Politician

I'm opposed to Blue Cross telling me how to practice medicine. Or anybody else.

We're really not going to get that much money out of a lottery for a small state like Alabama.

You can't be partially pregnant.

Nobody is going to come into Alabama to buy lottery tickets. The only people that are going to buy them here are those that live here, and that's just a certain percentage of people.

My goal is to have a simple lottery to help our people and solve a decades old problem dealing with our general fund, particularly Medicaid. Let us solve this together and allow the people in your district the right to be a part of the process with a vote.

I'm opposed to anybody getting between me and the patient.

I'm not worried about state parks. I'm worried about people who can't be treated because they have schizophrenia or other mental illnesses out there. I'm worried about people.

Alabama is better than to depend on gambling to fund its government.

We need someone who has the experience - and the demeanor - to be the president of the United States.

My intentions are to try to make this state better.

You have to have your wallet for security reasons. I'm the governor. And I had to have money. I had to buy something to eat. You have to have identification.

I was opposed to the government telling me how to practice medicine when I was a doctor.

I have to uphold not only the constitution of Alabama, but I swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States, and we will uphold the law of the United States.

I am committed to finding new revenue so that state agencies, like the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, can continue to provide essential public safety departments to Alabamians.

I am concerned about the plight of the working poor... If doctors are not paid for seeing those patients, doctors will not go to rural Alabama because you can't expect a doctor to go to rural Alabama and lose money.

If you start free trade with a Communist country, allow them to develop their own businesses, they don't remain communistic. They become a free society when they're able to make money themselves, and we increase trade with them and allow them to really produce products.

If you're in Congress, you vote and give speeches. But governors have to make decisions every day, and presidents have to make decisions every day.

What I don't want to see is our political system corrupted by gambling money, especially casino gambling money.

I'm against high taxes. But we certainly cannot be so anorexic in government that we cannot function.

If the Holy Spirit lives in you, that makes you my brothers and sisters.
