I still think President Clinton may have some real problems because he testified under oath. There is a real question of perjury and obstruction of justice.

Well, WorldCom’s growth exploded in the Clinton years, there’s no question, there’s no disputing that.

But if you look at WorldCom, which is the biggest failure to date, they grew dramatically, they were buying companies that were bigger than they were and they were doing it off inflated stock.

If people are going to be cooking the books, you’re in trouble.

This is Georgia’s loss, but it is really a loss for the entire country. Paul Coverdell was a good friend, a fine leader and a great senator for the people of Georgia. He dedicated his...

What he said then is just as true today: We have to employ our talents, our technology, and all our capabilities toward building a defensive system.

But the federal government, our collective government, has responsibilities that none of these other levels of government can fulfill; and chief among these is national defense.

If you really believe the number one priority of our government is the protection of our people, then the idea of being defenseless against an intercontinental ballistic missile or any other type of weapon system...

I’m wrestling with it. My position has always been to have a one-vote majority, but we’ll make this work. We’re going to accept it and make it work.

When you look at other countries that are developing the capabilities and the technology to deploy missiles of very significant destructive capability with nuclear, chemical, or biological warheads, then the MAD dogma makes even less...

I always intended to return to the private sector.

If your basic premise about the fundamental purpose of our government is that it must provide for the common defense, then no other position is possible.

We can wait 14 months, get a new president and then do a tax cut.

I happen to be one who believes very strongly that state and local governments have their proper roles.

It bothers me to read the comments of leaders of the Hamas and others who hate America that their goal is to have more weaponry capable of delivering all types of weapons of mass destruction.

Health care already costs too much. Unfortunately, the bill proposed by Senator Kennedy and many of the Democrats would make it worse. It would make insurance a lot more expensive and therefore less affordable. As...

I have always thought that Israel, as an independent and sovereign nation, had a right to defend itself.

Jim mentioned I was an ALEC member, and that’s correct.

To be sitting on their hands and say ‘Well we didn’t get into their computer until March of ’99’ and this guy was a suspect back in ’95 is just unacceptable … I think heads...

I hope there will be some good news and some good profits, and people will realize we have a lot of outstanding executives, and a lot of companies that are doing a good job, and...

My last comment was, though, that Congress has cooked the books.

It won’t happen. It shouldn’t happen.

I still happen to think the United States is the greatest place in the world to invest.

My State Senate district was in the northern part of Oklahoma and they were redrawing the districts.

If the senator really wants to support an increase in the minimum wage, we should pass the minimum wage with tax relief.

I think most corporate executives are good honorable honest men and women who do good work.

The Patriot system is good – I am not knocking it – but it was not designed to defend a wide area like an entire city from missiles.

It’s probably the most expensive, intrusive regulation ever promulgated certainly by the Department of Labor, maybe by government entirely. It’s costs are in the billion and billions of dollars.

I think there’s bipartisan support in the Senate to pass a good reform bill.

We must give our commander in chief and our military the capability to respond to these threats in some way other than retaliatory mass destruction.

ALEC is one great organization, I think, for growing future political leaders.

I want to compliment The Heritage Foundation for its work on behalf of a strong national defense.

Well, we want to make sure there’s not securities fraud.

And the whole world, the whole world that believes in freedom, whether you’re talking about personal freedom, economic freedom, religious freedom, they look to the United States for leadership; and you’re part of that leadership.

I’m always a little cautious, there’s a few amendments that are out there that I think could do some damage, so I’ve been more concerned about over regulating, going too far..
