Debates are set up for nothing more than to tear down the candidates. It's pretty hard to be able to sit and lay out your ideas and your concepts with a one-minute response.

More quotes by Rick Perry
Four semesters of organic chemistry made a pilot out of me.
Rick Perry
In the myopic world of the liberals, guns are responsible for evil instead of the perpetrator of evil. But criminals are not bound by our laws. That's what makes them criminals.
Rick Perry
The Obama administration is an affront to every freedom-loving American,and a threat to every private sector job in this country.
Rick Perry
In Michigan, a liberal democrat raised taxes and kept their government programs at the same level. And guess what? Their economy continued into the toilet, it continued down.
Rick Perry
When it comes to conservative social issues, it saddens me when sometimes my fellow Republicans duck and cover in the face of pressure from the left. Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us so let's quit trying to curry favor with them.
Rick Perry
We had a $10 billion budget deficit when we got here in January of 2003. We cut that budget deficit we did not raise taxes we came back in '05, and we had an $8 billion surplus. That's how fast it can happen.
Rick Perry
In the rush to become all things to all people, the federal government has lost sight of its core responsibilities. As a result we're stuck in this frustrating paradox where Washington actually neglects things it's clearly supposed to be doing, while interfering in other areas where they are neither welcome nor authorized.
Rick Perry
I don't think Obama understands basic economics. Not economics that work. He may understand some theory that someone in Princeton sat and dreamed up, but it's not working.
Rick Perry
My hope is that that person will come forward that can win the presidency that we can all get behind.
Rick Perry
Being the governor of a state is a more pivotal job in the future. I do indeed hope there's someone that says, I'm going to go to Washington, try to get back to our constitutional roots, devolve the centralization of government back to the states. So why would you want to be up there if the action is down here in the states?
Rick Perry
Donald Trump is not softening his position on immigration.
Rick Perry
This administration in Washington that's in power now clearly believes that government is not only the answer to every need, but it's the most qualified to make the most central decisions for every American in every area.
Rick Perry
Armed and law-abiding citizens are a greater deterrent to violent crime than 1,000 laws passed by Congress.
Rick Perry
Religious freedom does not mean freedom from religion.
Rick Perry
I think you need to have a tax system that basically is flat, fair and simple. And - that you can put on a post card. I mean, even Timothy Geithner could do this one and get it on time.
Rick Perry
I stand before you as the governor of Texas but also stand before you the son of two tenant farmers. Ray Perry who came home after 35 bombing missions over Europe to work his little corner of land out there and Amelia who made sure that my sister Milla and I had everything that we needed, included hand sewing my clothes until I went off to college.
Rick Perry
I don't want to be the president of the United States. I do want to work with the governors across the country to make the states more pivotal, more powerful, as they should be.
Rick Perry
I would do away with Education, Commerce, and let's see - the third one I can't. I can't. Oops.
Rick Perry
I mean, Dodd-Frank is strangling small community banks. It doesn't make any difference what the interest rate is. They're not - they're not going to loan the money because they can't make any money for one thing plus the cost of compliance.
Rick Perry
What I learned growing up on the farm was a way of life that was centered on hard work, and on faith and on thrift. Those values have stuck with me my whole life.
Rick Perry
