The tax code being, you know, more than a Bible. And it is. It is actually eight Bibles stacked on top of each other is how complicated the tax code that both individuals and small businesses have to deal with in this country.

I would argue that dysfunction is in the Senate and not in the House.

I know I have talked to an awful lot of small businesses in my community and I hear over and over and over again that government regulations is a big deal.

I think it is clear that these burdensome regulations really remain a thorn in the side of this economy.

I would argue if you look at the actions from this administration, however, any involvement that they have had relative to regulations has been anything but reform.

What we have now unfolding is a very important and unprecedented Arab League initiative to get Syria to accept a series of very, very, very reasonable conditions to turn the temperature down and create a possibility of a negotiated…

Russia has proven remarkably un-counterproductive.

Although it took far too much time and at least 1,900 dead Syrian citizens, the administration has finally come out and called for Bashar al-Assad's departure from power on August 18.

No responsible nation can sit by and allow this detestable display of depravity to continue.

Certainly when you have opposition who is being peaceful and they are being gunned down and their children are being tortured, there is a natural inclination, of course, to fight back.

I do not, however, agree with the logic.

Our country, along with the European Union, has the right to issue strong sanctions against Syria to deny them revenues that are used to finance their abuse of the Syrian people.

It is my belief that we and all other responsible nations have a moral imperative to ensure that Assad and his ilk are removed from power as soon as possible.

The English language does not have words strong enough to adequately condemn the horrifying abuses that have been committed by the Assad regime and its allies against the Syrian people.

Do you think it is okay to determine the sex of the child and you find out it is a girl and then to terminate that life?

That is why I believe that we shouldn't remove those babies from the womb before 24 weeks.

I strongly believe it ought to be overturned as well, particularly when you consider that there is about 50 million or so Americans who aren't here because of that decision.

These abortions not only terminate life, they also yield irreparable harm on the future of our Nation's diversity.

Sir, we are 2 months into the program. I am optimistic about its chances for success.

It requires 'the willing suspension of disbelief' to believe that withdrawing our forces from Iraq... advances our strategic interests.

Saying that Iraq is 'secure, stable, and self-reliant,' as Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough recently did, does not make it so.

Fulfilling a campaign promise at the expense of American national security interests is, at best, strategic neglect and, at worst, downright irresponsible.

Unfortunately, these negotiations failed due to in my opinion mismanagement by this White House.

I have been with one of the co-chairs of the Congressional Taiwan Caucus for about 10 years.
