I think you are going to see a huge change in the market share between Ford if the Obama administration and the UAW don't conspire to wipe them out as well.

Did you not see that the lawlessness of what the task force was doing as it put together deals would be shredding the Bankruptcy Code?

Mr. Bloom, it is my view that what the President and the auto task force sought was not viable companies but pliable companies.

The private sector always makes these decisions better than government and if we take it in reverse look what happened when the government owned the telephone companies, it was a disaster.

some of us, myself included, voted against the bailout early on because we could kind of sense from history that whenever government gets a hold of things and comes in and tries to run things that the disaster that follows is predictable

Viable companies aren't made by delivering ownership of them to the union whose unrelenting contract demands and unbending work rules drove them headlong down to the road to bankruptcy in the first place.

This is the Administration that lawlessly gives imaginary constitutional rights to foreigners who seek to attack Americans, this is the Administration that lawlessly deprives American citizens and investors of their contractual rights…

Viable companies don't eagerly sign up for CAFE standards that can only force them to make small cars Americans don't want for the nonexistent profits that don't follow.

Viable companies don't slash and burn the rights of the secured bond holders knowing that the issuance of new corporate bonds is bound to be a key in their future survival.

This Administration has made many risky decisions related to terrorism.

the way you have comported yourself with the hearing this morning affirms the conclusion that many of us have held in the past that you have personified public service and your patriotism and your professionalism

he seemed to have a difficult time articulating what a terrorist really is, and that concerns me, since he is the lead law enforcement official in the country, charged with protecting us from terrorists

the effect of this hearing is geared toward dismantling--at least in my opinion--any meaningful immigration enforcement policy, or at least the intimidation and chilling of lawful law enforcement activity.

I hope I can be as effective here, and we can save Western civilization, here, if we work at it.

There is an even more important element than competition in our economy, to hone it and to make it efficient and effective, and that is the word 'trust.'

Mr. Speaker, today's resolution marks the 50th anniversary of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King's visit to India and the positive influence that the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi had on Reverend King's work during the Civil Rights…

today I stand here to honor the NAACP. We all honor the NAACP in this House. It has been at the forefront of the civil rights struggle in this country for 100 years, and though 100 years have passed since the founding of the NAACP, there…

I want to stand before this House with what I call a Sunset Memorial. You see, it is January 22, 2009, in the land of the free and the home of the brave. And before this sunset today in America, almost 4,000 more defenseless unborn…

Taxpayers will bear the risks as borrowers move to cram-down the principal on their home mortgages.

I hope we don't join that litany because I will tell you nothing has dragged more poor people out of poverty more than the free markets of the United States of America.

This legislation is problematic. It will impose costs on taxpayers, on future borrowers, and I believe will negatively impact other efforts at stemming the foreclosure crisis.

The primary difference between our economy and the socialist economies of the world... is essentially what Professor Mayer's central point was.

the most fundamental purpose for any government is its national defense and the protection of its citizens. I stand here today in heartfelt support for Israel and for its right to defend its innocent citizens from the attacks of a…

Mr. Speaker, if, indeed, our Founding Fathers were right, that all men are created, then it follows that all men of reason much surely sense their duty to reverently acknowledge their Creator. In the modern world of abundance in which we…

as so many times before, I stand once again before this body with yet another Sunset Memorial. It is June 17, 2008, in the land of the free and the home of the brave, and before the sun set today in America, almost 4,000 more defenseless…
