Don't back off on traditional values. It's important to show respect and tolerance for others, but they must show the same respect for your values. Tolerance is a two-way street.

I think I have a good eye for talent. I think I'm smart enough to figure out what the mission is and achieve it. I achieve it by hiring good people.

I only understand friendship or scorched earth.

In general, I think man-on-the- street ads and endorsement spots are having less and less effect on people. The electorate's getting very sophisticated, and they want to make their own judgments.

Image
Phrase it in an interesting way don't phrase it in a mean or unfriendly way. Bob Dole said that if there's anything he would have done differently, he would have said [to George Bush] Start telling the truth about my record instead of Stop lying about my record. Frankly, had he done that, life might be different for Bob Dole today.

If you are a good communicator, be unique: put yourself in your own commercials and do something a little different. To the extent you can focus on what it is you want to change, what it is you know how to change, and what it is you think will make life better for other people, you're going to do better.

You can get people the qualifications But you can't teach them the qualities they're going to need. You can't teach integrity, a drive for excellence, refusal to quit under pressure. It's too late to build that into people you're going to hire.

There's something about the American people: They have such an innate sense of fairness that the red light goes on and the bells go off the second you approach that line. Any kind of personal attack is verboten. You shouldn't do it it's not worth it.

Image
I've found increasingly less effectiveness with the man-on-the street type of stuff that was very standard fare for years. It can still be effective, but it's got to be done well.
Roger Ailes
Image
If you want to get unpaid media coverage, you had better be quotable. It's an interesting problem, because very few candidates are quotable.
Roger Ailes
Image
Almost everything I do is related to my ability to hire good people. I don't take much of the credit myself. I think I have a good eye.

Image
It's better to be in charge of change than to have to react to change.

You never pull the trigger until you know you can win.

I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings.

Just because somebody else likes a candidate doesn't necessarily mean everybody else will like him.
Roger Ailes
Image
I think the media is dangerously close to creating their own product. They used to cover the product, which was whatever's happening.

Reporters may be friendly-but if you get through life without having a reporter as a friend, that may be an advantage. If you insist on having one as a friend, don't do interviews with him.

I think it's because I'm unpredictable. I view every situation, every race, and every candidate differently I try not to rely on something that worked before.
