addresses sides republican
Both sides of the aisle - Republican and Democrat - have been unwilling and afraid to address the deficit, and someone's got to.
country thinking adequate
I don't think we're doing an adequate vetting process of those who are coming to our country.
home fighting night
I will continue to fight for legislation that forces Congress to read the bills! I will fight for a vote on my bill that calls for a waiting period for each page of legislation. I will continue to object when Congress sticks special interest riders on bills in the dead of night! And if Congress refuses to obey its own rules, if Congress refuses to pass a budget, if Congress refuses to read the bills, then I say: Sweep the place clean. Limit their terms and send them home!
war thinking president
I think this sets a very bad precedent, the president unilaterally on his own starting war without any consent from Congress.
thinking care slave
[I]f you think you have the right to health care, you are saying basically that I am your slave. I provide health care. ... My staff and technicians provide it. ... If you have a right to health care, then you have a right to their labor.
support majority aids
Foreign aid is not something the vast majority of Americans support, but definitely not conservatives.
real war cutting
I just can't vote to go to war unless I think there's a real clear-cut American purpose in the war, that we're going to win and that we're not going fight for stalemate.
government doe restaurants
Does the owner of the restaurant own his restaurant? Or does the government own his restaurant?
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.
