I Have Had A Strong And A Long Relationship On National Security, I've Been Involved In Every National Crisis That This Nation Has Faced Since Beirut, I Understand The Issues, I Understand And Appreciate The Enormity Of The Challenge We Face From Radical Islamic Extremism.

I Am A Republican. I'm Loyal To The Party Of Abraham Lincoln And Theodore Roosevelt. And I Believe That My Party, In Some Ways, Has Strayed From Those Principles, Particularly On The Issue Of Fiscal Discipline.
