I believe that very firmly.

Mr. Obama believes in a big central government where the federal government controls everything in our lives. That's socialism. And so I stick by that tweet.

The President told us and the American people if anybody has any other idea besides ObamaCare, his door is always open. I know I knocked on his door and nobody was home. They didn't answer the door as they have for other members of our…

It does give extra mandates on the States, and the States are already overburdened and suffering financially. Republicans have an alternative to support child nutrition without growing government, but we are not able to bring those things…

The American people just say where are the jobs, and these illegal aliens here in this country must go home. We must secure the border first and foremost. We must make English the official language of America. We must enforce the laws on…

Where are the jobs? We need to have different policies to create jobs than what we've been given by Ms. Pelosi and company. I yield back.

Real quickly, the people I talk to don't want an unemployment check, they want a paycheck.

Yes. Well, it's an energy tax that's going to tax everybody in all sectors of the society. It's going to hurt poor people, people on limited income because more of their money is expended on things that are critical for life.

Well, I think it goes back to something that the President's chief of staff said when he said that a crisis is too good to waste. I suggested to the Secretary today that this is a crisis that they shouldn't ignore because it appears to…

They didn't deal with anything. They didn't deal with any of the things that Bill Clinton suggested that they do. And the interesting thing is that the Secretary said that this panel was suggesting that we have this moratorium. The panel…

It's going to kill those jobs. And Secretary Salazar defended his decision. The interesting thing--Mr. Akin, you're an engineer--Secretary Salazar pulled together a panel of experts to look at this problem and to make recommendations. And…

But that's not what we're doing. Just today we had a hearing on the chairman of the Natural Resources Committee's bill, the CLEAR Act, to regulate offshore drilling, onshore drilling, all drilling, all energy production here in this…

I brought up to him a quote from Bill Clinton, Democratic President. I don't very often quote Bill Clinton or Democratic Presidents, but Bill Clinton urged this administration, first, to stop the leak; second, to clean up the oil; and…

We hear from our Democratic colleagues over and over again that all this is Bush's fault. We're still hearing that on this floor. It's Bush's fault. President Bush in 2003 was trying to rein in Freddie and Fannie. The Bush administration…

Everybody is going to get taxed. So that was a falsehood. In Georgia, we call that a bald-faced lie. The promise that we had that people who made under $250,000 would not be taxed is totally wrong, and he knew it. In Georgia, the people…

This was an article, this didn't come from Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, it came from The Hill, one of the Hill newspapers up here called The Hill, on April 14, 2010, this year, talking about this Congress, talking about…

It's just inane. It's unconscionable that this leadership here in this House isn't even going to attempt, not even attempt to bring about a budget for this Congress to vote on. And why is that? Why would they not, particularly with these…

In fact, it's my understanding that we've nationalized more of our private economy in our country just since the Obama administration took over from the Bush administration--we've nationalized more of our private economy under this…

In fact, he dedicated the book ``Rules for Radicals'' to the first great radical, Lucifer.

Saul Alinsky in his book ``Rules for Radicals''--and I am reading the book to try to garner some information about the battle plan of the progressives. There's another word for progressives in my opinion; it's socialists, Marxists. You can…

The folks watching on C-SPAN tonight, Mr. Akin, may wonder if Congressional Research Service is some far-out right-wing group that might be trying to hammer the Democrats and trying to castigate them in a negative light. But that's not so…

Helping poverty is a very simple formula. It's a good-paying job and the education to fill that job. We've got to create those good-paying jobs, and the way we do that is in the private sector by reducing taxes on small business men and…

And I want to remind the gentleman that during our debate over ObamaCare we were accused as Republicans of being the party of no. We are the party of k-n-o-w. We know how to solve this economic downturn. We know how to create jobs. We know…

Over 5 million. Five and a half million, to be exact, jobs that health care taxes. And what it's going to do, is it's going to mean that a small business man or woman who is trying to just make a living, they are not going to be able to…

Well, there's a bull that's in that china shop that's not indicated in this cartoon, and that's the abject failure, non-stimulus bill, as I call it, which has been an abject failure. The non-stimulus bill has been an abject failure, and…
