- "The defeat of this radical and violent faction of Islam must be achieved through a combination of American resolve, international effort, and the rejection of violence by moderate, modern, mainstream Muslims." An effective strategy will involve both military and diplomatic actions to support modern Muslim nations. America must help lead a broad-based international coalition that promotes secular education, modern financial and economic policies, international trade, and human rights."
- Governor Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney's Commonwealth PAC
- ``I think it shows a complete lack of understanding of the kind of enemy that we're facing. This is not a small group of wackos in the hills that all we have to do is go find one person and it suddenly goes away."
- "Well, frankly, the real reason they‘re there is because we don‘t have enough airport security personnel and TSA personnel to man the double number of points for inspection that we‘ve had in the past. We‘ve always had one single place for security checkpoint. Now we have a checkpoint at gates, as well as at the security point. We have to double our number of personnel, almost, and there just aren‘t enough people ready to do that. And that‘s why the National Guard has to step in and play that key role."
- Governor Mitt Romney, on Hardball with Chris Mathews
- Answering, "What will the army troops, the National Guard troops be able to do there that the airport police can‘t?"
- "Well, I think what this particular experience has taught us is one more time, the only way to effectively protect the homeland is not by inspecting every possible source of attack, but rather to do effective intelligence and counterterrorism work. That‘s what the British have shown us again. You have to find the bad guys, reveal the plots before they carry them out, because the number of ways that people can attack us and the number of possible targets is so large that you can‘t protect every single asset, every single human, every single airplane, building, hospital, school. You have to find the bad guys and get them out of our country before they attack us."
- Governor Mitt Romney, on Hardball with Chris Mathews
- People who are in settings -- mosques, for instance -- that may be teaching doctrines of hate and terror. Are we monitoring that? Are we wiretapping? Are we following what's going on? Are we seeing who's coming in, who's coming out? Are we eavesdropping, carrying out surveillance on those individuals that are coming from places that sponsor domestic terror?"
- "To apply the Geneva accords is very strange in my view. It's hard to understand how a party who's not a nation comes under the Geneva convention."
- "First, communication and coordination between law enforcement and the organizing committee are essential... The second lesson we took to heart from Munich was to take every precaution when securing locations where large numbers of athletes would gather – especially the Olympic Village... Another lesson we learned in Salt Lake that we have passed on to future Games is the importance of having a very clear communications plan – both before and during the Games... In my opinion, the most important lesson we learned in Salt Lake, and the one that I repeat whenever I get the opportunity, is the critical nature of intelligence in preventing an attack... The final lesson learned from Salt Lake that I want to focus on is the importance of putting the security and safety team in place as far out as possible, and then exercise, exercise, exercise."
- Governor Mitt Romney, Lessons Learned from Security at Past Olympic Games, May 4rth, 2004
- "In Salt Lake, hundreds of millions of dollars were spent by the federal, state and local governments and SLOC to secure the Games. Literally thousands of people – cops, soldiers, firemen, federal agents, public health workers, and volunteers – put in hundreds of thousands of hours in harsh weather and cold to keep the Games safe. Was that investment worth it? Absolutely. Because the Olympics also carries the dreams we have of a world at peace – the world we are trying to create for our grandchildren and those who come after. It is dream shared by all nations who send their finest to compete in the Olympics. And it is a dream we saw and felt on February 8, 2002 when, in spite of the threat of terrorism, every nation invited to our Games still sent their Olympic team and the athletes of the world marched together into opening ceremonies. Now, more than ever, the Olympic athletes are lights of inspiration and hope in our world – we cannot let terrorists put out that light."
- Governor Mitt Romney, Lessons Learned from Security at Past Olympic Games, May 4rth, 2004
- ""Government inefficiency wastes resources and places a burden on citizens and employers that's harmful to our future."
- "Anytime I see waste, or patronage, it bothers me."
- People from both political parties have long recognized that welfare without work creates negative incentives that lead to permanent poverty. It robs people of self-esteem.''
- Governor Mitt Romney, 01-13-2005 State of the State
- “Fundamentally, this is a debate about the best way to help someone lead a fulfilling life. We know that the best system isn’t about a handout but a hand up.”
- “People want a chance to work so they can build self-sustaining lives instead of relying on a welfare check that will keep them trapped in poverty,” said Romney. “By providing support services and incentives where necessary, we want to give welfare recipients the opportunity to achieve independent and fulfilling lives.”
- “The welfare policies that Massachusetts instituted in 1995 were ahead of their time. But, the times have changed and we now lag behind the rest of the nation,” said Romney. “To help welfare recipients change their lives for the better, we need to update our laws.”
- “The prospect of $56 million in federal sanctions and the reality that the status quo dooms thousands of women and their children to a life of poverty should serve as a catalyst for change,” said Romney.
- “Work is an important and necessary part of life for all adults, and every member of our society should contribute to the level of his or her abilities,” said Romney in a letter delivered to legislative leadership today. “I believe in providing adequate supports and building in flexibility for individuals with disabilities and other barriers.”
- “We should ask that all adults participate in work activities to their fullest ability,” said Romney. “By lowering our expectations, we are potentially dooming people to a lifetime of dependency and poverty.”
- “As the Haleigh Poutre case demonstrates, errors in human judgment occur. What is unusual is how many people involved in Haleigh’s care – medical professionals, case workers and administrators from many disciplines – made errors. I welcome new systems and processes that will identify and guard against circumstances where human error may have severe consequences,” said Romney.
- “Exempting thousands of welfare recipients from a work requirement and loosely defining what constitutes work for others moves Massachusetts backwards from our commitment to help people attain self-sufficiency,” said Romney.
- “My amendments will help families in need of assistance and will move Massachusetts closer to federal standards,” said Romney.
- “Over a decade ago the Commonwealth and federal government embarked on a path to end ‘welfare-as-we-know-it,’ ” said Romney. “We must be careful not to revert back to ‘welfare-as-we-used-to-know-it,’ a failed social policy that perpetuates poverty.”
- "You may have noted, well you probably didn't see the little Boston Globe article. They didn't make a big deal out of it in the Boston Globe, but in the University of Albany they looked at all the states in the country and looked at all the senior positions to see how many were filled by men and women and it turned out that our state was ranked number one in the number of women in senior positions. Just over 50 percent. I'm most proud of that."
