Hey, well, I've been a pretty conservative member of congress.

I think health care reform is challenging and challenged. We will see what happens, but this is a difficult topic that touches every American family. And the more members of the Senate and the House both know about it, I think the harder it is to reach that conclusion you would like to get to.

I was the first Blunt ever elected to anything.

There isn't any real science to say we are altering the climate path of the earth.

Remember, there are no cuts to Medicaid. Every year in Medicaid, you spend more money than you spent the year before under this plan, but the growth is not as great as it would be if you continued to pay, for instance, 100 percent for single able-bodied adults. Now, there is something wrong with the way that system is put together.

I'm very much inclined to be a next-chapter guy instead of a last-chapter guy.

I'm interested in being part of a majority in the Senate.
