nice upset would-be
It would be nice if Patrick Murphy was half as upset about Democrats removing God and Jerusalem from their platform, or booing when they were added back in, as he is pretending to be about our new tv ad which simply points out what happened.
integrity believe humility
We believe in humility and integrity, the spirit of one people, bound together under God. We understand that the Constitution was written to control and regulate the government, not the people.
education army opportunity
A person like myself, born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia, to lower-middle-class parents. But I had the opportunity to get an education, to go and earn a commission in the United States Army, to serve for 22 years, to lead men and women in combat.
military party views
When I retired out of the military, I registered myself as a Republican because my views and perspectives were more in line with that party.
thinking gains income
I think that Governor Romney operates on the capital gains tax, his investments, what he lives off of instead of doing it off of his income.
integrity republic prejudice
The republic I fell in love with, the republic I risked my life to defend, the values I hold dear, the integrity that we all share - these do not know prejudice and they do not accept partiality.
military years levels
I spent 22 years in the United States military, so I'm a pretty strategic level thinker.
pride men thinking
I don't look to a man to get pride in myself. It's not about having a black president, it's about having a good president, and I think that's the most important thing.
suicide thinking tolerance
I think we have to understand that when tolerance becomes a one-way street, it will lead to cultural suicide. We should not allow the Muslim Brotherhood or associated groups to be influencing our national security strategy.
dog boko-haram scandal
Are we witnessing an Obama 'Wag the Dog' moment with Boko Haram in Nigeria? I say yes. Consider all the scandals facing the Obama administration, especially Benghazi and the Select Committee.
thinking
I don't think there's anything divisive about me.
brother compassion choices
Compassion comes from a choice and not the liberal definition of a choice - the choice to say I can do with a little less so my brother can have a little more.
hands take-my-hand medicare
I will take my hands off Medicare when there is no Medicare, then I will come and see you sir.
rights civil-rights legislation
It was the Democrats who were against civil rights legislation
