A rising tide lifts all boats, and you have to start with job creation. We will never get there until we replace all these jobs that have been lost.Phil Gingrey

Yes, we can pay the interest on the debt. We can renew the $500 billion worth of bonds that are coming due. We can mail out our Social Security checks. We can make sure those Medicare claims are honored. We can pay our military. We can protect our veterans. But when you get beyond that, the soup gets a little thin.Phil Gingrey

I'll help repeal Obamacare in my first term, or go home, because you deserve a senator who gets the job done or gets out of the way. Repeal or go home. That's my pledge to you.Phil Gingrey

I call this 'boss Obamacare.' The only health care that citizens of this country can access are those approved by the boss.Phil Gingrey

Spending on largely ineffective programs - although well intentioned - is a detriment to fostering real job growth.Phil Gingrey

I've been watching and involved in presidential politics since 1960 when I first voted, and the Republican, the conservative candidate in the primary is always going to lean right and come back to the center for the general - the opposite for the Democrat.Phil Gingrey

I'm not itching for a fight. But I'm just saying when I see the other guy putting on his boxing gloves and, you know, you've got dancing around in the ring, I kind of suspect that maybe a fight's coming.Phil Gingrey

Everyone depending on foreign fuels are all too inclined, it seems, to let jobs leave this country.Phil Gingrey

Official time is not fair to the government or the taxpayer and works solely to the benefit of labor unions and employees who serve as its representative or steward.Phil Gingrey

Reports of illegal migrants carrying deadly diseases such as swine flu, dengue fever, Ebola virus and tuberculosis are particularly concerning.Phil Gingrey

With an extraordinary amount of federal employees authorized to use 100% official time on behalf of their union, the federal government loses the immensely valuable civil service for which he or she was originally hired to perform.Phil Gingrey

A majority of Americans think Obamacare will make health care in our country worse, and they're right.Phil Gingrey

There are some problems, and maybe these huge magazines, even, for someone who says, 'Look, I just use an AR-15 for target practice,' but do you really need to be standing there shooting at a silhouette a shot a second or even quicker with that kind of weapon? For what purpose?Phil Gingrey
Copy
With each new appropriations bill Congress considers, I have to ask myself, 'Is this a good way to spend taxpayer dollars?'Phil Gingrey
Copy
We have responsibility for ONC and the HITECH act. We've spent tens of billions on non-interoperable products. It may be time for us to look closer at the activities of vendors in the space, given the possibility that fraud is being perpetrated on the American people.Phil Gingrey

Republicans are listening and offering better solutions that get Washington out of your way, out of your pocket, and back on your side.Phil Gingrey

At the end of the day, every member of the conservative movement, from our political commentators and thinkers to our elected officials, share an important and common purpose in advancing the cause of liberty, reigning in a bloated federal government, and defending our traditional family values.Phil Gingrey

I believe I was sent to Washington to fight for and defend our traditional values of smaller government, lower taxes, a strong national defense, and the lives of the unborn.Phil Gingrey

The reality of this Obamacare provision is that young adults will be forced to subsidize healthcare costs for older, financially stable, working-age Americans. At a time when 20-somethings face underemployment, record school debt and less economic opportunity, it is unfair to saddle them with this burden.Phil Gingrey
Copy
A lot of people get elected to Congress, and sometimes a part of their pledge is a term-limit pledge. There's no accountability.Phil Gingrey
Copy
States should require vaccinations for communicable diseases, like measles and the mumps. But you can't catch HPV if an infected schoolmate coughs on you or shares your juice box at lunch. Whether or not girls get vaccinated against HPV is a decision for parents and physicians, not state governments.Phil Gingrey
Copy
Of my three daughters and one daughter-in-law, they all work. They all work, some of them full-time, some of them part-time. But they're still there as moms. And when they come home and take over that responsibility, they need a shared partner, and that partner is that partner for life. And I'm talking about, of course, the father.Phil Gingrey

I think that our leadership, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, are taking the right approach.Phil Gingrey

For the life of me, I can't understand why BP couldn't go in at the ocean floor, maybe 10 feet lateral to the - around the periphery, drill a few holes, and put a little ammonium nitrate, some dynamite, in those holes and detonate that dynamite and seal that - seal that leak. And seal it permanently.Phil Gingrey

We will literally send a van and a photographer to the home of anybody that can say they can't get a picture made and a photo ID and we will do it... at the state's cost and the taxpayer cost and not at the individual cost.Phil Gingrey

Our servicemen and women are highly trained, highly skilled, and the most professional fighting force in the world.Phil Gingrey

In 2012, a hamburger cost Amtrak $16.15, with riders paying $9.50. This means that we, the taxpayers, are forced to pick up the tab for the remaining $6.65 through subsidies provided to Amtrak.Phil Gingrey

I think Tom Frieden, the CDC director, is a good man, is a good doctor and, I think, basically has done a good job.Phil Gingrey

As an OB-GYN physician, I understand the importance of protecting Americans from sexually transmitted diseases, and I applaud the development of an HPV vaccine. But for states to mandate vaccination for young women is both unprecedented and unacceptable.Phil Gingrey

What it is basically, if you go to a gun show, and there's somebody out there in the parking lot, and they're getting out of their car, and they've got an A-15 on their shoulder, or... John Q. Public wants to sell a handgun or whatever, then there's no background check.Phil Gingrey

The takeover of the U.S. House by Republicans could prompt a revival of the fight for additional funding for the Marietta-built F-22 stealth fighter. This isn't just for the sake of home-cooking, but also for the sake of the country.Phil Gingrey

We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, 'Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don't be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate.'Phil Gingrey

Once we as doctors are entrusted with the well-being of our patients and their children, it is our duty to take action, to be selfless, and fulfill our obligation to the service of others. I did so willingly, and it brought me great joy throughout my professional career. However, I always had a desire to do more.Phil Gingrey

As a practicing physician for over 30 years, I can assure the president that the majority of physicians in this country are for health-care reform - just not the government-run reform he prefers.Phil Gingrey

For goodness' sakes, back in 2006, when we were about to lose the battle in Iraq, thank goodness our patriots fought in the Anbar province and Fallujah and turned that thing around.Phil Gingrey

Americans are fed up with how things are going in the country right now. They see more job losses, rising debt and plummeting home sales. They feel let down by a government that passes one 2,000-page, trillion-dollar law after another instead of focusing on addressing the problems Americans worry about every day.Phil Gingrey
