On Health Care: Mongiardo holds several pharmaceutical companies' stocks

MONGIARDO: It is absolutely absurd that we as Americans are paying more for prescription drugs than our neighbors in Canada for medicines made here in the USA.

BUNNING: You're cashing their checks. You better look at your own portfolio before talking out of both sides of your mouth.

MONGIARDO: If I was trying to make money on my drug stocks, I wouldn't be pushing for cheaper drugs from Canada. I don't care about the money. I'm over here with middle-class families because they are struggling.

On Homeland Security: Combined 22 federal agencies to make us more secure

BUNNING: We have combined 22 different agencies of the federal government to make us more secure. Mongiardo doesn't understand that there has not been an attack over the last three years in the US. Do you think that's by accident or do you think it's by design? We have worked very, very hard. By combining intelligence, by confronting our good friend Saddam, the ugliest dictator in history, on their turf rather than on our turf, we have prevented attacks.

MONGIARDO: I'm concerned we are going to see another attack. Bunning's priorities are not to take care of the working class families of this state. Even though you think that I look like Saddam's sons, he is not my good friend.
