“Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, whether you are a liberal or a conservative, we know that neither this President nor prior Presidents of both parties did everything right or we would not have had a 9/11.”

All we ask for is registration, just like we do for cars.

It is essential that all Americans take the time to honor and remember those individuals who gave their lives in defense of our liberty.

America is a place where we all come together. It is a place of consensus.

So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it’s a better education overall.

The bottom line is very simple. You negotiate on this, they will up the ante for the debt ceiling.

If you have a sharp bold economic message, you can unite everybody.

We’re going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legislative strategy! We’re going to beat guns into submission!

In a brave new world, a post-September 11 world, anyone is going to make certain mistakes. The mistakes that have been made on homeland security, on protecting our Nation from another terrorist attack, are mistakes of omission. We are simply not doing enough.

The best conservation always happens at midnight.

Too much agreement kills chat.
