I Think It's Fair To

I'm Often Asked Why I Left Politics And Went To Halliburton And I Explain That I Reached The Point Where I Was Mean-spirited, Short-tempered And Intolerant Of Those Who Disagreed With Me And They Said 'hell, You'd Make A Great Ceo', So I Went To Texas And Joined The Private Sector.

I Believe That Marriage Is Between A Man And A Woman. But I Also Believe That Gay And Lesbians And Gay And Lesbian Couples, Those Who Have Been In Long-term Relationships, Deserve To Be Treated Respectfully, They Deserve To Have Benefits.

I Think That Freedom Means Freedom For Everyone. As Many Of You Know, One Of My Daughters Is Gay And It Is Something We Have Lived With For A Long Time In Our Family. I Think People Ought To Be Free To Enter Into Any Kind Of Union They Wish. Any Kind Of Arrangement They Wish.

To Bring The Worst Of The Worst Terrorists Inside The United States Would Be Cause For Great Danger And Regret In The Years To Come. It Is Recklessness Cloaked In Righteousness, And Would Make The American People Less Safe.

I Feel Very Strongly That The Significance Of 9/11 Cannot Be Underestimated. It Forces Us To Think In New Ways About Strategy, About National Security, About How We Structure Our Forces And About How We Use U.s. Military Power.
