When the American people elected Barack Obama and large Democrat majorities, the die was cast. ObamaCare was coming. Popular or not, constitutional or not, affordable or not, it didn’t matter. – Bob Beauprez
My parents were exactly like millions of other Americans who had a fire in their belly to build something of their own, and in so doing they exemplified the dignity of work, the opportunity available in this great nation to those willing to work, and they left the world a bit better than it was when they first showed up. – Bob Beauprez
Memo to Congress: America’s problem is not that government is too small. It’s the spending, stupid! – Bob Beauprez
Common sense tells us that we should focus our resources to benefit children, teachers and taxpayers by keeping dollars in the classroom. – Bob Beauprez
In my native Boulder County, Colorado, the fracking fanatics are out in force. They are marching door-to-door, petitions and mythology in hand, and they are storming city council and county commissioner meetings. – Bob Beauprez
In choosing Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney made a fantastic choice and a bold statement to the American people. – Bob Beauprez
True enough, Osama bin Laden is dead and other al-Qaeda leaders have joined him. But, the assassination of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi is a brutal reminder that radical Islamic terror groups have not disappeared and certainly are not dormant. – Bob Beauprez
Fracking has been used for more than 60 years to successfully drill over a million oil and gas wells in the U.S. Nonetheless, the prevailing mythology on the radical left is that the technology is ‘poisoning our children’ by polluting the water we drink and the air we breathe. – Bob Beauprez
Romney-Ryan is likely the best matched ‘team’ that has been on a national ticket in a very long time. – Bob Beauprez
Job growth well in excess of population increase would be a very good thing if it were only that easy. – Bob Beauprez
In 2008 all the stars aligned perfectly for Obama’s 6-point victory over John McCain. He was an inexperienced, untested neophyte, and successfully convinced enough voters to paint their own version of what hope-and-change was all about on the blank canvas he provided. – Bob Beauprez
The Democrats are obsessing about raising tax rates, while the GOP talks about closing loopholes. – Bob Beauprez
I’ve found that when you roll up your sleeves and join people in their daily work, they tend to open up quite a bit and let you know what they really think about the issues facing our country and what kind of job they think the government is doing. – Bob Beauprez

President Reagan, Jack Kemp and other advocates of supply-side economics understood that pro-growth tax, spending and economic policies were essential to America’s long-term economic and fiscal health. – Bob Beauprez
Obama not only falsely represented the Republican position – as usual – he shamelessly pretended that he was The One ‘fighting so hard to cut middle-class taxes.’ Baloney! – Bob Beauprez
Careful economic research has shown public-sector workers receive a level of compensation, pension benefits, and retiree health coverage in excess of what comparable workers in the private sector enjoy. In some instances, the total premium can be 30 percent or higher. – Bob Beauprez
Every time Washington regulators pass down another heavy-handed rule or levy another hefty fine, Colorado loses potential jobs, revenue, and economic security. – Bob Beauprez
The number of realists who are betting that both the ‘economy gets healthy soon’ and this government gets spending under control is a tiny group, indeed. – Bob Beauprez
President Obama has tried to spin the paltry new job creation numbers as ‘a step in the right direction.’ But, clearly, the small growth in jobs isn’t even keeping up with population growth, much less returning the workforce to a healthy level. – Bob Beauprez
After the Democrats shoved the 2700 pages of ObamaCare down our throats – and we did find out how expensive, controlling, and coercive the legislation was – a majority of Americans wanted the Supreme Court to toss it aside as unconstitutional. – Bob Beauprez
A good day for Barack Obama is anytime the dominant topic of discussion is anything but the economy. – Bob Beauprez
Although it was created with the best of intentions, the federal government’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program has become one of the worst and most costly boondoggles ever foisted on the American public. – Bob Beauprez
Obama made his no-new-taxes pledge over and over again four years ago as he campaigned. Not only has he repeatedly and blatantly violated it, but his policies have relentlessly assaulted poor and middle-income family budgets. – Bob Beauprez
Countries around the world are celebrating new oil and natural gas discoveries that hold the promise of greater prosperity for their citizens. – Bob Beauprez
Barack Obama isn’t the first politician to break a promise, torture the truth or outright lie to the American people. But, he certainly is among the most accomplished at it. – Bob Beauprez
