I always worked very hard against the unconstitutional individual mandate in health care. I didn't praise it.

The Constitution is government's stop sign. It says, you - the three branches of government - can go so far and no farther.

The world defines 'waste' very differently than Jesus does.

I would agree that President Carter didn't live up to the expectation we all had when he came in 1976. My husband and I were young idealists who worked on his campaign.

If you are a conservative you can never get anything wrong. I was very proud of the fact that I didn't get anything wrong that I said during the course of the debates.

Though I'm a congresswoman by title, a politician I've never been.

I'm not a fool and I won't be taken for a ride. I will stand up for my self but at the same time I don't presume the worst and I don't see people coming at me with negativity. Until they do.
