Generations

Deeply saddened by the loss of Senator Edward Brooke. He was a true trailblazer; those of us who followed cannot thank him enough. Rest in peace.

�You know what, it really is time for a change. You deceived us when you went to Obama and Pelosi to get your votes for the CrOmnibus. You said you’d fight amnesty tooth and nail - you didn’t. You funded it! And then you took the only hostage that Obama would like for us to shoot. It was a terrible strategy, and it follows a number of years of broken promises. It’s time for a change.

I think one of the most important things we did as a party this cycle is we didn’t nominate any cavemen. It’s very hard to climb out from under that…anytime somebody said something boneheaded on our side of the aisle, we’d pounce on that and say, ‘You don’t speak for Republicans; that’s not our position.’

After Florida State, [we’re at] 90 school shootings since Sandy Hook. Newsflash to my colleagues – this isn’t normal. Do something.

I’ve lived in Washington for nearly 50 years, so I have met all the presidents, many senators, many congress people, and many governors. And I always said the best politician - at the height of his political life - was Marion Barry.

The Obama administration is now in the market for their fourth secretary of defense. When the president goes through three secretaries, he should ask, ‘Is it them, or is it me?’

We want our country to go in a conservative direction, where the patients have the power; where we have no shame in using American natural resources to create better jobs for working families; where we, the people, have the power and not the federal government.

For the first time in major college football, there is now a playoff bracket…Before this year, there was one championship game. The number one ranked team played number two. And those teams were picked using a peculiar formula with the help of computers - always a controversial process. And before 1992, the national champion was chosen by a poll of insiders – again, pretty controversial. So now, finally, fans have nothing to complain about…

The science of climate change is unforgiving, no matter what the deniers may say. Sea levels are rising, ice caps are melting, storms, droughts and wildfires are wreaking havoc.

The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race…It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded.

You know, maybe there was a little hanky-panky [when I lived in The White House]. There was like maybe a kiss on the roof.

I hear a lot of people say, 'Hey, it's been two years, things should be getting better.' But experts tell us from a recovery standpoint, [Newtown is] in its infancy.
