President Obama's over in Indonesia when guys like me were at a paper route. President Obama, I don't know what experience he had at that same age when he was in Indonesia. So I think it's hard for him to grasp that America entrepreneurial spirit.

The collusion of big business, big labor, and big government threaten the spirit of small business that makes America great.

In certain states, if a woman makes $12,000 a year, and lives with her quarter-of-a million dollar boyfriend and they don't get married, as long as they don't get married, she gets maybe 20 or 30 thousand dollars in pre-tax benefits in terms of food stamps, health care and housing allowance.

There's a group of people - maybe the secular Taliban is a good name for them - who have morphed this idea, that you have to accept my values being every bit as cherished as your values. That's not tolerance... There are too many things in this world which we sit back and tolerate.

Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs did not start out wealthy, and actually added to income inequality, but we all benefit from their creative effort.

What do wealthy people do with their money? They can only buy so many cars, houses, and steak dinners. So we either give it away or invest it.

'Hannity' had a a guy on that said, 'I fathered 20 kids by 14 mothers.' That is s cultural issue which has demeaned our society and has caused our society dearly in terms of imprisonment. Who's going to be the fathers to those children? Who's going to pay child support?

I think of all the guys that strap a gun on their backs and head to Afghanistan and Iraq to keep us free and safe and maintain what America has stood for.

I've said before, the number one thing that we have to work on is protecting the gay community from sharia law. Now, in the United States, it's probably not a big issue right now, but my brother-in-law is gay, and his partner and I would like them to be able to travel any place in the world without them risking harm.

I allowed Rick Santorum to express views and ideas that the American people never would have had expressed.

What people love about Santorum is he is who is he. He speaks his words. He loves God. He loves his country, and he loves gays.

I think culture precedes politics, and I think the attempts to try and legislate people's behavior... isn't going to be productive until the culture decides what they want to achieve.

I think it's unfair that people can't give assets to whoever they want. When I die, my assets can go to my wife. And a gay person - you ought to have a system where maybe you can just say, 'You can give your assets to anybody you want.'

If we really want to cherish religious freedom, people who want to believe that same-sex marriage should take place, they have a right to believe that, and people who want to believe it's inappropriate, we should not demonize those people - if we really believe in religious liberty.

On the national security front, Rick Santorum is superior to any candidate I know.

Whether it is a super PAC or not, I have been blessed with wealth, and I think I have responsibility to use it properly.

I very, very much want to be involved in helping those senators, congressmen, and women who support the principles that made America great.

I have four kids. They are two years apart, and contraception has been very, very good to me.

Rick Santorum has so much potential and so much eagerness to serve our country.

In America, we have this bell curve of certain values. And then we have another bell curve of different values, which is the Republican Party. And they're out of sync right now.

Santorum is the greatest person on the face of the planet as far as I'm concerned.

The press called me a billionaire, and my wife came up and said I must be squirreling money away.

Rick Santorum is the grandson of a coal miner. His dad was the manager of a V.A. hospital.

If you look at Republicans, they always run these old war horses.

Do you honestly think that if Senator Santorum becomes president, we're going to get rid of contraceptives?

Foster Friess

I am absolutely stunned how the Democrats were able to somehow say that the Republicans had a war on women... What was the war on women?

I want to make sure the people we elect to office believe in America.

How hard have those intolerant of John Adams's perspective worked to strip from young people any hope of knowing the concepts and truths that help deal with life?

The McCain-Feingold limit on how much you give a candidate didn't really work because people found ways to get around it.

In the old days, money controlled politics. Today, information controls politics. So I think with the advent of the Internet, the power of wealth has been diminished. Look up all the people you know who spent millions and millions of dollars and fell short.
