The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.

I think it's a bad business decision to exclude anybody from your restaurant - but, at the same time, I do believe in private ownership.

The Constitution's pretty clear. The Federalist papers are pretty clear... They very specifically delegated the power to declare war to Congress. They wanted this to be a congressional decision; they did not want war to be engaged in by the executive without approval of Congress.

What gets lost is that the Republican Party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights.

As a Christian, I believe in redemption. And I believe in second chances.

The Republican Party's history is rich and chock full of emancipation and black history.
