losing protect losing-ourselves
We must protect ourselves from jihadis without losing ourselves.
party winning reality
I think Republicans will not win again in my lifetime ... unless they become a new GOP, a new Republican Party. And it has to be a transformation. Not a little tweaking at the edges.
military cutting republican
Republicans traditionally say, 'oh, we'll cut domestic spending, but we won't touch the military.' The liberals - the ones who are good - will say, 'oh, we'll cut the military, but we won't cut domestic spending.'
daughter war son
I think there's evil on both sides [of Syria], and I think that's one reason I don't want to be involved in civil war. I see things in personal terms. I just can't see sending one of my sons - or your son or daughter - to fight in a civil war, where on one side we have a dictator, who in all likelihood gassed his people.
government size needs
We don't need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government.
government bully care
I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, there is something profoundly un-American about using the brute force of government to bully someone.
war kids people
I tell people I won't vote to go to war unless I'm ready to go or send my kids.
fall winning thinking
I think you'll find that these are measures that have great bipartisan support, and so I expect, not only did we do well in the primary, I think we'll win by a wide margin in the fall because we're going to get a lot of independents and conservative Democrats coming to us.
taken way republican
We as Republicans have taken the easy way out a lot of times.
strong war world
You can be strong without being involved in every single civil war around the world.
revolution amendments fourth-amendment
The Fourth Amendment was what we fought the revolution over!
party thinking government
I think we have a Tea Party mandate, and that Tea Party mandate is for good-government type of things, things like term limits, things like a balanced budget amendment, things like read the bills for goodness sakes, things like that maybe Congress should only pass legislation that they apply to themselves as well.
war law needs
The main thing I say on war is that we need to obey the law and formally declare war.
saving curious claims
It's curious that only in Washington can you spend $2 billion and claim that you're saving money.
