That's all part of being a decent human being.”

Because I don't want any other woman in your life except me.")”

I believe in religious liberty. I believe in freedom of speech. I believe in working hard and playing by the rules. I'm showing up for work tomorrow. I'm building that bridge to the 21st century. That ought to be the test.”
