The problem we've got now in Washington is that the goals are completely the opposite from each other.

So, the point I'm making is, we are not going to cut spending in Washington if we think it's the job of every congressman and senators to pave local parking lots and build local sewer plants. These parochial interests are getting in the way of the national interests.

Democrats have chosen not to defend the Marine Corps, but to pander to anti-war protesters and Berkeley officials that are actively trying to impede military recruitment.

Select candidates by integrity of character, not promises.

I can tell you if you look at the polls, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, they do not think we should increase the debt limit.

I don't think we need to extend unemployment any further without paying for it, and without making some modifications such as turning it into a loan at some point. It then encourages people to go back to work.

We know from our own history that democratic institutions take decades to mature, and we know from past conflicts that freedom is not free.
