“I thank my friend for focusing on those commonsense points. Again, when I open up the newspaper, what I hear is it is about partisan nonsense and it is about election-year politics. When we are talking about over 350 bills and we are talking about 60 of those bills being introduced by Democrats, but passed with Democrat and Republican support here in the House, when we are talking about 250 of those bills being passed with more than a two-thirds vote--many of those unanimously--what it tells me is we are not in the business of trying to make a point. We are in the business of trying to make a difference, and if we had a willing partner in the Senate, we could absolutely make that difference. I yield to my friend from Indiana, a former secretary of State, which has you in the executive side of things. You actually had to be responsible for getting things done. I guess that is my frustration with the Senate. I just need somebody to stand up and be a partner and take responsibility for moving a few of these things forward, trying to make a difference in people's lives. {time} 2015”
