Unfortunately, the Senate Democrats have become an extreme party. They have become a party that has abdicated their responsibilities. Under Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats, we have a do-nothing Senate.

If the Democrats take over the state Senate, the Republican Party in this state would no longer be just comatose - it would be dead.

I introduced legislation in the Senate to prohibit President Obama's amnesty. The House of Representatives stood up and led. It took the legislation I introduced and it passed it. But the Senate Democrats stood as one uniform block and said, 'No, we will do nothing to stop amnesty.'

If you support amnesty, you should vote for the Democrats.

The single biggest surprise about arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here.

I'm not serving in office because I desperately needed 99 new friends in the U.S. Senate.
