On the issue of Iraq, it is my hope, and my challenge to my colleagues, that our debate will be based on what is best for the future of our nation and for Iraq, not what's best for a political party or presidential campaign.

This heinous crime should be of particular concern to all of us. . . . I know my colleagues will agree that the murder of Americans overseas cannot go unpunished. I will continue to closely follow developments in this case[.]

The worst experience any majority can have is that you convene and you look around and nothing's ready to go.

I think it is to the advantage of my state to have the opportunity to come to meetings occasionally and to vote in person, rather than just by proxy.

America is about to turn the page on Barack Obama's four-year experiment in big government.

I'm really proud of this Supreme Court and the way they've been dealing with the issue of First Amendment political speech.

It seems with every new day, we have a new veto threat from the president.
