One thing we cannot put a number on is the number of casualties because people were never connected to their purpose in life.
I came out of the private sector, a life that I enjoyed. I sleep in a bed every night with a woman I went to first grade with. I wasn't running for a job. I was running - and I think you will find this to be the case with many of the freshmen - to produce results.
I believe that the federal government, like a raging river, has expanded upon the barriers and the boundaries of its banks, and unfortunately, it is flooding all of America with its encroachment.
The people of Florida's 2nd Congressional District said, 'Steve, go up there and fight to change the culture in Washington.' I've taken their instructions very seriously.
Down where I grew up, able-bodied people do that which we believe God created them to do. Work is a blessing; it's not a curse.
I think voters appreciate that I'm not sitting in the back row, waiting for my turn.
I'm a team player. But I will say that I've never been a 'yes man' in my life.
