“I come over to the Republican side of the aisle today to speak and to quote Republican leaders. From Bob Dole: Enough is enough. I do not see any sense in what we are doing. I would hope that we would have a quick action in the House. People have been gone from their jobs long enough. Enough is enough. In addition, I quote another great Republican leader, Newt Gingrich: As a former Army brat I believe it is morally wrong and indefensible that Federal workers are in the cross-fire. The reckless Republican right have left their leaders. I say to my colleagues on the Republican side, 'Please, come to your senses. Act like adults. It is indefensible what is going on, and it cannot be defended.' For those who saw 'Nightline' last night, shame, shame, shame for those who were trying to defend this position. It is impossible. My colleagues should look at what their leaders are saying. I say to the reckless right, 'Please, for the good of the country, listen to your leaders. End this shutdown today, this afternoon, now.'”
