I am who I am. I'm going to speak my mind.

While I think the earth is warming, I don't think that man-made causes are the primary factor.

I don't believe in deadlines, I don't believe in telling the enemy when we're going to withdraw.

We've got to make sure our younger workers understand that as life expectancy increases, the retirement date for benefits increases also.

A consumption tax, a national sales tax makes some sense. But I think that if we move towards a Fair Tax, if we move towards a national sales tax, we have to make sure that we do away with the income tax.

I think we need to make sure that we are putting Social Security on a sustainable path. It's absolutely something that the federal government is going to be involved in, in the future.

What I have said is that I think the federal government and we as a society have come too far in trying to separate good organizations that perform good functions for people just based on the fact one has a religious association and one doesn't.
