I have newspapers coming to me and saying, 'Can we get in on the TARP?'.

I would never think of crying about any loss of an office, because that's always a possibility, and if you're professional, then you deal with it professionally.

The Republican Party is the Grand Old Party. It's made enormous contributions to the success of our country. And it is a party that has embraced its leadership role when it has had the majority or the White House.

I would say that one of the things that encouraged me so much when I became elected to the leadership was the letters I received from fathers of daughters, saying that, 'My daughter can now do many more things because of what you did.'

If people don't have a job, they're not too interested in how you intend for them to have a job. They want to see results.

I never dread going back to Congress.

Republicans support opening the floodgates to special interest money and suppressing the right to vote. It's just plain wrong.

Jobs mean freedom for workers to support their families.
