I'm 100 percent in support of women's rights, the right of a woman to make her own choice.

If I wasn't serving in Congress, I've always wanted to be a high school teacher. Specifically, I want to teach a course on modern American history and use Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury as a primary text.

I'm willing to meet with anyone, Democrat or Republican, who has a good idea, an open mind and a willingness to come together to tackle the challenges we face.

I would borrow money all day long, if the cost of borrowing is less than the expected return.

I have met too many people who are looking for work, worrying about their mortgage, uncertain about their health insurance, and doubting that things will get any better anytime soon. Not just concerned about the present, many of us are doubting the future.

My position has been consistent that middle class families should not pay more taxes. That hasn't changed.

We need to stop kicking the can down the road and rethink our entire tax system toward long-term, comprehensive tax reform.

I have continuously said that, at the very minimum, the Bush tax cuts for income under $250,000 should be extended.

Why should guns be treated different than toasters? If your defective product injures somebody, you're responsible for it.

I sit on the House Judiciary Committee, where we've been actively working on concrete solutions to fix our nation's immigration policy, piece-by-piece.

We can't get serious about immigration reform until we stop people from crossing the border illegally.

I will continue to fight to secure our borders and implement common sense policies aimed at reducing violence and the flow of illegal narcotics, firearms, people, and money across our borders.

In 2012, the Supreme Court upheld President Obama's overreaching mandate that forces every American to purchase health insurance or face a fine.

Why is it every time there is a tragedy in the U.S., President Obama blames the gun rather than the criminal?

Running on the pledge to end two wars, President Obama has the country entangled in three: Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, and that doesn't include the American's foray into Libya.

Hillary Clinton and John Kerry have left the U.S. with better relations with Iran and Cuba and worse relations with allies like Israel.

I'm still on the Trump train.

I think it's really tough being in Donald Trump's shoes, when you've got the media looking to put the worst possible spin to everything that you say.

I feel like my mandate when I was elected was to go reduce the size of government, lower taxes, and increase freedom, and freedom isn't free, and sometimes you have to make a small sacrifice to move forward with what you're after.

One of the problems the Republican Party has had is that we're too fast to compromise. You can compromise on the little stuff, but you can't compromise on your core principles.

The government was built on compromising. And it's frustrating as hell.

As much as I hate to say it, what I'm coming to realize is that all we're really able to do is put the brakes on. Imagine going real fast in a Flintstones car, and my heel is out there. I went to Washington to change the world, and all I can do is put my heel out.

We all went up to Washington on a mission to change things. What I found is that the Founding Fathers set it up where it's a little more difficult to do. We've got the Senate and the president to deal with.

We need to be talking about things like the DREAM Act. We need to also be talking about e-verify. We also need to be talking about border security.
