iraq war women
You want to see a war on women? Come with me to Iraq and Afghanistan, folks. I've been there 35 times. I will show you what they do to women.
All we want to do is tell the story,
defense department holding hostage knock
This idea of holding the Defense Department hostage to the tax debate makes me sick to my stomach. Knock it off.
allegiance lawyer life lived man particular
the kind of man you were, how you lived your life, what kind of lawyer you were, not your allegiance to a particular cause.
party thinking president
I think I've done more right than wrong on foreign policy. I've criticized the president for being weak and indecisive. I've been a problem solver in Washington and I think I've got something to offer the party and nation.
giving people debt
I'm for Simpson-Bowles. It doesn't raise taxes, it closes loopholes and takes the money we would give to a few people and put it on the debt
debt problem taxes
I'm for eliminating deductions and taking some of the money to buy down rates and put it on the debt. That's not raising taxes. That's solving a problem.
retirement mean people
We have to adjust the age retirement for younger people. People of my income level are going to have to have their benefits means-tested. Democrats are going to want a simpler tax code.

I think the worst thing in the world is to have the courts decide who to target in the war on terrorism. And courts are not military commanders.

thinking president needs
The next president of the United States needs to figure one thing out quickly - how to be commander in chief. And I think I could do that.
way my-way coronation
I don't see any coronation coming my way
country president looks
I want a president who'll look out for American interests. Every treaty we sign has a provision that a president of the United States , if he or she concludes that it's no longer in the interest of the country should step back from it.
believe party thinking
I think as people find out about my foreign policy, what they're going to find out is that I'm right in the mainstream of the Republican Party. I believe the number one priority of the federal government is national defense.
