issues meat politics record
I think issues and substance, policy and vision and record should be the meat of politics.
issues decision speak
I'm a big believer that good policy is good politics. And so, when it comes to making decisions on policy issues, what I endeavor to do is simply speak the truth.
night issues tuesday
It is my hope that all of the Republicans who recognize that nominating a candidate who agrees with Hillary Clinton on a host of issues, who has a very similar record, is not the path to victory. And if we come together, if conservatives stand together, we're going to have a great night on Tuesday.
mean issues guy
A debate actually is a policy issue but I will say this - gosh, if you guys ask one more mean question, I may have to leave the stage.
military real issues
There's a real danger when people get distracted by peripheral issues. They get distracted by democracy building. They get distracted about military conflicts. We need to focus on defeating jihadism.
thinking issues people
I think that's a question for South Carolin and the last thing they need is people from outside the state coming in and dictating how they should resolve that issue [about flag].
counted good john
I like John McCain. He can always be counted on for a good quote.
declare rests war
The authority to declare war rests in Congress, not in an out-of-control president.
bad federal government
The federal government has not been effective enough monitoring and surveilling bad guys.
I'm not serving in office because I desperately needed 99 new friends in the U.S. Senate.
cool hang ted
I'm not cool enough to hang out with any rock stars. Jay-Z doesn't come over to my house. I don't hang out with Ted Nugent.
block democrats house introduced passed prohibit senate stood took
I introduced legislation in the Senate to prohibit President Obama's amnesty. The House of Representatives stood up and led. It took the legislation I introduced and it passed it. But the Senate Democrats stood as one uniform block and said, 'No, we will do nothing to stop amnesty.'
agree foreign good rand
I'm a big fan of Rand Paul; he and I are good friends. I don't agree with him on foreign policy.
No major entitlement, once it has been implemented, has ever been unwound.
