- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I was a state, I would like to see education left to the schools themselves, but I don't want the federal government involved in education. I think that it ends up setting standards that cost you time and money and don't make any difference in education. I want to stop that.

If there were no government-guaranteed student loans, college tuition would be much lower.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Getting elected Governor of New Mexico, I really did enjoy that job. I thought I made a really big difference, and I think the same running for president of the United States - that I could make a really big, positive difference.
- Bumper
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm one of those who believe the bumper sticker: If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. The first people who are going to be in line to turn in their guns are law-abiding citizens. Criminals are going to be left with guns.
- America
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We live in America. We live in a free society where we are able to make choices. It's about giving individuals freedoms and holding them accountable.

- Nov 07, 2020
Politicians shouldn't spend most of their time in office trying to get reelected.

I'm ready for a different America.
- I Am
- |

Unlike President Obama, I am not afraid to state, without a wink or a nod, that the government has no right to tell us who we can marry or not marry.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't believe there should be any restrictions when it comes to firearms. None.
- Campaign Finance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My issue with campaign finance is 100 percent disclosure. Wear a suit with patches from your big contributors. Depending on the size of the contribution, that's how big the patch should be.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I leave abortion to the woman. I just fundamentally end there. I absolutely support a woman's right to choose.
- Better Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Would the world be a better place if all drugs were legalized tomorrow? Absolutely. But pragmatically speaking, you're not going to go from the criminalization of all drugs to the legalization of drugs overnight.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't seek the counsel of God. God doesn't speak to me on what I should or shouldn't do.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
New Mexico is 2-to-1 Democrat. I got elected as a Republican. I think I did a great job of showing people that government doesn't have to spend money to make you happy, that government really needs to be providing a level playing field.
- Car
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Would this country be better off if no one drank? Yes, it would be, but we tried that; it doesn't work. I don't want to tell anybody that they can't have as many drinks as they want every single night of the week as long as they don't get behind the wheel of a car.
- Better Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
By bringing about a rational drug policy, we'd be freeing up a lot of resources for real crime. Drug disputes would get played out with courts rather than with guns. So it would make this country a much better place overnight.
- Liberty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The excitement right now is coming from the Liberty movement. And the Republicans want a piece of it.
- Guns
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The current prohibition laws are forcing drug disputes to be played out with guns in our streets. We need to put a stop to this criminal drug element in our country.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't smoke marijuana anymore. I don't drink. Marijuana is a handicap. So is alcohol. Alcohol is a terrible handicap. But in spite of being a handicap, it shouldn't be criminal.
- Better Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This country would be a better place to live in if all the resources we currently put toward criminalizing marijuana were instead spent by law enforcement on protection from real crime, as opposed to victimless crime.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm finding myself really angry over spending and the deficit. I'm finding myself really angry over what's happening in the Middle East, the decision to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely. I'm angry about cap and trade. And I've been on record for a long time on the failed war on drugs.
- Fan
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm absolutely a Ron Paul fan.
- Great Opportunity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Tonight was a great opportunity to take on the political status quo that has given us trillion dollar deficits and put millions out of work. Our objective was to inject some common sense into the conversation among Republicans at a time when business-as-usual simply won't work.
- Forward
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is clear from the reaction to our campaign so far that our message is resonating. I look forward to continuing to take this message to all Americans, and showing them that I can be as successful running the country as I was running the state of New Mexico.
- Neighbor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My next-door neighbor's two dogs have created more shovel-ready jobs than this current administration.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Balance the federal budget now, not 15 years from now, not 20 years from now, but now. And throw out the entire federal tax system, replace it with a fair tax, a consumption tax, that by all measurements is just that. It's fair.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As I told the students every time I visited a campus, you are the director of your own movie, and if you aren't enjoying what you are doing, change it.
- Hope
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hope that people will see that we don't have to sit by the sidelines and watch as the two major parties limit their choices to slightly different flavors of the status quo. It is, in fact, possible to join the fray, stand up for principles and offer a real alternative.
- Optimism
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Regardless of who wins, an election should be a time for optimism and fresh approaches.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think libertarians need somebody who can articulate getting from A to Z. But you know, if G is achievable, how about it? Let's get there!
- Excluded
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never, ever, when I entered this process of running for president of the United States, thought I would be excluded from the debate table. Ever. What does two terms as governor get you?
- I Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love Costco.
- Health
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am actually one of those who took President Obama at his word when he first ran - that he would get us out of ill-advised wars, that he would do something about health care costs, and that he would protect civil liberties. Like many Americans, I was disappointed.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Where in the Constitution does it say that because we don't like a foreign country's leader, we should go in and topple the dictator?
- Applicable
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We should make it as easy as possible to be able to get a legal work visa - not citizenship, not a green card. Just a work visa, with a background check and a Social Security card so that applicable taxes would get paid.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world. 'America, land of liberty and freedom?' You know, that's baloney. More than 2 million Americans are behind bars now. Communist China has four times the population and they have 1.5 million people behind bars.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everyone else is parsing it in terms of lowering the corporate income tax. Eliminate it. It's not that big of a generator of income, and it's a double tax. Get rid of it, and you would have an explosion of hiring.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I ran two campaigns for governor in a state that's 2-1 Democrat where I did not mention my opponent in print, radio, or television. I don't know if any other politician at a gubernatorial, congressional, or a senatorial level can make the claim.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People are clamoring to hear good ideas as opposed to the lesser of two evils... Either the Democrats are going to win or the Republicans are going to win, but the losers are all of us out here as citizens that really do want meaningful change, and none of it's happening. There's no dialogue regarding meaningful change.
- Equality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Marriage equality - I think that it's a constitutionally guaranteed right. Let's end the drug wars. Let's balance the federal budget, and that means reforming the entitlements - Medicaid, Medicare.
- Fiscally
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Using a broad brushstroke, I think Libertarian - most of America are socially accepting and fiscally responsible. I'm in that category. I think, broadly speaking, that's a Libertarian. A Libertarian is going to be somebody who's really strong on civil liberties.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm going to make the claim that I'm stronger than Obama when it comes to civil liberties, and I'm going to make the claim that I'm stronger than Romney when it comes to dollars and cents.
- Impact
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If there's a clear genocide somewhere, don't we really want to positively impact that kind of a situation? Isn't that what we're all about? Isn't that what we've always been about?
- Personally
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't personally have a sense that life starts at conception. I don't personally have that sense.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the government should be out of the marriage business and leave marriage to the churches.
- Think
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I view the system the same way that Ayn Rand views the system - that it really oppresses those that create, if you will, and tries to take away from those that produce and give to the non-producers.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just feel abandoned. And I feel, I don't feel represented by the Republican Party. I have always had to defend the social side of the Republican Party by saying that it's not the majority, that it's not their focus, when everything suggests just the opposite.
- Fiscal Responsibility
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I see the demographics increasing, and by that I mean the notion of social acceptance is growing, not decreasing; I think the notion of fiscal responsibility is growing, not decreasing. And Republicans seem to be moving further away from those two categories than closer.
- Reality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This is something that I witnessed out on the campaign trail for three years, which is that there is a total disconnect between the rhetoric regarding immigration and the reality. And I'm speaking as a border state.
- Innocent
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't want to put one innocent person to death to put 99 that are guilty to death. So philosophically I'm a tooth-for-tooth guy, but the reality is the death penalty as public policy is flawed.
- Big Difference
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There was a big difference between Ron Paul and me when it came to the 'no.' His 'no' was philosophical. It was reasoned. It was right. My 'no' actually put a stop to legislation. It cut spending. Mine carried further than just no.
- Budget
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Let's abolish the IRS, let's eliminate income tax, let's eliminate corporate tax, let's balance the federal budget, and if we need a tax, it can be one federal consumption tax.
- Environment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In a zero corporate tax rate environment, if the private sector doesn't create tens of millions of jobs, then I don't know what it takes to create tens of millions of jobs.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I would have never signed the Patriot Act. I would have never signed the National Defense Authorization Act allowing for arrests and detainment of you and me as U.S. citizens without being charged.
- Faulty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'll be the first one to admit that if I have conclusions based on faulty premises, then let me know about that, and I'll be the first one to change it.
- Half
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's an unintended consequence when it comes to drone attacks in Yemen. Yeah, you take out the al-Qaida stronghold, but you also wipe out the other half of the block. That makes Yemenis against the United States for the rest of their lives and all their descendants.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't want to close the door that if any of us were president of the United States that we would sit idly by and watch something like the Holocaust go down. I don't want to close the door on the United States involving themselves and putting a stop to that. Can we spend money on that? Yeah, I think so.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Am I not correct in saying that Iran has never voiced that they are developing a nuclear weapon, nor do they have any intention of using a nuclear weapon against the United States? That's never actually been voiced. I don't know where that has come from, but it hasn't been from Iran.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was your C student. I paid attention in the classes that were about how to get elected.
- Light
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That's the first sign you know you're a Libertarian. You see the red light. You stop. You realize that there's not a car in sight. And you put your foot on the gas.
- Equality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most Americans are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I'm advocating a balanced budget. But along with that, look, there should be gay marriage equality. A woman should have the right to choose. Let's not build a fence across the border.
- Capitalism
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We do live in an environment of crony capitalism, and the main reason we do is that loopholes are for sale, and both parties have their hands out through those loopholes.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always considered myself a Libertarian. While I was running for governor of New Mexico, the Republicans were totally inclusive of me; the party was open-armed, but they never thought I'd win. I delivered in a really big way; I exceeded their expectations and think I'm still highly regarded by the GOP in New Mexico.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My supporters are people who believe in being fiscally responsible and socially accepting. I think most people are in that category. Speaking with a broad brushstroke, those are my supporters.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I would say that a wasted vote is voting for anybody you don't believe in. If you believe in the third party, that's the guy you need to voice for. That's how you change things.
- Him
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have not watched Glenn Beck. I don't watch him.
- Politicians
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Politics is a herd mentality. Politicians don't really lead. Politicians reflect what they think is consensus opinion.
- Disease
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Any movement at all that reduces disease, that reduces overdoses, that reduces property crime, that reduces violent crime, is good.
- Competition
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All I suggest is to make K-12 like higher education. Higher education in the United States is the best in the world because these institutions compete with each other for your tuition dollar. Let's just bring competition to public education.
- Mount
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I climbed Mount Everest. I don't quit.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that the best that government can do for you and I as individuals is to empower you and I to make decisions that only you and I should make.
- Always
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As governor of New Mexico, I would have - I signed a bill banning late term abortion. I've always favored parental notification. I've always favored counseling. I've always favored the notion of no public funds used for abortion.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I support gay unions. I think the government should get out of the marriage business completely - leave marriages to the churches. And grant civil unions to gay couples, grant civil unions to a man and woman.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Part of being out there, campaigning, talking to people, is being able to read body language.
- Our
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It kind of scares me, the notion that we're going to be injecting ourselves into other countries' affairs when they're not posing a threat to our security. I wouldn't be telling Israel what to do.
- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just think everything we do has an unintended consequence. We take out Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and Iraq was the check against Iran.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Involvement in Afghanistan, I thought, was totally warranted. We were attacked, we attacked back, but after six months of being in Afghanistan, I thought we had pretty well effectively wiped out al Qaeda.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm outraged that we're building roads, schools, and hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that we're doing it with borrowed money from China that we're paying interest on. I'm outraged.
