war law needs
The main thing I say on war is that we need to obey the law and formally declare war.
believe trying figures
I'm not someone who's sort of still trying to figure out what I believe in.
thinking internet certain
I think if we ban certain religions, if we censor the Internet, I think that at that point the terrorists will have won.
america realizing conventions
If you are going to kill the families of terrorists, realize that there's something called the Geneva Convention we're going to have to pull out of. It would defy every norm that is America.
real gun people
I would pay to have those adjudications enrolled into the federal background system so we could detect people who are mentally ill before they buy a gun. That is a real problem.
thinking israel risk
Every chance at destabilizing [Bashar] Assad... the bombing campaign causes a flood of refugees into Jordan, there's already half a million in Jordan. I think a bombing campaign - I think it's hard to argue that a U.S. bombing campaign is going to cause less refugees. And I think it causes more refugees and more of a humanitarian disaster. I think it causes, or allows, the risk of Israel being attacked with a gas attack to go up, if we attack Assad. So there's all kinds of bad things.
self russia peaceful
The more we can have peaceful trade both with Russia, with China, and with others, you know, there's a self interest in this for everyone.
believe historic man marriage nature religious
I believe that in the historic and religious nature, marriage is between a man and a woman.
believe growth promise
The Republican promise is for policies that create economic growth. Republicans believe lower taxes, less regulation, balanced budgets, a solvent Social Security and Medicare will stimulate economic growth.
