pay conservative program
You can not be a conservative if you're going to keep promoting new programs that you're not going to pay for.
phones records persons
You can tell a person's religion 85 percent of the time from their phone records.
party independent winning
The key to winning any general election in the USA is to excite your base and then expand your base - get independent voters and voters who haven't been voting for your party to come to your party.
important defense pay
My belief has always been that national defense is the most important thing we do, but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it.
kids play trying
If I have a weakness, it's that I try to live by the rules. I try to live by the rules, no matter what they are, and I was brought up that way as a kid. Play by the rules.
qatar kuwait east
We shouldn't have a program where we just say that we're going to take care of the world's refugees. Nobody in the Middle East is doing anything. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait - all the Gulf nations are doing nothing.
mistake thinking government
To put everyone in government housing and food stamps and bring them in from around the world I think is a mistake. To give of your own money, I've given to my church. My church has helped people that came from Bosnia. That's a good thing.
debt dollars minutes
The greatest threat to our national security is our debt. We borrow a million dollars a minute.
country taken home
What my bill would do would be only for refugees going forward. So I haven't taken a position on sending anyone home. But I have taken the position that we have a lot of problems here in our country. And that one of the things that we do - charity is about giving your own money. Charity isn't giving someone else's money.
shoes office trying
I`m here in Whoopi Goldberg`s office trying to choose some shoes. We`ve seen [Marco] Rubio has those cool new boots and I don`t want to be outdone.
should-have president answers
When I asked the president [Barack Obama], can you kill an American on American soil, it should have been an easy answer. It's an easy question. It should have been a resounding and unequivocal no. The president's response, he hasn't killed anyone yet.
party thinking government
I went to my first national convention in 1976, when my family supported [Ronald] Reagan over [Gerald] Ford, so we've always been Republicans, but we've always wanted the Republican Party to be the party of fiscally conservative, limited-government types. And I think, sometimes, we haven't done that as well.
islamic thinking evil
I think we can all agree [Bashar] Assad is a bad and evil actor, but I'm not so sure that we want the Islamic rebels to be in charge of Syria either.
president may effects
The president's rattling the saber and beating the drums may have an effect.
