So we've got to, you know, we've got to compel, you know, our citizens out here to really care about this issue.

I mean, to have the opportunity for the United States Senate to, you know, vote to close this terror gap. I mean, we have a large number of people on the terrorist watch list. They currently have easy access to firearms here in the United…

Right now it is just too easy.

I think, the one thing that this highlights as does the shooting in Colorado Springs a week before and the one before that, and before that, is that we have a serious gun violence issue. We have a lot of people that die every year, up to…

Cash money, as opposed to food that has a U.S. flag on it, is much less effective in feeding that population.

The places where our terrorists are being trained that are attacking this nation are places where they don't have food.

Lack of food, or famine, is national security.

Your capacity needs to be built so that we can send the right amount of tanks, Brads, self-propelled Howitzers...

If there are no consequences for bad behavior, and they have already violated this agreement, why in the world would they suddenly say, you know what, I think we will start going along with the intent of what was trying to be done.

I don't believe you can ever have an agreement with anybody unless both parties agree that they want to get to a common end.

I mean, the stark difference of this is the difference between day and night where you have one person, Qadhafi, who was ready then to say, okay, fine, we are going to give into this.

It is absolutely false. The wound may heal, but it leaves a deep scar that is there forever.

The return on taxpayer investment is what we are concerned about, and that it is fair.

The way out of poverty is education, but education for something that actually gets you to where you need to go

While I was home in the district in August, I visited all 22 counties which I have, and I visited lenders, bankers, credit unions.

So we need outcome measures, clearly-defined outcome measures, but not without enough flexibility to help the individual needs of the people involved.

I think, as referenced earlier, that we have seen significant improvements in the education field, based predominantly on some flexibility and the ability to create individual progress plans for people.

I think statistics are pretty clear that we are better served when both are involved.

You always have to start with where they are.

I have introduced the TANF Marriage Penalty Elimination Act last week to address this issue by ending the separate and higher requirement for two-parent families.

I think it is inherently important that we understand the value of when we send these in-kind...

We have an excellent opportunity right now to bring this around and turn the whole country around.

It absolutely would. It is just math.

I just don't want to make it too disingenuous about what is going on.

I think the Governors... proving to people this is a good investment.
