But the fact is that the vast majority of Republicans support the Sinn Fein leadership.

The Irish Republican Army has kept every commitment made by its leadership.

We have a tremendous lack of knowledge of how far we have gotten away from the Constitution of the United States. Democrats and Republicans alike have taken us away from the original intent. You see I believe in this document as our founding fathers intended it.

Knowledge is power. Most of us agree that something has to be done to strengthen Social Security and I believe it's irresponsible to arbitrarily dismiss any idea Republican nor Democrat without giving it a hard look.

The security of the United States which is so dependent on having accurate and timely intelligence is not a Republican or a Democratic issue.

Here again as I conceive gentlemen forget that this government is a republican one resting exclusively in the intelligence and virtue of the People.

Republics are created by the virtue public spirit and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people in order to betray them.

Democratic politicians have disliked things I've written Republican politicians... if they all love you you might as well be driving a Good Humor truck.

There are no ideas in the Republican Party right now in the Congress. They're the party of no. They desperately need some intellectual leadership. And whatever you think of Newt Gingrich he can supply intellectual leadership. So I hope he does run.

House and Senate Republicans are now united in adopting earmark bans. We hope President Obama will follow through on his support for an earmark ban by pressing Democratic leaders to join House and Senate Republicans in taking this critical step to restore public trust.
