The good news is, survey after survey, poll after poll still shows that were a center-right 70-30 country. Seventy percent of Americans want the American dream. They believe in the American idea. Only 30 percent want the welfare state.

There's been a traditional Democrat and Republican consensus lowering tax rates by broadening the tax base works. And you can.

Unlike the president who was in favor of that budget control act, yes, Republicans voted for it as well, but those defense cuts that are part of that budget control act, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan say they will put that money back into the…

Look across that region today. What do we see? The slaughter of brave dissidents in Syria, mobs storming American embassies and consulates. Iran four years closer to gaining a nuclear weapon. Israel, our best ally in the region treated…

Small businesspeople say they made it on their own. All they're saying is nobody else worked seven days a week in their place. Nobody showed up in their place to open the door at 5:00 in the morning. Nobody did their thinking and worrying…

We can do better than this. This bill is unworthy of our new president's signature. This is just a long spending wish list from every spending interest group that is out there.

This bill does not control costs. This bill does not reduce deficits. Instead, this bill adds a new health care entitlement at a time when we have no idea how to pay for the entitlements we already have.

I oppose the stimulus because it didn't work. It didn't work.

This bill, this economic stimulus package is unworthy of our new president's signature. This is just a long spending wish list from every spending interest group that's out there.

Exploiting people's emotions of fear, envy, and anxiety, is not hope, it's not change. It's partisanship.

What the American idea's all about.

Well, they're a different -- the budget plan that Mitt Romney is supporting gets us down to 20 percent of GDP government spending by 2016. That means get the size of government back to where it historically has been. What President Obama…

I would put a contrast. President Obama, never once, ever, has offered a plan to ever balance the budget.

We believe a renewed commitment to limited government will unshackle our economy.

We don't want to follow Europe. We don't want a welfare state. We don't want a debt crisis. We don't want to prolong this recession. We don't want to keep this path of household incomes going down $4,000. We want to turn this thing around.

I'm excited for what lies ahead. I'm thrilled to be part of America's comeback team. And together, we will unite America and get this done!

Look, we have a normal life here in Janesville, my wife and I, three beautiful kids. We have soccer on Saturdays. We have cub scouts. We have a normal life like everybody else. I go to Washington four days a week, which I call the silly…
