I want to see the farm piece passed, but the nearly a trillion dollars in SNAP spending for food stamps is way too much.
Quote by -John Dickerson
It's possible that in the future, women could be drafted not only into the military... but actually drafted into combat. I'm very uncomfortable with that.
Quote by -John Dickerson
It's very clear that Louisiana is gonna be voting for Republicans for statewide elections going forward because that's just where we are as a state.
Quote by -John Dickerson
I think always, when you have a candidate promising free stuff, and another promising less stuff or nothing, the one who promises more is always going to have the advantage.
Quote by -John Dickerson
If we want to increase revenue, we need more taxpayers. The way to do that is employ more people.
Quote by -John Dickerson
If a woman chooses to have an abortion, it is legal to do that in this country, but I don't think taxpayers should be put in a position to have to pay for those abortions.
Quote by -John Dickerson
The people who come across the border are hard-working family people. They have great values, and that's all well and good but they are also very, very consistent Democrat voters.
Quote by -John Dickerson
It's all about secular unionism, the advancement of atheism, which they even tried to create in this law - Democrats did - an atheistic chaplaincy.
Quote by -John Dickerson
There is no ground on which House Republican leaders should compromise until Democrats are finally ready to give up their spending addiction.
Quote by -John Dickerson
We know that terrorism is going to happen in the future, and we need to be prepared for it.
Quote by -John Dickerson
I'm concerned that Speaker Boehner is getting ahead of House Republicans when he commits to getting a 'comprehensive approach' to immigration taken care of 'once and for all.'
Quote by -John Dickerson
We love a growing private sector that allows people freedom of choice, to choose their health plan, to choose their doctor, to choose their hospital.
Quote by -John Dickerson
We have an unprecedented number of primary care doctors who are opting out of Medicare.
Quote by -John Dickerson
Here's the question for my fellow Republicans: Do we want to be the first-ever GOP House majority to raise federal marginal income tax rates?
Quote by -John Dickerson
For nearly a century, Republican-controlled Houses held the line on tax rates, a Republican coup de pointe to Democratic tax-increase parries.
Quote by -John Dickerson
I see a bright, bright future for the Republican Party and conservatism in general.
Quote by -John Dickerson
In the final analysis, I believe that an atheist chaplain would be the last person in the world that we would want a dying soldier who needs that last moment counselling in their life.
Quote by -John Dickerson
Let's be clear: raising taxes during a very slow recovery is likely to lead to another recession, and it will do absolutely nothing to balance the budget.
Quote by -John Dickerson
There is a profiteer when it comes to oil. 36 to 63 cents per gallon is swept off the top. And who profits from that? The government profits from it. And what does the government do with much of that money? It puts it into so-called 'alternative energy,' with so-called phony 'green jobs' that we're yet to see being produced.
Quote by -John Dickerson
We'll keep sending more and more conservatives to Washington, and we'll eventually get these bills passed. But don't be afraid to pass good, strong, conservative legislation.
Quote by -John Dickerson
That's how you win these battles over long periods of time. You continue to fight. You continue to bring it up. You continue to message it to your constituents and to America in general.
Quote by -John Dickerson
Republicans must stop putting tax increases on the fiscal cliff negotiating table and start demanding that Democrats put forth serious proposals to reduce spending.
Quote by -John Dickerson
The government should not have the right to force you to participate in some type of behavior that is going to conflict with your conscience rights, and if it does or potentially does, you should have the ability to have access to courts, and currently, that's not necessarily the case.
Quote by -John Dickerson
I saw people, and I can't name them of course, that maybe were skeptical at first that were really sold on Donald Trump.
Quote by -John Dickerson
As a congressman, why should I be forced to peruse cable stations and blog sites for information on the discussions and then be asked to vote for the deal when I have no input and no time to know even what's in it?
Quote by -John Dickerson
What happens is, in my own case - my own LLCs - the income flows to my personal tax return, whatever is left over after taxes are paid, I feed my family on the one hand, and on the other hand, I reinvest in my business.
Quote by -John Dickerson
We are either going to go down the socialist road and become like Western Europe and create, I guess really a godless society, an atheist society. Or we're going to continue down the other pathway, where we believe in freedom of speech, individual liberties, and that we remain a Christian nation.
Quote by -John Dickerson
The Freedom Caucus, like many of the members, feel like that we have too much of a top-heavy, power-based type of leadership program where the decisions are made exclusively at the top and that members voices are not heard, which means that our constituents' voices are not heard: those that we represent.
Quote by -John Dickerson
In a tripartite government with its checks and balances, we have lost the balances.
Quote by -John Dickerson
Most small businesses in this country today are taxed at the individual level as Corporation LLC. So whatever is cut out of those earnings is money taken out of capital for reinvestment for creating more jobs and opening up more locations.
Quote by -John Dickerson
By definition, chaplains minister to the spiritual needs of our men and women in armed services, a vital function that an individual without any inclination toward spirituality would not be able to perform.
Quote by -John Dickerson
I introduced H.Res 430, a congressional resolution calling upon the president to declare a National Day of Prayer for Law Enforcement.
Quote by -John Dickerson
Louisiana's a very conservative state. When we've ever polled this, we've found that they like conservative reforms. They want us to fight back against our leadership and Democrats, so it's very consistent.
Quote by -John Dickerson
The liberal social experiment with our military continues. A same-sex marriage-like ceremony should not have occurred at Fort Polk, especially since the people of Louisiana have made it abundantly clear that our state does not recognize same-sex marriages or civil unions.
Quote by -John Dickerson
We all say that we want to repeal Obamacare, and we would all love a clean, full repeal. But the truth is, sometimes it's kind of like making sausage. You have to do it one step at a time. You've got to approach it from the standpoint that you make substantial gains today, and then the next opportunity, you make more.
Quote by -John Dickerson
If members of Congress believe so strongly that government-run health care is the best solution for hard working American families, I think it only fitting that Americans see them lead the way.
Quote by -John Dickerson
We need to cut the capital gains tax; we need to take regulations off the backs of business and allow banks to once again lend.
Quote by -John Dickerson
I have never believed in the fallacy that the federal government can buy its way out of economic troubles through needless spending. For that reason, I am proud to oppose 'stimulus' packages and endless corporate bailouts, which will do little but weaken the long-term integrity of the American economy.
Quote by -John Dickerson
At any time, somebody can blow themselves up and take Americans with them. They can blow up an airplane; they can crash an airplane. That's something we have to worry about every day - we spend 40 billion dollars yearly on homeland security. That has nothing to do with Crusades or any of that other nonsense.
Quote by -John Dickerson
We think our leadership has been too timid to go after corruption, and often times, they bow to the liberal progressive demands of the White House instead of standing up for our values.
Quote by -John Dickerson
The Obama administration would say that if you are a Catholic institution, you can only limit your conscience waivers or exclusions to people of the Catholic Church. That would mean that Catholic institutions couldn't treat people of other religions, and that makes no sense.
Quote by -John Dickerson
It is foolish for Republicans to continue opening the door to job-killing tax hikes while Democrats refuse to explain how they propose to reform mandatory spending - mostly entitlements - that makes up almost two-thirds of the federal budget.
Quote by -John Dickerson
Today, campaigning isn't an 'interruption' but a permanent condition. Indeed, if you are a successful campaigner, it's expected you'll be a successful president.
