My political views have since I was a kid someway or another reflected the concerns of Tea Party movement.

The Tea Party movement as I perceive it is all about recognizing the difference between state and federal powers. And that there are limits to federal power that need to be respected.

That's why we have senators and members of congress from every state. That's why we have elections. Because the people speak and there are different viewpoints out there. It doesn't mean just because we're members of one party or another, doesn't mean that we behave monolithically. It means that we will express our view points.

I think I was about 30 before I realized that not every family talks about the presentment clause on a regular basis.

I'm nobody's deputy. I am who I am. I'm my own person.

We can't legislate the creation of jobs, but we can legislate things that will allow jobs to be created.

I think declaring a no fly zone over foreign soil is tantamount to an act of war.
