“The point I am making is the Senator points out one very prominent Republican, but there are many more. I remember when I started out in politics, I was a county supervisor. The environment was the one issue--one or two, the other one was a woman's right to choose. Those two issues were so bipartisan that we all came together. When we ran for county supervisor, we didn't have a label. We ran just as an independent person. But everyone backed the constitutionally protected right to choose and everyone backed cleaning up the environment. So the Senator has described what has happened and he has used some very colorful language from time to time, but I thought one of the things he recently said--and I want to make sure I quote it right--is that it is like this Capitol is surrounded by the lies of the polluters and we can't get the truth into this Chamber. The Senator actually says it better.”
