“The only other thing that I would have to offer is to say that, as we move forward in the coming months and weeks, we've got to find common ground, but we do not have to forfeit our principles in doing so. We stand by the things that conservatives stand by. It's a three-legged stool: We're fiscally responsible, we're socially conservative, and we are pro-military, pro-defense. And we can still stand on that stool but yet continue to seek opportunities to find common ground. The problem is that the Senate is not even having this conversation. We watched 2 weeks ago as they tabled the continuing resolution that we passed in the House, meaning they're not even going to take an up-or- down vote on this, and ultimately passed something much different. We are asking our friends on the other side of the aisle in the Senate and the White House to have a conversation with us. We have passed all of these bills that will lift the heavy hand of government off of the very job creators in this country; and we just want an opportunity to debate and then find where we do share that common ground, again, without ever compromising our core conservative principles. Thank you again to the gentleman from Arkansas. I really appreciate the opportunity to spend this hour with you.”
