Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 16, 2010
There are many problems with the Senate's government takeover of health care, problems with cuts to Medicare, problems with the Cornhusker kickback, problems with the massive job-killing taxes, problems with Federal funding of abortion, but the latest problem is that the majority doesn't have the votes to pass it. Rather than finally listening to the American people's rejection of this misguided bill, the majority is planning to abuse the legislative process to pass their government takeover without a single up-or-down vote. As a mom, I would never allow my kids to deem their rooms clean; so it is disgraceful that the majority plans to deem their $2.5 trillion government takeover of health care as passed without a vote as provided for in the Constitution. I urge my colleagues to do the truly courageous thing and demand a clean vote.
