I like the look of a windmill.		102
The Washington-knows-best approach has repeatedly failed the very children it proposes to help. It's time to roll back Common Core and return education to the people who it matters most to - children, parents, and teachers.		103

I'm concerned that we're sending these military men... facing an infectious disease that could be deadly. If they go to Iraq, and they fight ISIL, and they come home, they're not bringing ISIL with them and threatening their families or platoon mates.		111
I was joking the other day that I'm American UKIP.		112
Like millions of other Americans, I receive health insurance through my employer.		113
Unfortunately, the health care bill commonly referred to as ObamaCare is making it more difficult for employers to provide insurance to their employees. It limits individuals' ability to pick their own doctors and, over time, decreases the quality of care we provide in this country.		114
I can't discuss the possibility of the U.S. involvement in Syria's civil war without also talking about Benghazi.		115
Tourism is our No. 1 industry in South Carolina.		116
Gov. Romney's policies would be a clear departure from the dubious tactics of the Obama administration.		117
I'm confident that Gov. Romney can win over the American people on the promise of limited government, defending individual liberties and a return to common-sense solutions to our country's biggest problems.		118
The Census Bureau can ask citizens very invasive questions, and if they don't respond, the government shows up at their door and threatens them with a fine.		119
Americans are fed up with these mandatory census surveys, and they're asking us to stop the harassment.		120
While the Census Bureau already has a legal obligation to keep people's information confidential, we all know that in an age of cyber attacks and computer hacking that ensuring people's privacy can be difficult.	Legal	121
It's perfectly reasonable for someone to be hesitant to share their personal information with the government. The Census Bureau shouldn't be forcing anyone to share the route they take their kids to school or any information other than how many people live in their home.		122

We worked very well with Mark Sanford. We stood shoulder to shoulder fighting for the principles that we believe in. But another person that stood there as well was a legislator, State Senator Larry Grooms.		203
It was easy for Sanford to have a bully pulpit as governor. It's another thing to be in the trenches, having to face leadership, and say, 'No, that's not a conservative position, that's not what we're doing.'	Leadership	204
The enemies of freedom are waging an all-out assault on the Second Amendment to the Constitution, which we have sworn to protect and defend.		205
This isn't about deer hunting. The Second Amendment is about our right to keep and bear arms to defend ourselves.		206
Parents and teachers alike are alarmed by this top-down approach to education that wrongly ties education money for states to the adoption of academic standards that do not fully reflect the values of South Carolina.		207
Classrooms cannot and should not be coerced into adopting federal academic standards. That's not just my belief; it's federal law.		208
At what point in time can our government fire someone whose gross negligence left four Americans dead in Benghazi?		209
I think we're taking a snapshot view of climate change and trying to implement policy based on that snapshot.		210

It's interesting how the Vatican has gotten so political when ultimately the Vatican ought to be working to lead people to Jesus Christ and salvation.		215
Why would you pass another law when the administration fails to enforce the current laws that are on the books. Why pass another one that's not going to be enforced either?		216

A criminal pipeline from Cuba to Florida threatens U.S. national security interests with Cuban migrants exploiting U.S. law, stealing from the American taxpayer, and paying the Cuban government to live large off the cash in Cuba.		301
The American people deserve answers about Benghazi before we move forward with military involvement in Syria's civil war.		302
Radical Islamic jihadists have a long-term vision. And if they have to stay in Europe to obtain a citizenship, to ultimately travel to the United States, and if it takes them five years or ten years, they're okay with that. History has proven that.		303
We need to hit pause, and possibly reset, as we think about this whole Syrian refugee resettlement issue.		304
I think Americans raise eyebrows when you tell them that IRS agents are training with a type of weapon that has stand-off capability. It's not like they're carrying a sidearm, and they knock on someone's door and say, 'You're evading your taxes.'		305
