I got into politics when I was eight years old.

I am an only child and home-schooled, so I have no siblings or classmates.

In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.

I'd like to do policy and I'd like to do philosophy, I'd like to be able to get into the depth, into the meat of the argument - that's the kind of stuff I want to do.

I don't think Obama's a socialist or evil, I just think he's wrong and I disagree with him, he's a leftist, that's what they are in France and in Great Britain and in Canada.

I think that President Obama is beginning to realize that a lot of his plans have backfired.

In politics almost all of us are nerds, so that's just a given... but we're cool nerds.

My dad thinks Obama is a socialist and all these extreme views.
