Mitt Romney

You mentioned, as we look forward here, this is where Governor Romney starts the night.

Government is at the center of his vision. It dispenses the benefits, borrows what it can't take, consumes a greater and greater share of the economy. You know, with Obamacare fully installed, government would have control of almost half…

But because he has failed, he will run a campaign of diversions and distractions and distortions. That kind of campaign may have worked at another place and at a different time, but not here and not now. It's still about the economy, and…

For every single mom who feels heartbroken when she has to explain to her kids that she needs to take a second job and won't be home as often, for grandparents who can't afford the gas to visit their grandchildren anymore, for the mom and…

Are you better off today than you were four years ago?

My dad's dad was not a polygamist. My dad grew up in a family with a mom and a dad and a few brothers and one sister.

I'm not anti-immigrant. My father was born in Mexico.

I'm certainly not going to apologize for my dad and his success in life. He was born poor. He worked his way to become very successful, despite the fact that he didn't have a college degree.

You know, I think this campaign is going to ultimately become about jobs, not dogs.

This administration's attack on freedom extends even to rights explicitly guaranteed by the constitution. The right to bear arms is so plainly stated, is so unambiguous. The liberals have a hard time challenging it directly.

I support them. I won't chip away at them. I believe they help to protect us and provide for our safety, but I want our law-abiding citizens likewise to have the right to purchase and use a weapon for hunting and other purposes.

We need a president that will enforce current laws and not create new ones that only serve to burden lawful gun owners. President Obama has not. I will.

I believe in the right of Americans to bear arms.

Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. They're instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.

The real war on women is being waged by the president's failed economic policies. Now, the president says, 'Oh, I didn't cause this recession.' That's true. He just made it worse. And made it last longer.

He will continue to have a major role in the Republican Party. And I look forward to his work in helping assure victories for Republicans across the country in November. We got to get that job done.

It is increasingly clear the Obama economy is not working and that after three years in the office the president's excuses have run out.

I have said many times before, the president didn't cause the economic crisis. But he did make it worse.

Now I've said many times before, the president did not cause the economic crisis. But he did make it worse.

If I'm away from Ann for longer than a week or so, I just -- I get a little off course. She has to bring me back and moderate me down a bit.

This is without question our number one geopolitical foe. They fight every cause for the world's worst actors.

You know, I mean, most people in this room don't give a lot of thought to something known as Dodd-Frank, this financial regulatory bill.

I am very much in favor of people recognizing that these high gasoline prices are probably here to stay.
