Almost every hour, there's some new request that's coming and we're immediately filling every one of them. We will not hesitate to send any and every resource.
I liked gravy poured on top of a big glob of mashed potatoes, I liked biscuits a lot, and a lot of them. I liked going to the state fair and having a fried Twinkie. They were my choices. They were bad choices.
The churches are really acting like churches, ... It has been impressive to me that when we thought about moving certain state resources and assets to an area, the local communities often beat us to the punch.
I would hope that we would treat these funds as help for health-related problems for our citizens, not a bonanza of bucks for politicians to fund pet projects.
If the state surplus is used in part or in whole for this, it will have been used for as valid a need as we've ever had,

If the government can't track illegals, then let's outsource the job to UPS or FedEx.
A healthier, less impoverished planet is good for all of us. From an economic standpoint, it allows people to contribute more to the marketplace and lead productive lives. U.S. foreign assistance opens new markets to U.S. goods and services and creates new trading partners and allies.
I'm still one who says that we can get rid of the Internal Revenue Service if we would pass the fair tax, which is a tax on consumption rather than a tax on people's income, and move power back where the founders believed it should have been all along.
I think that, that it would be hard for New Hampshire to vote for somebody who was a fundamentalist minister, affable as he is. He does seem to actually want to write, for example, a prohibition against abortion into the Constitution , which Ronald Reagan, for all his talking about it, never tried to do one time.
