they know my blunt way of speaking. I get that from Mom. They know I sometimes mangle the English language. I get that from Dad. Americans also know I tell you exactly what I'm going to do, and I keep my word.

You're not going to have fiscal sanity if John Kerry is the president.

Our goal is not to reduce terror to some acceptable level of nuisance. Our goal is to defeat terror by staying on the offensive, destroying terrorist networks.

Embryonic stem cell research requires the destruction of life to create a stem cell.
