On the recordOctober 20, 2005
with the recent hurricanes on the gulf coast, it is heartwarming to witness the unity and the outpouring of support from all Americans. It is a unity of purpose from all, except one group: Democrats in the House of Representatives. That is right. Our Republican leadership is working valiantly to find resources to provide help for the displaced residents. The way to do that is to reopen the budget and identify savings elsewhere to pay for those new costs, and the Democrat leadership says, They won't get one Democrat vote. Now, that is leadership. How sad. Mr. Speaker, the American people expect us to work together to solve problems. Democrats are stuck practicing the tired, old, petty, partisan politics of the past; and this is disappointing and irresponsible. America deserves more than obstruction from a once-proud party. ____________________
