strong believe israel
I don't disagree with Senator Paul's position that we shouldn't be funding our enemies. But I absolutely believe that Israel is a priority to be able to fund and keep them strong and safe after eight years of this administration.
strong thinking people
I think what the American people want more than anything else is a strong and decisive leader.
military america stronger
The first thing we need to do to make America stronger is to strengthen our military.
running strong war
No wonder nobody around the world is nervous about America anymore. No wonder we're not intimidating our adversaries and they're running around wild in the world, because they know we're not investing in our defense anymore. We need to make or military strong, not to wage war, but to avoid war and to bring peace and stability in the world.
strong greatness america
You need a strong, tough leader to restore America`s greatness. This is the best person to do that.
strong president needs
What we need in Washington now is a strong Republican president who knows how to govern.
strong past bills
And on this you have my pledge - unlike in the past, when you stood up and did what was right, this governor will not pull the rug out from underneath you - I will sign strong reform bills.
attorney concerns family given hands last loved members muslim post radical sorrow taken understand upset
Given my last position, that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New Jersey, I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists. And their sensitivities and concerns have to be taken into account.
fathers founding greater needed passions popularity principles rooted social strengths wisdom
Now our founding fathers had the wisdom to know that social acceptance and popularity were fleeing, and that this country's principles needed to be rooted in strengths greater than the passions and the emotions of the times.
collective interests national pay price special win
We pay a price when special interests win out over the collective national interest.
boulevard core exists people
I've always said there is a boulevard that exists between compromising your principles and getting everything you want. Now, we should never compromise our principles. And I never have. Those are the things that people vote for you on, that's the core of who you are. But there's always a boulevard between that and getting everything you want.
wall spirit determined
I know the human spirit. I haven't found a wall that can be built that a determined human being can't get over, under or around.
personality littles grows
As we all grow and we get older, there are always little changes about our personality that happen.
running country religious
When people run a business and open their door to the public, they must serve the public. That doesn't mean they can't say whatever they want to say. It doesn't mean they can't believe whatever they want to believe. Those are protected also. But businesses must serve the public. And that's a principle that we fought for in this country over many, many decades, when some were invoking religious freedom as an excuse to deny people on the basis of their race, on the basis of their religion, on the basis of sex and on the basis now of sexual orientation. Let's not confuse one thing with the other.
