For more than forty years, the United States Congress has shamelessly used payroll taxes intended for Social Security to fund big government spending.

All we're getting from the Democratic majority in Congress and from this White House is more bailouts, more spending, more planned stimulus, more deficits and debt, and the American people have had it.

I mean, the reality is unemployment today - over 14 million Americans are unemployed. That's exactly what it was a year ago. I mean, this - the American people know we can't borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy.

In the last four years under the Patriot Act, we have seen a great increase in the ability of law enforcement officials to investigate and track terrorists.

As we begin this debate, I am confident that we will hear the supporters of this bill argue in the name of Ronald Reagan that this research is consistent with his long-held views about the sanctity of life.

It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent.

I occasionally got called the Rush Limbaugh of Indiana, but most people knew that my style was different.

What I want the Congress of the United States to do, and frankly what I would like to see the President of the United States of America do, is speak a word of support to the people of Iran.

It's time for conservative Americans to right the ship again.

By requiring that any surplus in Social Security taxes be returned to the American people in personal savings accounts, the plan ensures that Social Security taxes will be used for Social Security.

While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner.

It is a rare piece of legislation indeed where there is so much agreement about the goals.

Let's win the peace and democracy the good people of Iraq so richly deserve after decades of tyranny.

The reality is that during the Reagan years, for instance, we doubled the amount of revenue that we were sending to Washington, D.C. after the tax cuts took effect.

As a conservative who believes in limited government, I believe that the only check on government power in real time is a free and independent press.

It's time to save the U.N. from its own scandals and mismanagement. It's time for U.N. Reform with teeth.

It's time to stop the raid on the Social Security trust fund and start allowing Americans to invest their Social Security taxes in personal savings accounts.

I opposed No Child Left Behind, I opposed the Medicare prescription drug bill, I opposed the Wall Street bailout. What the American people are starting to see is that Republican, Republicans on Capitol Hill get it and the Democrats, from the White House to Capitol Hill, just don't get it.

Sadly, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years.

Well, I think the reality is that as you study - when President Kennedy cut marginal tax rates, when Ronald Reagan cut marginal tax rates, when President Bush imposed those tax cuts, they actually generated economic growth. They expanded the economy. They expand tax revenues.

And my Christianity, first and foremost, governed the way that I tried to deal with people.

Well the truth is, Republicans didn't just lose a few elections, we lost our way.

The reality is the cap-and-trade legislation offered by the Democrats amounts to an economic declaration of war on the Midwest by liberals on Capitol Hill.

To date, embryonic stem cell research has not produced a single medical treatment, where ethical, adult stem cell research has produced some 67 medical miracles.

The conservative movement today is like that tall ship with its proud captain: strong, accomplished but veering off course into the dangerous and uncharted waters of big government republicanism.

It's time for conservative Americans to do what Reagan did.

We are here simply to decide whether Congress should take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to fund the destruction of human embryos for research.

And conservatives know that if you reject these principles of limited government and urge others to reject them you can be my ally, you can be my friend but you cannot call yourself a conservative.

The anguish in London is a vivid reminder of why we cannot relent in taking the steps necessary to defend our homeland from the present terrorist threat.

I never thought I'd live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem.

More than anything else, let me be clear - we need to be willing to fight for freedom, and free markets, and traditional moral values. That's what the American people want to see this movement and this party return to.

Human cloning is coming.

The Patriot Act is essential to our continued success in the war on terror here at home.

The American people know what's necessary to get this economy moving again. It's fiscal discipline in Washington, D.C. and across-the-board tax relief for working families, small businesses and family farms.

You know, Hoosiers recognize pork when we see it. And they recognize what bailing out every failing business in America means - We're burying generations under a mountain range of debt.

I'm a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order.

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it, read it thoroughly, and understand that what we're looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy, paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses. And it must be opposed.

For more than forty years, the United States Congress has shamelessly used payroll taxes intended for Social Security to fund big government spending.

My votes against the education bill and my votes against the Medicare bill got huge play at home.

A campaign ought to demonstrate the basic human decency of the candidate. That means your First Amendment rights end at the tip of your opponent's nose - even in the matter of political rhetoric.

A republic - if you can keep it - is about limitation, and for good reason, because we are mortal and our actions are imperfect.

Anybody that's been in Indiana for five minutes knows that Hoosier hospitality is not a slogan, it's a reality.

Anybody who is familiar with the historical data from the IRS knows that raising income tax rates will likely actually reduce federal revenues.

As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it.

Budgets are moral documents. Federal funding should reflect the priorities and the values of the majority of the American people.

Comments that suggest that Muslims should be banned from the United States are offensive and unconstitutional.

Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell was a successful compromise in 1993; and so that compromise should remain.
