The Public Record
I heard a lot about people denouncing attack ads and independent expenditures and soft money, but it is interesting to me, not one person that has spoken has denied that money being spent in their district. They could very easily say, I do…
let me just say this: I think it is important for us to know that justice knows no party. If Republicans have done wrong, let them pay the price. If Democrats have done wrong, let them pay the price. Whether the person is popular or not…
But when we think about what happened to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Ehlers) when he was looking at California vote fraud, he and the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Ney), the cochair, leading people on that committee were accused of racism…
Reclaiming my time, I guarantee my colleagues, I am going to give them that point. Now my question is, when the Department of Justice has signed off on immunity, why will not my colleagues let the guy testify? And how could my colleague…
The question is, and my colleagues know, the greater issue is not the punctuation of the sentence but it is the answer to the question; and the question is, why will my colleagues not let the guy testify?
Reclaiming my time just to say that the gentleman is correct. What they said, and they said it in writing, is that they have no problem with the committee giving him immunity. So he is correct on a technicality. But again, that is only a…
Would my colleagues urge their Democrat colleagues, the 19 who will not vote for immunity for the key witnesses, in order to get around this partisanship, in order to get on with the investigation, would my colleagues urge their Democrat…
let me ask my friends; They all have been kind of bashing the style, not the person, but the style of our friend the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton) who we all know to be a man of integrity and of honor. But they mentioned the rules…
The fact is, I want to know why my colleagues will not give the guy immunity to testify if they are really interested in getting to the truth.
But Kent La, the man who would be the witness to the Burton committee, which we will vote on tomorrow, and I certainly urge my friend from Wisconsin to reconsider his position, which I would have a hard time believing that it does not have…
let me reclaim the time here, because we can talk about Kent Law, but I have already said you can have the technicality on that. I am not on the committee. But what I do not quite understand is, do you not have the slightest bit of…
Listen, my friend from the Upper Peninsula, this is part of the Democratic tactic of delay, of distract. I am saying, hey, do you know what, I only know what I read. My question is, forget the technicalities. Tell me why you do not think…
Still claiming the time, if you do not want to talk about Kent Law and grant him immunity, what about the $3 million that was funneled through John Huang, which the Democratic National Committee had to return? Does it concern you that the…
The issue is the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton) is so unfair that the potential that the Chinese Communist government is infiltrating our government is not an issue because we do not like the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton).
That Ms. Hubbell feared that she would lose her job at the Department of Interior if Mr. Hubbell took actions against the Clintons. Ms. Hubbell said she feels she is being squeezed by the White House. Webster Hubbell says, ``I will have to…
Wait a minute. Reclaiming the time, if I can go on the technicality argument so eloquently demonstrated by my friend from Michigan, you said ``every editorial.'' Why, that is not true at all. The editorials in my hometown paper, the…
I will move on. Here we have a situation where Dan Burton's big crime, even though he has broken no law, but he is being accused of disclosing doctored tapes. First of all, no tapes whatsoever were altered. These were not tapes that were…
Incidentally, Mr. Speaker, I want to make the point that Don Schmaltz who is the independent prosecutor investigating the scandals at the Clinton USDA, 1995, the Justice Department wanted to fire him and call him off the investigation…
I want to point out also under the Democrats, we had an 8-year investigation of Labor Secretary Ray Donovan and a 7-year investigation of HUD Secretary Samuel Pierce, and on those, I do not think there were any convictions. Starr has not…
But should a child go to see the teacher and say, all right, I would like to say a prayer, my dad is in the hospital right now; the teacher says, that is fine, Johnny, but we are going to call roll, and we are going to go to our math…
Okay. So let us say under an order, a typical American schoolroom right now, the difference that this would make is that, at some point in the day, the students could ask to pray, be it at the homeroom, or would they have to go to a…
I am really disturbed by the allegations against our colleague that he altered tapes. The gentleman from Indiana has not altered any tapes. But I guess what I am also very, very concerned about is why are the Democrats worried about why…
I want to say, Mr. Chairman, that the previous speaker spoke about the rise of women's sports. And as the father of two daughters, and someone who enjoys watching my girls participate in soccer, basketball, or whatever, I am glad that…
If the IRS is cracking down on people posting things that are offensive to most people, then obviously, you cannot put up an IRS sign, because that is far more offensive than most of the other items that they are talking about.
That would not be the first time. The question, though, this is a constitutional amendment. Therefore, it has to pass this House by 290 votes.
Politicians like Jack Kingston
