The Folks Who Want To Build This Mosque, Who Are Really Radical Islamists, Who Want To Triumphfully Prove They Can Build A Mosque Next To A Place Where 3,000 Americans Were Killed By Radical Islamists.

Nazis Don't Have The Right To Put Up A Sign Next To The Holocaust Museum In Washington. We Would Never Accept The Japanese Putting Up A Site Next To Pearl Harbor.

I Think Every Religious Person Should Have A Deep Sense Of Respect For Other People's Religious Documents And Religious Symbols Just As We Were Deeply Opposed To The Taliban Destroying The Two Historic Buddhas Which They Blew Up. So I Think We Ought To All Oppose Burning The Koran.

If We Really Care About Safety We Would Close Down Wikileaks. We Would Treat The People At Wikileaks As Enemy Combatants. We Would Declare That The Kind Of Thing This Private Did Is Treason.

People Matter More Than Wall Street.

Can We Drop A Little Bit Of The Pious Baloney? The Fact Is, You Ran In '94 And Lost. That's Why You Weren't Serving In The Senate With Rick Santorum. The Fact Is, You Had A Very Bad Re-election Rating, You Dropped Out Of Office, You Had Been Out Of State For Something Like 200 Days Preparing To Run For President. You Didn't Have This Interlude Of Citizenship While You Thought About What You Do. You Were Running For President While You Were Governor.
