"Not a single young American is fighting or dying on any foreign battlefield tonight, and they won't."

"It is essential to our security to go forward with the production of this new aircraft, which has met and surpassed every test to date."

"I stand on your side for limited government, for fiscal responsibility, for rising prosperity, for lower taxes, for military strength, for peace in the world."
