Political Quotes

“last night the President was gracious in his calls for bipartisanship whenever possible in doing the people's business. One area for such bipartisan approach is the areas he suggested for tax deductions for postsecondary education. This is in the best tradition of this country, because we know that the surest route to success is education. However, before we can do the people's business, we have to get our own house in order. It does no one any good to have someone come to this floor and impugn the patriotism of the President of the United States. Freedom of speech is the basis of our Government. It is what every one of us stands for. But when someone unfairly attacks the President of the United States on this floor, we weaken our Government, we weaken each and every one of us on whatever side of the aisle. It should end, it is unacceptable, and it is wrong, and the people do not want it.”
