Quotable Quotes:

"Let me tell you about the America I know. My parents immigrated to the U.S. with ten dollars in their pocket, believing that the America they had heard about really did exist. When times got tough they didn’t look to Washington, they looked within."
-- Mia Love, the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah (at the RNC in Tampa, FL)

"When you hear the party (Democratic) that glorified Occupy Wall Street blast success; when you hear them minimize the genius of the men and women who make jobs out of nothing, is that what you teach your children about work?" 
-- Former Co-Chair of Obama's 2008 campaign and Democrat Congressman Artur Davis

 "Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen."
-- Ben Stein 

"Real leaders don't follow polls, real leaders change polls"
-- Gov. Chris Christie, Keynote Speaker at the 2012 RNC
