Political Quotes

“I support that, Mr. President. I realize others apparently do not, and I certainly respect people's right to make that decision. For those who have been around here long enough, I guess going back to the days when President Reagan served as President, there were not many issues on which we agreed. I fought rather vociferously on issues involving Latin America, domestic policy, and questions on a wide range of issues. But I happen to believe that the people who have served this country as President, elected twice, deserve recognition. Whether you agree with him or not, the people elected him twice to the highest office in our land, a position achieved only by some 41 or 42 people in the history of this country. So if this is what has been chosen by those who believe it is a proper way to recognize the contribution of Ronald Reagan, I respect that. It has been suggested that we haven't named anything for Harry Truman or Jimmy Carter, and I think that is a legitimate point.”
