Do you hate poor people or do you just hate poor people with jobs?

If I were to look at foreign policy, I would say John McCain has been wrong on just about everything over the last four decades.

We need a Republican Party that shows up on the South side of Chicago and shouts at the top of our lungs, 'We are the party of jobs and opportunity! The GOP is the ticket to the middle class.

I am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government.

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.

When I asked the president [Barack Obama], can you kill an American on American soil, it should have been an easy answer. It's an easy question. It should have been a resounding and unequivocal no. The president's response, he hasn't killed anyone yet.

My belief has always been that national defense is the most important thing we do, but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it.
