Zitat des Tages von Matt Bevin:
Who are we to think that our generation is going to be the first generation to benefit from all the sacrifices that others have made without giving some modern-day equivalent of our own lives, fortunes, and sacred honor?
Is it going to be the people of Kentucky who decides who their senator's going to be, or is it going to be Mitch McConnell saying, 'This is my protege Trey; this is who your next senator's going to be.'?
I'll listen to the people. I will not put my party ahead of what the people want.
Everybody is welcome to come to dinner, but there's going to be the adult table and the kids' table. Whiny people who want to throw food and make noise and interrupt and be rude and act like children, they can sit at the kids' table.
I don't care if it's a dollar or two dollars. If I'm governor, people should have skin in the game.
There's not one person in this state who believes they are going to have a job in my administration... There's not one person who I've promised anything to.
I like Ben Carson.
I don't think it's wise to shut down the government.
I name my companies things that are intentional, that are specific, that are worthy of ridicule if you are anything other.
The Medicaid expansion enacted under Obamacare is unaffordable for the taxpayers of Kentucky and should be repealed.
As Governor, I will direct my Secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services not to distribute federal taxpayer dollars from that department to Planned Parenthood clinics.
People aren't suckers. Some are, perhaps. But most people inside know when we're being lied to.
People are hungry for someone who is real. They are hungry for something that is not the same plastic nonsense that has cause us to have such little respect for our political process and our political officials.
Kentucky HEALTH will allow us to continue to provide expanded Medicaid coverage. But unlike the current Medicaid expansion under Obamacare, it will do so in a fiscally responsible manner that ensures better health outcomes for recipients.
Look at the decisions I've made in my life personally. To paint the picture intentionally that I don't believe in, that I'm not a supporter of, that I'm not an advocate of early childhood education is a mistruth. It's an absolute and outright lie, and to continue to perpetuate it is irresponsible.
It is important never to forget our history, but parts of our history are more appropriately displayed in museums, not on government property.
You can't punch people in the face, punch people in the face, punch people in the face, and ask them to have tea and crumpets with you and think it's all good. Life doesn't work that way.
I was, as president and chairman of the board, required by law to verify the veracity of the financial figures, the assets under management, the number of outstanding shares, et cetera.
I am not above copying what other people are doing well.
We're in Kentucky, dude. How many variations of Bevin are there? Many. Bevins, Blevins, Belvin, Belvins, I'm sure. Or Bevin even with an -eavin or... Bivin or Bivins. And we're probably all cousins if you go back far enough.
I never went to any Tea Party meetings, although I am fiscally very much in like mind, and grateful for and appreciative of the support of anybody, no matter what group they might be part of.
It's a question of whether or not we the people are still in charge. And by 'we the people,' I mean, is this truly a government of and by and for the people.
This is our time. This is our opportunity. Together, we will accomplish great things.
While it may seem small, the ripple effects of small things is extraordinary.
I have 9 children; I'm a big believer in childhood education, but we've got to be smart about getting a good return on the investment of those dollars.
If you've ever questioned your faith, you're going to question it when you are burying your own children.
After 30 years in Washington, it is clear that Mitch McConnell has lost touch with our state, its people, and our values.
I would encourage you: be informed - knowledge is power.
