“In an outrageous abuse of power, our governor has chosen to ignore the will of the people by refusing to enact all provisions of the new law, ... My first act as governor, once elected, will be to enact all the provisions of Proposition 200. I will transmit policy directives to all state agencies for the training of state personnel on how to fully implement Proposition 200.”
“If I had inherited the mess that Johnson got into, I would have said to North Vietnam, by dropping leaflets out of B-52s, 'You quit the war in three days or the next time these babies come over there going to drop some big bombs on you.' And I'd make a swamp out of North Vietnam ... I'd rather kill a hell of a lot of North Vietnamese than one American and we've lost enough of them,”
“I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ``needed'' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents "interests,'' I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.”
“We have a problem here in Arizona that local law officials and local government and our federal officials fail to recognize — that we have a border problem out here, ... We've had raging battles down our freeways where rival drug gangs have shot it out with themselves, endangering people.”
