We’ve got fifty people at Gitmo that are too dangerous to be let go that will never go through a normal criminal trial. Let’s create a new legal system, so they’ll have their day in court.
Conservatives have a different view of a lot of issues versus our friends on the other side. The election determines how that shakes out.
There’s a lot of things we can do to balance out what Obama’s done and going forward show the American people the Republican Party can govern. I want a coalition of tea party people, independents, moderate Democrats trying to find a way to move this country forward before we become Greece.
I am confident – very confident – that if I help solve this problem in a way that we won’t have 20 million illegal immigrants 20 years from now, not only will I get re-elected, I can look back and say I was involved in something that was important.
I dare say there may be some men and women in the Armed Forces who are so decent that they would say: Give the Iraqi people money, we do not want to be paid back. That is the strength of our country.
Social Security must be preserved and strengthened. But we need to be candid about the costs and willing to make the tough choices that real reform will require.

I think as people find out about my foreign policy, what they’re going to find out is that I’m right in the mainstream of the Republican Party. I believe the number one priority of the federal government is national defense.

I think most Americans understand that radical Islam can’t be compromised with or appeased. And the only way we can be safe is to form partnerships over there that will protect us over here.
The Iranians have shared every weapon they’ve ever developed with terrorist organizations. I fear they would share nuclear technology with a terrorist organization that would one day come here.
I think the best thing, if you can’t get an air-tight deal with every “I” dotted and every “t” crossed is let the next president have a chance to deal with the Iranians.
I think the American people pretty well understand that radical Islam has an agenda that includes us.
