I'm a conservative and I believe if you tax something more you get less of it.

I don't want anybody between a doctor and a patient - not an insurance company bureaucrat or a Washington bureaucrat.

I think the President's decision to withdraw the United States, to keep a campaign promise in Iraq, without leaving a stay-behind force was a mistake, and I hear that from veterans in Wyoming and from parents who lost children fighting in Iraq. We're seeing it, though, around the world.

The failed stimulus, along with Obamacare's long list of failures, show what happens when Congress passes laws in a rush.

The more Americans find out about President Barack Obama's health care law, the less they like it. A majority of Americans want out.

For people who dont know me, I practiced medicine in Casper, Wyoming for 25 years as an orthopedic surgeon, taking care of families in Wyoming. Ive been chief of staff of the largest hospital in our state. My wife is a breast cancer survivor.
