Political Quotes

“While he represented his people and his constituency, he never let his principals be pushed aside by a poll. We have the media always telling us polls are a bad thing in this country, and you should not always stick your finger up in the wind to see which way it is blowing before you make a decision as to what your principals are. Bob Dornan never made a major decision based on which way the wind was blowing. He had the principals, had that compass right inside him. Incidentally, one thing we have not mentioned is that he was the Chairman of the Personnel Subcommittee on the Committee on National Security. He was the guy, when he was a chairman of that subcommittee, who authored the pay raise for every single man and woman who wears a uniform and who put in literally dozens and dozens of incentives to be in the military, incentives to stay, that helped retention, and all kinds of things that were good for quality of life for our military families. Military families never had a better friend in the House of Representatives than Bob Dornan.”
