Moral Certainty, Clear Standards, And A Commitment

I Believe As Well That - That American Strength Is - Is Essential Economic Strength, Family And Value Strength, Military Strength Is Essential For Our Own Good That These Things Not Only Help Secure Peace For Other People But Preserve Peace For Us And - And Promise Greater Prosperity For America.

I Feel Very Deeply About The Need To Respect And Tolerate People Of Different Social - Or Sexual Orientation. But At The Same Time, I Believe Marriage Should Be Preserved As An Institution For One Man And One Woman.

As President, My Goal In Afghanistan Will Be To Complete A Successful Transition To Afghan Security Forces By The End Of 2014. I Will Evaluate Conditions On The Ground And Solicit The Best Advice Of Our Military Commanders. And I Will Affirm That My Duty Is Not To My Political Prospects, But To The Security Of The Nation.

And Let Me Make This Very Clear - Unlike President Obama, I Will Not Raise Taxes On The Middle Class. As President, I Will Protect The Sanctity Of Life. I Will Honor The Institution Of Marriage. And I Will Guarantee America's First Liberty: The Freedom Of Religion.

This Is Something The Democrats Have Talked About, And A Goal We Share, Getting Everyone Insured, And Solving The Issue In A Republican Way, Which Is Applying A Personal Responsibility Principle (individual Mandate), Reforming The Market (more Strictly Regulating The Insurance Companies), And Allowing People To Buy Private Health Care Insurance That They Can Take With Them From Job To Job That's Entirely Affordable. So It's A Republican Way Of Solving A Problem That We Face As A Nation.
