The tea party movement is huge. The mandate of our victory tonight is huge...
The tea party movement is about saving the country from a mountain of debt that is devouring our country and I think could lead to chaos...
I think we stand on a precipice, we are encountering a day of reckoning...
We have a President who went to Copenhagen and appeared with Robert Mugabe, Hugo Chavez, and others — Evo Morales — to apologize for the industrial revolution. ...
