party careers guy
If you're looking for someone to go to Washington, to go along to get along, to agree with the career politicians in both parties who get in bed with the lobbyists and special interests, then I ain't your guy.
thinking numbers america
America has receded from the world. Today our friends and allies don't trust us. And our enemies don't fear us. I think we should get back, number one, to American leadership in the world.
iran years america
Over the last years we've seen the consequences of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy. Leading from behind is a disaster. We have abandoned and alienated our friends and allies, and our enemies are stronger. Radical Islam is on the rise, Iran's on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon, China is waging cyber warfare against America.
iran office hostage
It is worth emphasizing that Iran released our hostages in 1981 the day Ronald Reagan was sworn into office.
christian mother jesus
I'm the son of a pastor and evangelist and I've described many times how my father, when I was a child, was an alcoholic. He was not a Christian. And my father left my mother and left me when I was just three years old.And someone invited him to Clay Road Baptist Church. And he gave his heart to Jesus and it turned him around. And he got on a plane and he flew back to my mother and me.
optimistic agreement numbers
I am long term optimistic and short term pessimistic on immigration. Long term, I'm optimistic because there's a lotta bipartisan agreement outside of Washington on immigration. There's overwhelming bipartisan agreement, number one, that we need to secure the borders. That we need to finally do something to stop illegal immigration.
religious fighting liberty
I have spent almost my entire adult life fighting to defend the religious liberty of every American to follow his or her faith and live according to his conscience.
lying light doors
I endeavor to shine a light on what's happening behind closed doors in the back-door deal making that so many Americans understand is going on but they don't quite understand how or why, but they know that our elected leaders are lying to us.
views steps public-opinion
The court doesn't follow public opinion. The court's views are radically out of step with public opinion.
opportunity dna liberty
The immigrant experience of all of us is what makes us Americans, because we value in our DNA liberty and opportunity above all else.
winning law light
What I endeavor to do is shine a light on what happens at the court, both as a law clerk and then as a litigator litigating and winning major cases in front of the Supreme Court over and over and over again.
islamic long president
We will not defeat radical Islamic terrorists as long as we have a president [Barack Obama] unwilling to utter the words 'radical Islamic terrorists'.
spouse
A lot of times your spouse sees things about you that you don't necessarily see.
obamacare government assets
If you're campaigning against ObamaCare, but you're also having to defend yourself for closing the government, that seems to take away the asset from you.
