“I have been wondering, what triggered the Republican Party to initiate this broad-scale investigation, spending thousands of dollars? I thought, is it their conservative nature? If so, they have contradicted that with spending thousands of dollars for this cause in which they have no ending. This is an unending cause. And I thought, are they trying to protect the sanctity of the Republican Party? I have no answer to that one. Is it their dogged determination to bestow some honor to a verbose candidate who lost in a district that he had been winning in for quite a long time, with some nontraditional voters going against him? It was time for him. It was his time. When my time comes, I am going to take it like a woman. If I lose, I am going to take it like a woman. I am not coming to Members asking them to investigate somebody because Carrie Meek lost. I am strong. I do not have to come to them. They would make me to be some kind of icon, with all these kinds of verbose statements about me, making me so grand, like I am some Oracle at Delphi. That does not happen here. What happens here is we work hard. If we win, the people, if they want us there, they will send us back. Members can contest these little votes if they want to, but I will tell the Members what image they are sending to this country. The image and the message they are sending is Hispanic, woman, ethnicity.…”
