added card playing
In some ways, they've added one more card to their playing hand.
jobs opportunity investment
There can't be opportunity or jobs without investment and profit.
writing years skills
If a 25-year old can't read and write and he or she isn't gaining marketable skills, it doesn't matter if a Republican or a Democrat is in the White House. His or her future will be bleak.
community problem hungry
Americans are hungry for a discussion on policy solutions to the problems in their communities that work.
children school writing
We need to make sure that every child in America goes to a school every day that is safe, will teach them how to read and write, do arithmetic and gain the computer skills necessary to allow them to compete in the global marketplace. If we can get that through the public schools, fine. If we can't, I'm all for parental choice in education to allow that parent to take his/her/their child to a school that is safe and teaches them, even if it is a faith-based school!
teacher children believe
I believe government should be loyal to parents, teachers and children.
color issues community
Education is a bipartisan issue that concern all communities of color and should be first, last and always about the student learning.
thinking voice community
Republicans think that the NAACP is the only voice in the black community. It is a voice in the black community. But it's not the only voice.
house trying foundation
Having a Republican candidate speak at the NAACP convention is like trying to build a house starting at the roof. If you don't have a foundation, the roof isn't going to stand.
white people black
You always hear 'black Republican,' but you never hear 'white Democrat.' We've got to get beyond the labels and stereotypes. Other people have hang-ups about it. I don't.
country jobs talking
Consider in Washington, around the country today we are talking about balanced budgets, paying down our national debt, getting the economy going, defending ourselves, activist judges. Newt Gingrich did all those things when he was speaker. We got tax relief. We got balanced budgets. We got, you know, job creation. We paid down our national debt.
party games community
For longer than I've been involved in the political process, the Republican establishment has claimed to want to provide an alternative for the black community, yet party elite refuse to show up for the game.
character thinking color
I am willing to compete on my merits and on my character - not with the color of my skin. We talk about being a color-blind society, but I don't think the political process could actually handle that.
dream country people
One of the Republicans' major products is dream making. People are dying to get into this country... not out of it.
