Kendrick Meek: “Mr. Ryan, you know I would be a little concerned, just a little, if the validation by the American people, Madam…”

On the recordApril 26, 2006
Mr. Ryan, you know I would be a little concerned, just a little, if the validation by the American people, Madam Speaker, was not so strong. I mean, the American people are saying, Congress, what are you doing? Let me just back up. The Republican Congress, what are you doing? It is almost like the Republican majority got elected, started a football game, and at halftime switched jerseys.

Well, Mr. Ryan, what you are talking about, what we just talked about here is exactly what is happening here.
