I don't think I would have to run a campaign that's financed like General Motors.
John Bolton
Image
A strong State Department to me means a corps of career officials who believe that their job is to advocate America's interests and who are trained in effective advocacy, not schooled in accommodation.
John Bolton
Image
There is no excuse for waste, fraud, and abuse in the Defense Department budget.
John Bolton
Image
I've been surrounded by some of the best economic minds in the country, and hopefully I've absorbed some of that.

Obama sees America as another country on the UN role call. Somewhere between Albania and Zimbabwe.
John Bolton
Image
There is no patriotic obligation to help advance the career of a politician who is otherwise pursuing interests that are fundamentally antithetical to your values. That's not the call of patriotism.

I don't think there is any good answer to the question why shouldn't gays and lesbians who want to serve their country be allowed to do it.
