More quotes by Tim Kaine
Absolutely without firing a shot and instead of 175,000 American troops deployed overseas we now have 15,000.
Tim Kaine
In terms of what Hillary Clinton, who's running for president, thinks about Catholics and the value more broadly of having a faith background, I can tell you she views at it as a plus, just as she views her own Methodism as a plus.

Tim Kaine

Tim Kaine
I think if you do term limits, you would really increase the power of lobbying.
Tim Kaine
The terrorist threat to American troops has decreased in some ways because there's not 175,000 in a dangerous part of the world. There's only 15,000.
Tim Kaine
The president doesn't get a line-item veto, so all the budgetary approps stuff is with Congress.
Tim Kaine
I accept the teachings of my own church in terms of how I live, how my wife and I live, what we teach our kids. But I don't think the teachings of my church are such that I should legislate that for everybody else.
Tim Kaine
I'm a gun owner. I'm a strong second amendment supporter.
Tim Kaine
I think in matters of relationship, intimacy, reproduction, sexuality, I think that people should make their own choices, and we should allow people to make their own choices.
Tim Kaine
I just want to serve people. I know it sounds like a simple cliche.
Tim Kaine
The great presidents are people who watch out for others.
Tim Kaine
