It could be included in the House version and we'll see where that goes.

They are wonderful. They supported our men and women in uniform, they love America, they are hard workers, we would love to welcome them into the state.

I do think there is a bipartisan desire to make sure that human rights are being respected in Afghanistan. Now, of course, I can not imagine my Democratic colleagues will be overly critical about the administration, but I can tell you they are very upset by what they see, i do think there is potentially a shelf life here, especially as we roll into an election.

What we need to focus on right now is the SIV effort and how we get Americans safely out of the country, i have members of the military and former members of the military texting me directly asking for assistance with their interpreters. We need to have a process.

I am disappointed in our military leadership. What they are trying to do is create what we see or what we call a' pink court,' by separating certain crimes out, rather than all serious crimes, I think they have made a huge mistake.

Taxpayers in Iowa, and across the nation, have a right to know exactly how their hard-earned dollars are being spent, and that's exactly why I've asked the HHS Inspector General to investigate these transparency violations, by Stanford and many others, and why I've put forward the COST Act to guarantee that hardworking Americans have easy access to see how the federal government is spending their money.

I'm worried about a bailout but we want to make sure that we are supporting industry. But I think we need to focus on the American worker right now rather than some of the large corporations.

I think we will have some debate over that, i'm worried about a bailout but we want to make sure that we are supporting industry. But I think we need to focus on the American worker right now rather than some of the large corporations.

While I'm hopeful we get to the 15 billion or more gallons of ethanol that we've been promised, I clearly understand the hesitation from Iowans to trust the word of The EPA to actually follow through on that commitment.

I'm really interested to see how this discussion today informs and influences the Iowa caucus voters, those Democratic caucus goers, will they be supporting VP Biden at this point ?

Iowa caucuses are this next Monday evening and I'm really interested to see how this discussion today informs and influences the Iowa caucus voters, those Democratic caucusgoers. Will they be supporting Vice President Biden at this point ?
