The more sort of uniformity and commitment we have to sound science and transparency... the better off we are.

I stand in opposition to this deal. This is a terrible deal for America, for the Middle East, and for the world. This is a deal that can't be verified. The IAEA, as so eloquently talked about by my colleague across the aisle, is the same…

I mean, it is a facade. We have seen that over and over again and we know that for a fact.

What we have seen over the course of the last 20 years is a slip or a slide into socialism.

We need to revitalize that. And from what I have heard from you, it is from a lack of engagement.

And I think we need to restate the Monroe Doctrine. I think that is something that we need to stand for what the Western Hemisphere stands for.

Intellectually responsible, this is a bad deal, we need to run away from it

The number one goal of the United States of America is for the common defense of my country

We need to walk away from the table, we need to run away

Iran is the leading sponsor of state terrorism.

With the release of the money, whether it is $50 billion or $100 billion, will it make them stronger?

I think we are all in agreement that Iran is an enemy of the United States.

This is going to make Iran stronger

This is a bad deal, and I think if we operate from a level of strength Iran will come back to the negotiating table.

We as the representatives of the American people, we deserve that, and I wouldn't support this without that.

I have a problem with the secret deals that are going on, and you are asking us to support this deal without being able to read it.

And if you say and President Obama says this is going to make America safer... I think we should run away.

I feel that you, this negotiating team, put America in that situation because of the way you negotiated this from the very beginning.

It kind of reminds me of the healthcare law. I don't want to be in that situation.

This deal will go through, possibly, and when it does, you know, it is going to be hanging on somebody's reputation. You know, they will either be the next Chamberlain in history, or if they are lucky, they will be the next Reagan.

But you sure dang sure can bomb the will out of them, and I am not advocating more, but if we would have negotiated from a power--or position of strength, we would be in a better situation, and I think we would all be safer 5 years from…

I want to know the information because we are supposed to vote on a deal.

When I look at them sponsoring the assassination attempt of the Saudi Ambassador on our homeland, would it be safe to say, especially when their leaders have been for years, saying 'Death to America,' 'Death to Israel,' would you consider…

With the economic sanctions in place, in fact they are so tough that Iran was starving. You know, people were having all these hard times. But while they were doing that, they were funding Hezbollah, they were funding Hamas.

I find it interesting that partners in the Middle East weren't at the table. Israel wasn't at the table. The Saudis weren't at the table. And they don't want the deal, but yet we are going ahead with the deal.
