Zitat des Tages von Newt Gingrich:
I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office.
Trump has got to, I think, move to a new level. This is no longer the primaries. He's no longer an interesting contender. He is now the potential leader of the United States and he's got to move his game up to the level of being a potential leader.
What is the primary purpose of a political leader? To build a majority. If voters care about parking lots, then talk about parking lots.
Whether it's his beloved game of polo or his magical success in business, Norman Brinker simply does not know how to lose.
We don't we agree that litigation reform to lower the cost of healthcare would be a good starting point?
The thing that shocks people... is that I mean what I say. I don't use hyperbole.
Somehow we must reintegrate the scientific with the popular and reconnect the future to the present. This is less a job for scientists, engineers, bureaucrats, and administrators and more a job for novelists, moviemakers, popularizers, and politicians.
I think to close half of Magic Kingdom for the purpose of a White House invitation town hall meeting on a phony main street on behalf of a phony president just strikes me as weird.
And by the way I don't object if people want to attack me, that's their right. All I'm suggesting that it's not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking.
You can either be in the Ron Paul tradition and say there's nothing wrong with heroin and cocaine, or you can be in the tradition that says, 'These kind of addictive drugs are terrible; they deprive you of full citizenship, and they lead you to a dependency which is antithetical to being an American.'
President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck president in American history.
In every election in American history both parties have their cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.
I'm not a natural leader. I'm too intellectual; I'm too abstract; I think too much.
I believe we are now in a struggle over whether or not we are going to save America.
So I'd be quite happy to have a three-hour Lincoln-Douglas-style debate with Barack Obama. I'd let him use a teleprompter. I'll just rely on knowledge. We'll do fine.
The secular elites are so terrified of telling the truth about radical Islam. When you talk about the radical Islamists, we have got to get straight and get serious and talk about it in the right way.
I will continue to find ways to help poor people find a job, get a job, and learn someday to own the job.
Should the Catholic Church find itself discriminated against by the Obama administration on key delivery of services because of the bias and the bigotry of the administration?
If you're not brave, you're not going to be free.
I've been very clear publicly I'm not a perfect human being, and I've made mistakes in my life, and I've had to apologize to God and to seek reconciliation.
I have an enormous personal ambition. I want to shift the entire planet.
I think every religious person should have a deep sense of respect for other people's religious documents and religious symbols just as we were deeply opposed to the Taliban destroying the two historic buddhas which they blew up. So I think we ought to all oppose burning the Koran.
The bigotry question goes both ways. There's a lot more anti-Christian bigotry today than there is concerning the other side. None of it gets covered by the news media.
President Obama has created at least three jobs that I know of - Bob McDonnell, Chris Christie, and Scott Brown.
We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility.
The time has come to tell the truth about the corruption of the government employee unions in this country.
Now, I know among the politically correct, you're not supposed to use facts that are uncomfortable.
Only the elites despise earning money.
We need a visionary leader with very big and bold ideas. This is a very big, very bold country.
I will focus on being substantive and I will focus on Barack Obama.
America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization.
Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman.' Wouldn't they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism.
It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.
I think you can write a psychological profile of me that says I found a way to immerse my insecurities in a cause large enough to justify whatever I wanted it to.
I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.
I have a sense of being at peace. I understand when you give the sign of peace, and when the priest says, 'Peace be with you,' in a way I never did 10 or 15 years ago. I have a deep personal sense of what that means.
