“I can’t help but recall my dad and mom. Depression era kids, 8th and 9th grade educations, clawed and scratched to make a living as dairy farmers their whole life. At least two drought cycles nearly took it all away. They just worked harder, longer… and they made it.”
― Bob Beauprez
“Memo to Congress: America’s problem is not that government is too small. It’s the spending, stupid!”
― Bob Beauprez
“A good day for Barack Obama is anytime the dominant topic of discussion is anything but the economy.”
― 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
“As freedom-loving people across the globe hope for an end to tyranny, we will never forget the enormous suffering of the Holocaust.”
― 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
“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
“Terri’s death brings to a close a very tragic, human and personal event that has left everyone with a feeling of emptiness, regardless of what side of the issue you may have been on.”
― 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
“For too long, our country’s version of an energy policy has consisted of Americans waking up every day and wondering how much it will cost to drive to work, how much it will cost to keep their business running, how much it will cost to heat or cool their homes.”
― Bob Beauprez
“Americans are paying for our lack of an energy policy with their jobs and out of their pocketbooks.”
― 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 America, small business is a big deal.”
― 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
“After several trillion dollars of stimulation by the Obama Administration and the Fed, one might think the economy would be chugging along at a pretty good clip. But, it just isn’t so, and the light at the end of the tunnel is pretty dim. Just ask a small business owner.”
― 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
“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
“Obliging elected Democrats willingly pander to the radical lefties who elevated them to their throne.”
― Bob Beauprez
“Obama and the Democrats’ preposterous argument is that we are just one more big tax increase away from solving our economic problems. The inescapable conclusion, however, is that the primary driver of the short-term deficit is not tax cuts but the lack of any meaningful economic growth over the last half decade.”
― 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

― Bob Beauprez
“The Democrats are obsessing about raising tax rates, while the GOP talks about closing loopholes.”
― Bob Beauprez
“During the campaign for re-election, Barack Obama at least made vague references to a willingness to accept $3 trillion of reduced spending in exchange for a $1 trillion dollar tax increase.”
― 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
“Nearly 300,000 more people are forced to accept part-time employment because of this rotten non-recovery recovery than when Obama arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”
― 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
“Something very significant appears to be happening in America. There is a dramatic shift in voter affinity toward the GOP, and it may prove to be the mountain-too-high for Barack Obama’s campaign.”
― 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
“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
“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

― 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
“Job growth well in excess of population increase would be a very good thing if it were only that easy.”
― Bob Beauprez
“Barack Obama likes to point to General Motors as the poster child for the job creation success of his economic policies. However, whatever your sentiments about the government’s bailout of General Motors, for every job Barack Obama ‘saved-or-created’ in the U.S. there were two jobs off shore.”
― Bob Beauprez
“The examples of the Obama Administration ‘stimulating’ jobs everywhere on the planet except here in America are endless.”
― Bob Beauprez
“As state and federal lawmakers debate the country’s energy policies and Colorado’s role in the ever-expanding energy economy, let’s hope they remember that unnecessary regulations stifle growth while doing nothing for public safety or health.”
― 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
“Colorado’s collective shale deposits contain somewhere in the neighborhood of 1 trillion barrels of oil. That’s almost as much as the entire world’s proven oil reserves!”
― Bob Beauprez

“Paul Ryan is a nationally tested leader that is widely known and respected.”
― Bob Beauprez
“Romney-Ryan is likely the best matched ‘team’ that has been on a national ticket in a very long time.”
― Bob Beauprez

“The only direction Obama has the economy moving is backward.”
― Bob Beauprez
“Two new workers are being added to the population for every one job that is created.”
― Bob Beauprez
“Just to keep up with population growth, on average our economy needs to be adding about 125,000 jobs per month.”
― Bob Beauprez
“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
“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
“For those of us who originally disagreed with ObamaCare and now disagree with the majority opinion of the SCOTUS, the challenge remains the same as it would have been had the Court ruled otherwise. We need to elect Mitt Romney and House and Senate majorities that will repeal ObamaCare and replace it with free-market, pro-liberty solutions.”
― Bob Beauprez
“Every Democrat on Capitol Hill professes to be a fiscal hawk.”
― Bob Beauprez
