Political Quotes

“these last few days, I have been traveling across my State of Missouri, and to say that people are outraged over this $1 trillion budget buster would be an understatement. Unfortunately, many of the people have called the office and talked to the fine young people who work for me have had all kinds of harsh comments made to them. But as I have traveled around the State from my hometown of Mexico in central Missouri to the rural folks in Ava and Gainesville in south Missouri, to the people in the metropolitan area of St. Louis, Missourians are telling me how they are overwhelmingly opposed to this stimulus bill. It is not just Missourians I met with in person; thousands have been calling my offices in the State and in Washington, as I said, to voice strong opposition. The numbers aren't even close. It is about 4 to 1 against this bill. They want me to vote against it because Missourians know the only thing about this bill that will stimulate is the national debt and the growth of Government. Don't get me wrong, Missourians aren't opposed because they are untouched by the economic crisis. In fact, a large percentage of Missourians, such as many other Americans, are struggling right now. They want to do something positive. Missouri workers are facing the loss of jobs, Missouri small businesses are failing and Missouri families are struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table.”
