Political Quotes

“I resent the gentleman lecturing me about how I ought to use my time. I was elected by the people of my district to make public policy. They did not necessarily elect me to go and do any of the things he is instructing me to do. They elected me to come here, to identify the issues, to debate the issues, to work on the issues. I know how to use my time. And I use it effectively. I would say to the gentleman, he should be more concerned about how he uses his time and his power rather than trying to instruct me on how I should use my time. I think that this amendment and the work that I am doing is the right thing to do. I think that it is the moral thing to do. I think that it is the spiritual thing to do. I think it is the religious thing to do. I do not know how anybody who has got the power in their hands, who work in this body, standing before the world, can oppose an amendment that would save the lives of millions of people.”
