"I’m
not looking to be loved. You see I think politicians get themselves in
the biggest trouble when they care more about being loved than they care
about being respected. That’s why we run up these deficits we run up,
that’s why we can’t say no to anything, because we care too much about
being loved. I’m loved enough at home, believe me, on occasion..."
“I’ve never seen a less optimistic time in my lifetime in this country. And people wonder why. I think its really simple. Its because government’s now telling them ‘stop dreaming’ ‘stop striving’ ‘we’ll take care of you’. We’re turning into a paternalistic entitlement society. That will not just bankrupt us financially it will bankrupt us morally, because when the American people no longer believe that this is a place where only their willingness to work hard and to act with honor and integrity and ingenuity determines their success in life, then we’ll have a bunch of people sitting on a couch waiting for the next government check."
