Bob Barr

But among those who believe the case should be re-opened are politicians who don't always agree with each other, ranging from former president, Jimmy Carter to conservative former Georgia congressman, Bob Barr.

I think there does need to be transparency in the process once the firm is in resolution with the opportunity for judicial review.

I think it is absolutely critical--and here I think Mr. Miller and I agree--that we change the basic nature of regulation in our system so that there are big buffers and we can internalize the costs.

I think that we can all agree we need to end the perception of 'too big to fail.'

We need to trust, but we have got to verify, too.

We don't want to have a system where we just trust the regulators or trust the banks.

We need to have firms taking risks, having big capital buffers so in the event that they fail their owners suffer.

We need to be humble about the ability of regulators; we need to be humble about the ability of managers of large firms.

We do need to end the perception of too big to fail. It is an absolutely critical element.

An earmark of a terrorist seems to be somebody who supports presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin.

All of these shenanigans and goings-on try to work around this really are simply different ways to evade the law. They have been breaking the law in this case. It seems to me very clear.

The integrity of the Department of Justice is being used as a political football by the administration to prove who's the toughest hombre in all this.

The Republicans seem to have and what they are sort of portraying to the country is a party that cares more about simply staying in office than doing the right thing.

The danger is, and what ought to be troubling Republicans is, that I think many voters have already tuned them out.

If the gentleman from Maryland looks at my record both as a United States Attorney and as a member of the Committee on the Judiciary, the Committee on Government Reform, and the Committee on Financial Services, he will see that I am very…

Yes. Again, I seek to restore integrity to the media campaign to ensure its ongoing success, not to end it. It is time to draw a line in the sand and take a stand. It is shameful for the government to reward any company that has admitted…

Mr. Speaker, December 7, 1941, was certainly a watershed. It was a day those who lived through it, and all who have lived after it, will never forget. America, and indeed the world, were changed forever by the events of December 7, 1941…

I take back my time. That is what I suspected, and I wanted to give the gentleman the benefit of the doubt and get him on record. The other side is not interested in just moving on. We are, Mr. Speaker. We are not asking for anything out…

Mr. Speaker, one of the sorriest and most shameful exhibitions of a cynical political move... they have now moved the forum for their denigration and assault on the Boy Scouts of America to this Chamber. They truly ought to be ashamed…

I want to take this opportunity to salute the families, sponsors, and community leaders who will welcome these young people.

Paul Coverdell is a man of Georgia. He is a true patriot of this country, and he works tirelessly on behalf of the people of Georgia and the United States of America. But first and foremost, he is a man of God. We ask the Lord's blessing…

Today I salute the 1999-2000 GED graduates of Coosa Valley Technical Institute in Rome, GA.
