I Don’t Spend A Lot Of Time

I Can Think Of A Lot Of Words To Describe Senator Kerry's Position On Iraq; "consistent" Is Not One Of Them.

I Reached A Point Towards The End On The Old Heart Where I Had Trouble Getting Out Of A Chair. All I Wanted To Do Was Get Out Of Bed In The Morning And Walk To My Office And Sit Back Down In The Chair. Now I Throw 50 Pound Bags Of Horse Feed In The Back Of My Pickup Truck And I Don't Even Think About It. I'm Back Doing Those Things.

After 9/11 We Were Prepared To Use Military Force. We Were Prepared To Go After Not Only The Terrorists, But Those Who Sponsor Terror And Provide Sanctuary And Safe Harbor For Them. We Were Prepared To Use Our Intelligence Assets The Way We Would Against An Enemy That Threatened The United States Itself, To Put In Place, For Example, Things Like The Terror Surveillance Program And To Have A Robust Interrogation Program On Detainees. Those Are The Acts You Take When You Feel You're At War And That The Very Existence Of The Nation Is Threatened.

I Got Sick, Hospitalized, Had No Insurance. And The Money I Had Saved For Our Honeymoon Went To Pay Medical Bills. So I Had Been In The Position Of Not Having Insurance When I Needed Health Care.

It's Very Important To Go Back And Keep In Mind The Distinction Between Handling These Events As Criminal Acts, Which Was The Way We Did Before 9/11, And Then Looking At 9/11 And Saying, 'this Is Not A Criminal Act,' Not When You Destroy 16 Acres Of Manhattan, Kill 3,000 Americans, Blow A Big Hole In The Pentagon. That's An Act Of War.
