Politician

Everyone depending on foreign fuels are all too inclined, it seems, to let jobs leave this country.

I get along with people. But I don't sacrifice my principles either.

With an extraordinary amount of federal employees authorized to use 100% official time on behalf of their union, the federal government loses the immensely valuable civil service for which he or she was originally hired to perform.

Spending on largely ineffective programs - although well intentioned - is a detriment to fostering real job growth.

I will be personally seeking alternatives for my family's health care coverage, just like the rest of Americans affected by Obamacare. In the meantime, I will do everything in my power to fight this terrible piece of legislation.

I have been blessed, working both at the local level on a community school board, the state assembly, four years in the state senate, and now almost 12 years in the House of Representatives.

The vaunted Democratic stimulus bill has failed to stimulate anything other than a few federal bureaucrats.

The influx of families and unaccompanied children at the border poses many risks, including grave public health threats.

Most of the folks to whom I listen are concerned for their future. Too many of them know someone who's out of work, has lost their own job, or fear they might. And, they increasingly believe that the opportunity for a better life for their children is slipping away.

President Obama has already ended Medicare as we know it.

As a physician for over 30 years, I am well aware of the dangers infectious diseases pose.

We could repeal Dodd-Frank. I think that would be a big help.

For the life of me, I can't understand why BP couldn't go in at the ocean floor, maybe 10 feet lateral to the - around the periphery, drill a few holes, and put a little ammonium nitrate, some dynamite, in those holes and detonate that dynamite and seal that - seal that leak. And seal it permanently.

I call this 'boss Obamacare.' The only health care that citizens of this country can access are those approved by the boss.

The SSA's practice of allowing union activity during normal federal government operations is unfair to seniors and taxpayers.

Democrats like to picture us as pushing grandmother over the cliff or throwing someone under the bus. In either one of those scenarios, at least the senior has a chance to survive.

With each new appropriations bill Congress considers, I have to ask myself, 'Is this a good way to spend taxpayer dollars?'

I'll help repeal Obamacare in my first term, or go home, because you deserve a senator who gets the job done or gets out of the way. Repeal or go home. That's my pledge to you.

I have actively opposed every bailout, every rebate check, every so called 'stimulus.'

As long as I am in the Congress, I will continue to fight for and defend our sacred values.
