More quotes by William Weld
I would just say 2016 is a year when voters have to think for themselves and shouldn`t necessarily take it from the Rs and the Ds in Washington. But you have to vote for me because otherwise the other guy might win. That`s not really very substantive.
William Weld
It's completely idiot proof. I told them they've got it all wrong. I want a machine that is idiot friendly.
William Weld
People aren't stupid. I mean, people remember in 1990, the unemployment rate was 10 percent. Now it's 4 _ percent. We've got 1/4 million jobs that we've created.
William Weld
It's healthy for government to be a kind of moral catalyst, using the bully pulpit of high office.
William Weld
Nobody can tell me that no changes are necessary in Washington.
William Weld
I think coercive taxation is theft, and government has a moral duty to keep it to a minimum.
William Weld
Gary Johnson and I have a good platform of having been fiscally conservative and we`re socially inclusive. And that`s different from both the other parties. The voters have a right to see that choice to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. That doesn`t describe either of the other parties.
William Weld
I think Gary Johnson is just in the wrong place trying to be President of the United States. And that`s not a secret. I do not view those other two candidates, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton the same way. I think very highly of Mrs. Clinton. I think she is very well qualified.
William Weld
You know in fairness Gary [Johnson] and I have not agreed on a number of substantive issues in this campaign, tax policy, we've had some influence on each other, I think I've had some influence on him, on constructive engagement around the world, he's had some influence on me in criminal justice reform issues.
William Weld
So government acts as a safeguard of our property.
William Weld
Natural resources are so vast that no single individual or business is going to protect them they don't have an incentive to.
William Weld
I think in the real world that's probably correct. That would give federal matching funds. It would mean no more ballot access woes.
William Weld
The unemployment rate is still twice as high for blacks as for whites.
William Weld
There are several such issues where I have departed radically from the Republican orthodoxy.
William Weld
One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.
William Weld
Micro managing anything is not a great role for government.
William Weld
I think Gary Johnson would be capable of being a good chief executive and yes a commander in chief - Aleppo to the contrary, notwithstanding.
William Weld
I think transportation and corrections are not the first two areas that I would go looking for massive change.
William Weld
Liberals often don't see the problems, and conservatives don't see the promise, of government.
William Weld
I talk with Gary [Johnson] every other day, we're on different coasts usually but we keep in touch and - yeah, no I do not agree with that release.
William Weld
