mean enemy succeed
You cannot tell the enemy you're going to leave and expect the enemy to not - and expect to succeed. I mean, that's just a fundamental of warfare.
mean amnesty behavior
3 "amnesty" didn't mean rewarding illegal behavior.
believe twilight mean
Just because they broke the law doesn't mean they're condemned forever to a twilight status ... I believe that most Americans feel that for these people who have come illegally, as long as they pay back taxes, pay a fine, learn English and get behind everybody else, that's a key element of it. And most Americans now realize we can't have 11 million people sit in the twilight, the shadows of America, forever.
party believe mean
If you have a large bloc of Americans who believe you're trying to keep their ... fellow Hispanics down and deprive them of an opportunity, obviously that's going to have an effect...The Republican Party has failed to understand to a significant degree the importance of this issue to our Hispanic voters. I think the trend will continue of lack of support from Hispanic voters and also as you look at the demographics of states like mine, that means we will go from Republican to Democrat over time.
moving mean loss
That does not mean we won't experience the tragedy of the loss of some American lives. We will have an opportunity to instill a democracy in Iraq which will be an example and perhaps force other nations in that region to move in the same direction.
believe mean gun
I strongly support the Second Amendment and I believe the Second Amendment ought to be preserved - which means no gun control.

Complaints on the part of passengers are at an all time high, and I'm not sure that the trend in American airlines today is healthy for or beneficial to the American passenger.
cia concerned director failure fbi information lack obviously people president share sharing together work
I am concerned -- and I think most people are concerned -- about the lack of coordination between agencies, ... The failure to work together to share information -- they're doing that now, in fact. As we know, the CIA director and the FBI director are briefing the president every morning, so there were obviously breakdowns -- particularly in coordinating and sharing information.
people
We know that Medicare's going broke in seven years, but we need to start over. That's what the American people want us to do.
complete needed position ram realistic repeal review survey trying
On 'don't ask, don't tell' I was always the same. I said we needed a complete review of the impact on morale and battle effectiveness of 'don't ask, don't tell' before we repeal it. That's my position now. Now they're trying to ram through a repeal without a - any kind of really realistic survey done.
Do not yield. Do not flinch. Stand up. Stand up with our President and fight. We're Americans. We're Americans, and we'll never surrender. They will.
al certain date floor house motion pass
And, if we lost, then who win? Did Al Qaida win? When on the floor of the House of Representatives they cheer - they cheer - when they pass a withdrawal motion that is a certain date for surrender, what were they cheering? Surrender? Defeat?
deluded doubt necessity war
Only the most deluded of us could doubt the necessity of this war.
array base broad dormant great might period republican time views
The tea partiers are a great addition. The tea partiers have invigorated a base that has been dormant for a long period of time. We're going to have a broad array of different views in our Republican conference, and I think it might be more interesting than any I've been in in a long time.
