The day that the leadership of the military comes to me and says, 'Senator, we ought to change the policy,' then I think we ought to consider seriously changing it.

I can't believe a guy that handsome wouldn't have some impact.
-
On the issue of the gay marriage, I believe if people want to have private ceremonies, that's fine. I do not believe that gay marriages should be legal.

Americans want jobs. They want affordable health insurance. They want an education.

I think it's important that the President of the United States consult as widely as possible with those who have different views so that he can - he or she - can make the most informed decisions.
-
I'd like to say to Mr. and Mrs. Khan: thank you for immigrating to America. We're a better country because of you. And you are certainly right; your son was the best of America, and the memory of his sacrifice will make us a better nation - and he will never be forgotten.
-
I would vote for a Muslim if he or she was the best candidate able to lead the country and defend our political values.
-
I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.
-
You have to listen to people that have chosen the nominee of our Republican Party. I think it would be foolish to ignore them.
-
I spent five and a half years in prison. The worst part was coming home and finding out Green Acres had been cancelled. What the hell was I fighting for?
-
You know, it's interesting for the president to say something that juvenile. I'm not picking on anyone. Again, as we just said, four Americans died! Is that picking on anybody when you want to place responsibility and find out what happened so that we can make sure it doesn't happen again?

As far as this business of solitary confinement goes, the most important thing for survival is communication with someone, even if it's only a wave or a wink, a tap on the wall, or to have a guy put his thumb up. It makes all the difference.

And we want a fight, and I will fight, but we will be respectful. I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments, I will respect him and I want- crowd boos No, no, I want everyone to be respectful, and let's make sure we are, because that's the way politics should be conducted in America.

The first telephones cost a thousand dollars and they were about that big! We all remember that!
-
If you want to preserve - I'm very serious now - if you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

I think - I’ll have my staff get to you. It’s condominiums where - I’ll have them get to you.
-
The core political values of our free society are so deeply embedded in our collective consciousness that only a few malcontents, lunatics generally, ever dare to threaten them.
-
Our national political campaigns never stop. We seem convinced that majorities exist to impose their will with few concessions and that minorities exist to prevent the party in power from doing anything important. That's not how we were meant to govern.
-
I believe that Carly Fiorina is a role model to millions of young American women. She started out as a part-time secretary and she ended up a CEO of one of the major corporations in America. I’m proud of her record and so I want everybody to know that Carly Fiorina is a person that I admire and respect.
-
I think that Fox News is a bit schizophrenic.

For Mr. Putin, vacillation invites aggression. His world is a brutish, cynical place, where power is worshiped, weakness is despised, and all rivalries are zero-sum.
