Political Quotes

“I call this the nightmare before Christmas. And the American people find it difficult to believe that here we are on this day talking about impeaching a president who just came back from the Middle East almost with a peace accord. This is not about impeaching Bill Clinton. This is about trying to roll back the clock. This is about impeaching affirmative action, impeaching women's rights. This is about taking America back rather than moving it forward. I know how I am going to vote. My people have told me. I will not disregard the people who elected me. Seventy percent of them have said to me, protect the President, vote to keep this President in office. So, Mr. Speaker, I will not vote for this nightmare before Christmas, I will not vote for this lynching in the people's House, I will vote against these resolutions. Mr. Speaker, this is a serious time for our country. I urge my colleagues to do what is right and I ask that history be kind to us. I rise in strong opposition to the articles of impeachment presented by my colleagues from the Judiciary Committee.”
