Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 1, 2011
I just want everyone to know that even though I stand up and talk about the Grover Norquist-Tea Party Republicans, I admire the Tea Partiers because they got up off of their duffs because they were upset about how things were going. They were misled in terms of thinking that the health care reform was not going to be good for them. It's good for them. And they will soon find out--they will continue to find out--that the things that we have done are good for them and their attention will be diverted from this President to their pocketbook. And so I look forward. I admire them for their activism. I love them. Don't take it personally when I talk about you being a Dick Armey-Tea Party Republican of the Grover Norquist ilk. With that, I will close. I believe that my friends on the other side of the aisle are ready to delude you with some information.
