BILL FLORES

My gut tells me that the Supreme Court will rule the subsidies to be illegal, and therefore, Obamacare will fail.

As you get larger, it is harder to have focused discussions. Because one of the things I've learned about Congress over the past four years that I've been in is there's no shortage of opinions about how things should be done on any particular subject.

I will term-limit myself probably before I would have enough seniority to get a committee chairmanship.

I am philosophically opposed to raising the retirement age. I misspoke and said I was not philosophically opposed.

The single best indicator of whether or not a child is going to be in poverty or not is whether or not they were raised by a two-parent household or a single parent household.

I have disagreements with leadership, I have disagreements with the speaker, but I have those one-on-one.

Medical care is one of the only sectors in which Americans are asked to make significant, long-term decisions without knowing the exact price of those decisions up front. Americans deserve to make informed decisions about their medical options.

I think we can create an environment where America can kind of get back on its economic feet.

I believe in term limits. I believe the country would be hugely better off if we had more turnover in Congress.

We feel that the Republican platform presents the best opportunity for the success of minority families. All minority groups seek the same opportunities in the United States that the settlers from Europe did when they came over.

I don't need to air any differences of opinion in public.

I don't think 'nothing' is a good option.

It is important that we take full advantage of the RSC's size, character and the passion of its members to advance our conservative agenda in order to restore America to the 'shining city on a hill' that Ronald Reagan envisioned.

We still have a First Amendment that protects your business and free speech.

I fully recognize we need to improve the path to citizenship, just as we need to value the hard work of folks who become American citizens legally.

I would never criticize a federal judge, particularly if I had a court case in front of him, but you would certainly never, ever criticize them based on their ethnic background.

I think the comments about me being a shill for leadership are beyond the pale.

I think it's long overdue, and I believed that Doris Miller should have been honored a long time ago.

A lot of small towns in Texas have only volunteer fire departments. And even though they're called volunteer fire departments, they are usually very professional and have great training and usually have good equipment.

Healthy marriages are the ones between a man and a woman because they can have a healthy family, and they can raise children in a way that's best for their future, not only socially but psychologically, economically, from a health perspective.

The ability of Texas Republicans to be effective in Congress is based on having at least 218 Republicans in the House.

We do have our challenges. Some things don't always work right in Washington, and the anger you see from the electorate, I think, is a reflection of what's not working right.

It is indefensible that IRS Commissioner Koskinen has not been held accountable for failing to meet his legal obligations. This is exactly what the American people are tired of when they say that our government is on the wrong track.

I apologize to those of you I offended for coming out against the Ex-Im Bank. I'm not changing my mind on it, but I just wanted to let you know I apologize for that.

We need to have our conservative version of what health care looks like, and that will include a repeal of Obamacare.
