It's not about sizzle for me. I think it's fine. I mean, America made a decision in 2008 to go with a president who did have sizzle.

I saw the government really using the excuse of a weak economy and a financial crisis to create more government and to push onto the American entrepreneurial society more and more restraints and government activity.

I hope that the entire Senate votes to say that if you're on the terrorist watch list - not just the no-fly list, which is a much more targeted list, but the terrorist watch list - you should not be able to buy a weapon.

I'm focused, as you can tell, on 2014 and on doing my job as a senator.

It's the wrong time for us to be pulling the rug out from under American exporters.

Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress believed we could spend our way to prosperity, and I guess they still do.

As the crisis in Syria grows and the humanitarian tragedy becomes more clear, I appreciated Prime Minister Netanyahu's perspective on the changes and volatility in the region.

Senator Brown and I have different philosophies as represented in our different ratings: I am a conservative, and he is a liberal.

I like to think I am a serious legislator and trying to get things done. That's my goal in life, to get things done.

Decisions about your health should be between you and your doctor, not a bureaucrat and an insurance company. Let's expand choice rather than limiting it. Let's create jobs instead of destroying them. And let's bring down the costs instead of driving them up.

We shouldn't be debating whether to deal with the current code by allowing it to be extended or not. We should have a president who shows leadership and comes to Congress and says: 'You know what? We need to reform this whole tax code.'

The wealthy are doing just fine in the Obama economy.

My concern about Barack Obama is he ran a campaign in 2008 where he said we're going to bring people together and solve big problems. And he specifically talked about the need to reach across the aisle and deal with issues like the economy, which was obviously the top issue in 2008. It has not happened.

Trump and Bernie Sanders are different sides of the same coin.

There is so much uncertainty out there, and the government in Washington doesn't seem to get it. What's needed is a new business environment.

When you analyze all the data, there is a warming trend according to science. But the jury is out on the degree of how much is manmade.

I don't know what's going to happen specifically on votes on Obamacare. I suspect we'll vote to repeal early to put on record the fact that we Republicans think it's a bad policy, and we think it's hurting our constituents, and we think health care cost should be going down, not up.

I'd like to think I'm a serious legislator and trying to get things done.

I served at a time when we had a strong economy, when we had deficits that we would die for today. I was able to propose a balanced budget, not over ten years, but over five years. I'm proud of that record.

All of our sons and daughters ought to have the same opportunity to experience the joy and stability of marriage.

I am disappointed that the President made the decision to have Ambassador Froman sign the TPP agreement in New Zealand.

Some have said, 'Gosh, Donald Trump is going to hurt you.' Some have said, 'Gosh Donald Trump is going to help you.' He may be helpful in certain parts of Ohio, but I'm going to run my own campaign.

The Social Security disability fund is going belly up in 2016.

Trump is going to be the change agent. Hillary Clinton is going to be the status quo. Bernie Sanders is not going to be in the mix.
