me and say they wanted to spend a few hundred billion dollars to put a colony on the moon, I would say you're fired.
