People - particularly in the Southeast, Georgia, my district, all across the state - they don't want the federal government to have the ability, at times whenever the federal government wants to declare an emergency, to start going around and confiscating people's guns.
— Phil Gingrey
People do not want that public option.
I truly believe that the job creators, those people making $200,000 a year, are the small business men and women that create the jobs and ultimately will help the middle class and the poor.
To create employment, we need to stimulate the economy, and to stimulate the economy, we need to cut spending and reduce the deficit.
I have always been someone who wants to get it right. That started when I ran for school board. It's an avocation that's become a full-time job.
We're concerned with a powerful government who is telling General Motors now, maybe, what they can charge for their automobiles. Indeed, if the government owns 61 percent, they can do that.
I don't want to continue to fund Obamacare.
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich, and other conservative giants are the voices of the conservative movement's conscience. Every day, millions and millions of Americans - myself included - turn on their radios and televisions to listen to what they have to say, and we are inspired by their words and by their determination.
Of my three daughters and one daughter-in-law, they all work. They all work, some of them full-time, some of them part-time. But they're still there as moms. And when they come home and take over that responsibility, they need a shared partner, and that partner is that partner for life. And I'm talking about, of course, the father.
The SSA's practice of allowing union activity during normal federal government operations is unfair to seniors and taxpayers.
We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, 'Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don't be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate.'
Deep ocean drilling is not new.
I'm not itching for a fight. But I'm just saying when I see the other guy putting on his boxing gloves and, you know, you've got dancing around in the ring, I kind of suspect that maybe a fight's coming.
There are a lot of undecideds in this country that are hopefully right of center, not left of center.
I call this 'boss Obamacare.' The only health care that citizens of this country can access are those approved by the boss.
Americans are fed up with how things are going in the country right now. They see more job losses, rising debt and plummeting home sales. They feel let down by a government that passes one 2,000-page, trillion-dollar law after another instead of focusing on addressing the problems Americans worry about every day.
Americans are calling for a return to common sense in how we solve problems and how the people communicate with their government.
For the life of me, I can't understand why BP couldn't go in at the ocean floor, maybe 10 feet lateral to the - around the periphery, drill a few holes, and put a little ammonium nitrate, some dynamite, in those holes and detonate that dynamite and seal that - seal that leak. And seal it permanently.
The vaunted Democratic stimulus bill has failed to stimulate anything other than a few federal bureaucrats.
We could repeal Dodd-Frank. I think that would be a big help.
Spending on largely ineffective programs - although well intentioned - is a detriment to fostering real job growth.
In 26 years of delivering babies, I've always been interested in government and the state of the union.
People need to look beyond just the immediate victory... There are no permanent victories.
I will be personally seeking alternatives for my family's health care coverage, just like the rest of Americans affected by Obamacare. In the meantime, I will do everything in my power to fight this terrible piece of legislation.
I think that our leadership, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, are taking the right approach.
President Obama has already ended Medicare as we know it.
The border patrol gave us a list of the diseases that they're concerned about, and Ebola was one of those.
We can't take our ball and go home when the consequences mean a weaker America.
Leader Reid is doing a horrendous job.
Yes, we can pay the interest on the debt. We can renew the $500 billion worth of bonds that are coming due. We can mail out our Social Security checks. We can make sure those Medicare claims are honored. We can pay our military. We can protect our veterans. But when you get beyond that, the soup gets a little thin.
I've been watching and involved in presidential politics since 1960 when I first voted, and the Republican, the conservative candidate in the primary is always going to lean right and come back to the center for the general - the opposite for the Democrat.
It's very easy for the candidates to talk about how conservative they are, how conservative they will be.
Most of the folks to whom I listen are concerned for their future. Too many of them know someone who's out of work, has lost their own job, or fear they might. And, they increasingly believe that the opportunity for a better life for their children is slipping away.
Republicans are listening and offering better solutions that get Washington out of your way, out of your pocket, and back on your side.
I truly believe that we have the best health care system in the world. It's not perfect, but this business of turning it over to the federal government to try to make it perfect is quite honestly asinine.
A rising tide lifts all boats, and you have to start with job creation. We will never get there until we replace all these jobs that have been lost.
We sincerely believed that we don't tax too little in Washington. We spend too much.
I used to go to Savannah all the time as a teenager, and we've got some friends down in Valdosta, so I feel like I've got a good base of support.
Reports have indicated that several border agents have contracted diseases through contact with the unaccompanied minors.
A lot of times, you're just so determined to get everything that you're going to vote 'no' if you don't. But if you get 75% of what you want and what your district wants, you should be satisfied with that.
To suggest that we can't pay our debts - that's absolutely not true.
I believe I was sent to Washington to fight for and defend our traditional values of smaller government, lower taxes, a strong national defense, and the lives of the unborn.
Democrats like to picture us as pushing grandmother over the cliff or throwing someone under the bus. In either one of those scenarios, at least the senior has a chance to survive.
The influx of families and unaccompanied children at the border poses many risks, including grave public health threats.
Everyone depending on foreign fuels are all too inclined, it seems, to let jobs leave this country.
Speaker Boehner is doing a great job.
Nobody is more conservative in the Congress and the House than Phil Gingrey.
I am angry - mad - at the Chief Justice, John Roberts.
Roger Kahn is someone with a gazillion dollars who thinks that he can use his vast fortune to buy television spots, particularly network television, and boost up his positives, make him appear to be a gentleman farmer, and cover up his warts.
Americans are proud of this country. They want to see things get better, and they want to be part of that turnaround. That's what America Speaking Out is all about.
