I don't believe a side-agreement is necessary or will be necessary,
I believe that we need more, not less, tax relief to pull this struggling economy out of its nose dive, and will work to ensure that the final package gets the surplus out of Washington and into the pockets of taxpaying Americans,
What we're not willing to do is to get ourselves into some complex negotiation with the White House where they initiate some increase in spending ... We just don't believe that is a dignified process,
I don't believe America will justifiably make an unprovoked attack on another nation. It would not be consistent with what we have been as a nation or what we should be as a nation.
After months of lies, the president has given millions of people around the world reason to doubt that he has sent Americans into battle for the right reasons, ... The fact that Americans are expressing these doubts shows that the president is losing his ability to lead. If the president refuses to resign for the sake of the nation, I believe he should be impeached and face Senate trial.
