“I was looking at the Tea Party list of priorities, which they call a contract from America... The number one priority is to cut the size of the Federal Government spending. The number two priority... is, do not put something in the bill that doesn't belong in the bill. So as the gentleman talks about these secret deals to the senator in Nebraska, the senator from Florida, the senator from Louisiana, people don't like that at all. If it's such a great deal for the good people of Nebraska, maybe it ought to go for the rest of the 49 States and maybe it doesn't need to be brokered in some smoke-filled back room. If this bill is such a great deal, why do you need to have all of those special interest side deals in order to get the votes from Nebraska or from Florida or from Louisiana?”
