symbolism differences add
Does it make all the difference in the world? No. But there's a great deal of symbolism associated with whether we're going to add $24 billion to the debt in unwanted and unnecessary pork-barrel projects.
children government order
Conservatives came to office to reduce the size of government and enlarge the sphere of free and private initiative. But lately we have increased government in order to stay in office. And, soon, if we don't remember why we were elected we will have lost our office along with our principles, and leave a mountain of debt that our children's grandchildren will suffer from long after we have departed this earth. Because, my friends, hypocrisy is the most obvious of sins, and the people will punish it.
real war differences
We are Americans first, Americans last, Americans always, ... Let us argue our differences. But remember we are not enemies, but comrades in a war against a real enemy.
war thinking giving
I think that Donald Rumsfeld will go down in history as one of the worst secretaries of defense in history. We are paying a very heavy price for the mismanagement - that's the kindest word I can give you - of Donald Rumsfeld, of this war.

Katrina did not declare a truce on Iraq.
thinking hands decision
I think that decisions should rest in the hands of the states. I'm a federalist.

Sarah Palin knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America.
want lasts members
The last thing members of the committee want to do is pass legislation.
memories enemy target
I am not haunted by memories of Vietnam. But I must admit I never thought we would again witness in my lifetime the specter of politicians picking targets and ruling out offensive measures in the absurd hope that the enemy would respond to our restraint by yielding to our demands.
colombia trade free-trade
Free trade with Colombia is something that's a no-brainer.
president vices united-states
I asked that I not be considered for vice president of the United States.
