On the recordApril 26, 2010
Well, I would say to my friend the majority leader that he is rapidly becoming the leader of the party of no by offering so many "no" motions because the motion this afternoon is one more of a record number of "no" motions offered by the majority leader to say no to more amendments, no to more debate, no to checks and balances on a runaway government in Washington. What we on the Republican side have been trying to do on the financial regulation bill is to work with the majority party and the President to help fashion a set of rules and regulations that takes us from the financial crisis we had a few years ago, and which continues today in the lives of Americans everywhere, to complete a bill most of us can support so we can say to America and say to the world: These are our rules and regulations. We have done our job. We have set the rules.
