Just Because They Broke The Law Doesn't Mean They're Condemned Forever To A Twilight Status. So, I Think That Most Americans, If These People Who Have Come Illegally, As Long As They Pay Back Taxes, Pay A Fine, Learn English And Get Behind Everybody Else, That's A Key Element Of It. And Most Americans Now Realize We Can't Have 11 Million People Sit In The Twilight - The Shadows Of America, Forever.

This Is The Free Enterprise System. The Only Place In The World That I Can Recall Where Companies Never Failed Was The Old Soviet Union. This Is What Investors Do In Free Enterprise And Capitalism System. [...[ And, Yes, Free Enterprise System Can Be Cruel.

War Is Awful. Nothing, Not The Valor With Which It Is Fought Nor The Nobility Of The Cause It Serves, Can Glorify War. War Is Wretched Beyond Description And Only A Fool Or A Fraud Could Sentimentalize Its Cruel Reality. Whatever Is Won In War, It Is Loss The Veteran Remembers.

[vladimir] Putin Supporting Bashar Al-assad, Helping With The Syrian Refugee Crisis And, I Think For Any Republican, He [donald Trump] Has Got To Stop Saying This, Because I Was With Him. I Was With Him And He Said That, It Was Like, I'm Out. I'm Out. It's Too Crazy.

Conservatives Came To Office To Reduce The Size Of Government And Enlarge The Sphere Of Free And Private Initiative. But Lately We Have Increased Government In Order To Stay In Office. And, Soon, If We Don't Remember Why We Were Elected We Will Have Lost Our Office Along With Our Principles, And Leave A Mountain Of Debt That Our Children's Grandchildren Will Suffer From Long After We Have Departed This Earth. Because, My Friends, Hypocrisy Is The Most Obvious Of Sins, And The People Will Punish It.

I Cannot In Good Conscience Vote In Favor Of Tax Cuts, Irrespective Of Their Size, Or To Which Segment Of The Population They Are Targeted. Nor Can I Support Any Spending Increases That Are Not Related To Improving Our Nation's Defense From The Obvious And Serious Threats Facing Us Today.

I Spent Five And A Half Years In Prison. The Worst Part Was Coming Home And Finding Out Green Acres Had Been Cancelled. What The Hell Was I Fighting For?

In Our Blessed And Mostly Peaceful Society We're Not As Familiar With Courage As We Once Were. We Ascribe The Virtue To All Manner Of Endeavors That Only Really Require Skill, Fortitude And A Little Daring, The Qualities Pat Tillman Showed On The Football Field.

Our Enemies Didn't Adhere To The Geneva Convention. Many Of My Comrades Were Subjected To Very Cruel, Very Inhumane And Degrading Treatment, A Few Of Them Even Unto Death.

I Say That The United States Of America Is A Unique Experiment In History. I Believe In American Exceptionalism. I Wasn't For Sending Ground Forces Into Libya.

They Look To America For Inspiration And Leadership.

I've Lost Confidence That He Has Any Understanding Of The National Security Responsibilities Of A President... [b]ecause I Don't Believe That He Has Any Understanding Of The International Role That The United States Has To Play In The World. I Think It's A Kind Of A Pseudo-isolationism That Appeals To The Base Of The Caucus Voters.

And So Far They Have Paid A Little Or No Penalty For All Of This Misbehavior.

I Didn't Decide To Run For President To Start A National Crusade For The Political Reforms I Believed In, Or To Run A Campaign As If It Were Some Grand Act Of Patriotism. In Truth, I Wanted To Be President Because It Had Become My Ambition To Be President.

I'm Very Optimistic About My Home State Of Arizona...

We Have Many Advantages In The Fight Against Global Warming, But Time Is Not One Of Them. Instead Of Idly Debating The Precise Extent Of Global Warming, Or The Precise Timeline Of Global Warming, We Need To Deal With The Central Facts Of Rising Temperatures, Rising Waters, And All The Endless Troubles That Global Warming Will Bring.
