This flirtation with isolationism in the Republican party is over. It's giving way to a more muscular foreign policy than I've been advocating. But I'm also advocating building up others. Build a small schoolhouse in Afghanistan to help a poor young girl have a say about her children will destroy the ideology more than a bomb.

I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.

I won't support any budget, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat budget, that doesn't lead to balance.

I think we ought to quit sending [help] to countries that burn our flag.

Bipartisanship is not what is missing in Washington. Common sense is.

What my bill would do would be only for refugees going forward. So I haven't taken a position on sending anyone home. But I have taken the position that we have a lot of problems here in our country. And that one of the things that we do - charity is about giving your own money. Charity isn't giving someone else's money.

I think Republicans will not win again in my lifetime ... unless they become a new GOP, a new Republican Party. And it has to be a transformation. Not a little tweaking at the edges.
