Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman. Are we able to distinguish the plot of ``Home Alone'' from congressional proceedings? Today, I am not so sure. I find myself comparing the bumbling criminals trying to break into a house to the misleading criminals and bumbling legislators who seem to have broken this House. But while ``Home Alone'' is a comedy, the consequences of today's votes attacking women's health and the health care of hardworking Americans is a tragedy. In each case, we have people who do the same thing over and over but only succeed in hurting themselves. In Home Alone, the criminals are tricked with booby traps and misdirection; but in real life, Republicans are stumbling into their 63rd vote to undermine the Affordable Care Act and the 12th vote to attack women's health by filmmakers who have been indicted for their illegal activities. I am pleased to see that the Texas grand jury exonerated Planned Parenthood and indicted the real criminals--the video creators. If there were an Oscar for the most fraudulent film, the so-called Center for American Progress would be thanking the Academy. I urge my Republican colleagues to kick these criminals out of our House, disband the taxpayer funded Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives, and get back to the business of governing.”
