children believe people
There are 11 million people living in the shadows. I believe they deserve to come out of the shadows. The children who are brought here when they were children, they deserve that kind of consideration as well.
believe years people
I have known Trent Lott for 20 years, ... I don't believe he's racist. But he must proactively send a message to his colleagues in the Senate and the American people that he is absolutely opposed to any segregation in any form and racism in any form and discrimination in any form.
average speech citizens
If money is free speech, the big interests are sitting in front with megaphones and the average citizens are sitting in the back.
military defense purpose
He was a superb military officer but he was also an extraordinarily gifted politician. That he was an unusually open, honest and no-nonsense politician did not make him unsuited for the profession, only uncommon. In uniform and in politics Barry's purpose was always the defense of freedom. And nobody before or since managed the task more ably or more colorfully than Barry Goldwater.
pain war ideas
Subjecting prisoners to abuse leads to bad intelligence because under torture a detainee will tell his interrogator anything to make the pain stop, ... Second, mistreatment of our prisoners endangers U.S. troops who might be captured by the enemy. ... And third, prisoner abuses exact on us a terrible toll in the war of ideas because inevitably these abuses become public.
mother progress events
But I'm still a work in progress. My mother calls me quite frequently with various critiques of my performance on TV and other public events. She's usually pretty severe with her comments.
mother thank-god united-states
The smartest person in the United States Senate, and he knows it, is John Sununu. Thank God he had his mother's temperament.
running country blessed
I'm not running for president because I think I'm blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need. My country saved me. My country saved me, and I cannot forget it. And I will fight for her for as long as I draw breath, so help me God.
hate radio cables
Now we've got the cables. We've got talk radio. We've got the bloggers. I hate the bloggers.
order ideas people
Torture gives you reliable and unreliable information. That's the reason why most people in the world don't do it. So this idea that you have to torture people in order to protect national security is a false argument, and I reject it.
subsidies care pork
I'm ashamed that Congress finds billions for pork-barrel subsidies but fails to find money for veterans' health care.
thinking social protect
I just think that we ought to protect the Social Security fund.
sports fun play
I watch sports all the time. My wife Cindy says I would watch the thumb-suckers play the bed-wetters. I watch all sports and I enjoy all sports. It's been great fun in my life and a great diversion.
views two different
The benefit of an open town hall meeting is one that you get to hear a lot of different views, and two it has credibility.
