Putin Knows How To Run The Kgb

Tonight Illinois Has Set A Tone For The Nation, That We Won't Stand Idle Hoping That Our Economy Improves. This Is A Brand New Day For The Illinois Republican Party.

Its Not About Earning A Paycheck, Its About Doing Something Good That You Believe In.

Vladimir Putin Is A Smart Guy. I Don't Like Him, Smart Guy. He Is Going To Advance The Cause Of Russia Until He Hits A Brick Wall. He's Hit A Brick Wall In A Few Areas. I Think We Need To Make It Clear That Your Growth Of The Former Soviet Union Is Over. You Can Be A Great Power That's Respected. Fine. But This Is Not Going To Be The Old Soviet Union.

Russia Is A Competitor. They're A Strong Nation, Something We Need To Recognize, But Their Economy Is Just A Little Bit Bigger Than Illinois, So They're Not Our Equal. I Think Its Important To Engage Them. And I Think It's Important That We Continue To Fight For Human Rights, Which Is Essential To Denying The Next Generation Of Terrorists Their Recruits And This Is A Long-term Fight We're In When It Comes To The War On Terror. And I Think The Russians Are Exacerbating This By Making People Displaced And Killing Families And That's How You Lead To Radicalization.
