Quotes from the Campaign Trail:

• “Bill, while we have been talking about your campaign and your ideas you have looked me squarely in the eyes and I know that I can trust you to do exactly what you say”. From a discussion between Bill Parson and a school Teacher while they were waiting for tires to be installed on their vehicles at a Las Vegas Discount Tire Store.

• “Those who have voted for the expansion of government’s reach seek to convince us of their wonderful deeds (see here Senator Reid’s guest column in the Las Vegas Sun). The message of “look how we’ve saved you” is supposed to override the reality of gosh, things aren’t really all that great. We are supposed to keep looking for something positive in the pile of horse manure and we might find a pony (which we’ll be mandated to feed and take care of for the rest of our lives).” From Doug Bussleman, Nevada Farm Bureau Bolg.Org .  Well said Doug – I would encourage all to speak loudly and carry a big shovel in this case.

• “If the battle of today is not fought and won, there will be no battle to fight for tomorrow”. Milton Friedman on the topic of Socialized Health Care in a 1978 video taped discussion – as pertinent today as when he said it over 30 years ago.

• “Bill, you don’t have much of a chance against Harry Reid; It’s like David and Goliath”. The soft answer from my wife to the gentleman on the street in Mesquite was:
  “But David Won”.

• “If politicians created the problem, why would I trust them to fix the problem?
  – paraphrased from Penn Fraser Jillette’s comments on the Glenn Beck show.
