fighting eight amnesty
I have never supported amnesty, and I led the fight against Chuck Schumer's gang of eight amnesty legislation in the Senate.
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.
father fighting liberty
My father fled Cuba, and I will fight to defend liberty because my family knows what it's like to lose it.
kids fighting debt
I'll fight with every breath in my body to stop the out of control spending and debt that are bankrupting our kids and grandkids.
fighting thinking campaigns
I think that is why we're seeing conservatives uniting behind our campaign, because I have a proven record as a consistent conservative of standing up to Washington and fighting for the constitution.
jobs fighting race
If you want a candidate who is led the fight against Obamacare, who will lift the burdens on small businesses and bring back jobs, I'm the only candidate in the race with that proven record.
dog islamic fighting
I'll tell you whose view on [Bashar] Assad is the same as mine. It's Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu. Prime Minister Netanyahu has said Israel doesn't have a dog in that fight because Assad is a puppet of Iran, a Shia radical Islamic terrorist, but at the same time, Prime Minister Netanyahu doesn't want to see Syria governed by ISIS.
fighting government people
Marco Rubio was fighting to grant amnesty and not to secure the border, I was fighting to secure the border. And this also goes to trust, listening on to campaign trails. Candidates all the time make promises. You know, Marco said," he learned that the American people didn't trust the federal government."
fighting air isis
We need to use overwhelming air power. We need to be arming the Kurds. We need to be fighting and killing ISIS where they are.
country new-york fighting
I think we need to be fighting for the working men and women of this country, not the moneyed New York interests.
country strong fighting
The issues that I think matter, that I think resonate with the voters are, No. 1, defending our freedoms, defending the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. No. 2, lifting the boot of Washington off of the back of the necks of small businesses so that people can have jobs again, wages can come back again, fighting for the working class, you are getting hammered by Washington. And, No. 3, keeping this country safe, a strong commander in chief we can trust to keep us safe. That's what I'm looking for.
fighting constitution whole-life
I've spent my whole life fighting for free-market principles and the Constitution. That's not going to change.
leadership party fighting
Three of the last four [elections], '06, '08, and '12, were disastrous for Republicans. And they were years in which we just we stayed quiet, we went along the get-along, we didn't stand on principle. The only year that was a good year for Republicans was 2010, when we painted in bold colors, not in pale pastels. We stood for principle. I think winning this fight right now is the most important thing we can do to see significant victories in 2014.
fighting liberty
I will fight to defend liberty.
