You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone whos just going to be a little different than the person in there.

I love it when the left and when the president say, 'Don't try to impose your values on us, you folks who hold your Bibles in your hand and cling to your guns.' They have values too. Our values are based on religion, based on life. Their values are based on a religion of self.
