Your government is no longer mine.

Sequestration was not designed to be anyone's ideal method for getting our hands around government spending, and it certainly isn't mine.

Look, I think by the time my case was over and other ones, everybody on both sides of the aisle in Congress said we can't run a government by this kind of process and they repealed the law and that's good.

And I'm here to tell you, the reaction that I'm getting around the country, people are sick and tired of this word in Washington, compromise. This is why nothing ever gets done.

It is the duty of the President to propose and it is the privilege of the Congress to dispose.

Whatever it is that the government does, sensible Americans would prefer that the government does it to somebody else. This is the idea behind foreign policy.

With the consent of the people, I will seek to continue service in Congress for the well-being of our state and our nation.

America is built around this premise that you can do it, and there are an awful lot of people who are unlikely to have done it who did.

I am about to vote. I am about to do something that human beings are rarely allowed to do. I am doing something that did not exist until America.
