I don't believe Rush Limbaugh has a racist bone in his body.		414

Hillary Clinton wants a new title, and I would, too, if I already was secretary of the status quo.		507
We can choose a leader who will fight every day to make America great again.		508
When Donald Trump becomes president of the United States of America, the change will be... huge.		509
I watched my mom and dad build everything that matters - a family, a home and a good name.		510
Let's resolve here and now that Hillary Clinton will never become the president of the United States of America.		511
On the world stage, Donald Trump will lead from strength.		512
If you want a president who will upend the status quo in Washington, D.C., and appoint justices of the Supreme Court who will uphold the Constitution, we have but one choice, and that man is ready. This team is ready. Our party is ready and when we elect Donald Trump, the 45th president.		513
Together, we will make America great again.		514
My family and I couldn't be more happy for the opportunity to run with and serve with the next president of the United States.		515
I'm not against anybody.		516
The choice could not be more clear. Americans can elect someone who literally personifies the failed establishment in Washington, D.C., or we can choose a leader who will fight every day to Make America Great Again.		517
Donald Trump is a good man, and he will make a great president of the United States of America.		518
We cannot have four more years apologizing to our enemies and abandoning our friends.		519
I haven't agreed with every one of my Republican colleagues or Democratic colleagues on every issue. But I'm supporting Donald Trump because we need change in this country.		520
I grew up with a front row seat to the American dream.		521
The heroes of my childhood were Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy... but I was inspired by the ideals of our 40th president and became a Republican.		522
I just always believe that we should not reward people with citizenship whose first act in this country was a violation of the law. And I continue to hold that view.

There's overwhelming evidence... circumstantial and otherwise, to suggest a connection between Iraq and al Qaeda.		524
There is an enormous amount of evidence that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction, is doing his best to develop more lethal weapons, and funds and supports terrorism.		525
I think it's time for the media and our leaders to get real and start telling the truth about the impact of adultery on our national life.		526
What is real is that adultery destroys tens of thousands of families every year across America. What is real is that adultery scars tens of thousands of children emotionally and psychologically every year. What is real is that adultery is an open wound in a relationship which more often than not overflows into domestic violence or worse.		601

Standing at a Christian music festival in Asbury, Ky., in the spring of 1978, I gave my life to Jesus Christ, and that's changed everything.		604
It's a privilege to serve in Washington, D.C., but I never lose sight of what the Lord has called me to do in my life. And that is to be, first a husband, and then a father, and succeed there from His perspective, and He'll take care of everything else.		605
The Republican majority, left to its own devices from 1995 to 2000, was a party committed to limited government and restoring the balances of federalism with the states. Clearly, President Bush has had a different vision, and that vision has resulted in education and welfare policies that have increased the size and scope of government.		606
I think to the extent Republicans depart from the historic commitment, we do so at our peril.		607
Negative personal attacks have no place in public life and serve to erode public confidence in our basic institutions of government.		608
I am criticizing a culture that has sold the big lie that 'Mom doesn't matter.'		609
We should seriously rethink a tax code that makes it less and less possible for one parent to stay home with the kids and replace it with a family-friendly system of tax collection.		610
I was raised to believe in hard work, in faith and family.		611
The most important job I'll ever have is spelled D-A-D.		612

Saddam Hussein was a nightmare for the Iraqi people, and his execution marks the end of an era when violence against innocent men, women and children was a means to wealth and power.		614

America wins when we trade and export and import.		616
