“let me just say real quick, the gentleman said, when it passes the House floor tomorrow, and I think the reason why you said that, because I know personally that the gentleman has watched on 3, 4, 5 major votes, that 20 minutes into the vote, 30 minutes into the vote, 1 hour into the vote, 90 minutes into the vote, the arm-twisting, the squeals, the cries from this side of the aisle of individuals getting hammered, literally, with their hands on the table saying that you will vote for this. You will vote for this. And that is the reason why the gentleman is speaking in those terms, ``when it passes.'' But I am going to say something. I believe in the spirit of the American people. I hope it rises up tomorrow in a way that it should rise up against this very bad budget. I hope that we can adopt the Democratic budget that is sensible, that put us on the trail for fiscal responsibility by 2015, to make sure that we prioritize on behalf of Americans and not on behalf of special interests. {time} 2130 So you are 110 percent right. If things happen at all the way it appears here under this Republican majority, it will pass. It will pass because they will literally make their Members vote for it.”
