Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, enough is enough. The Democrats' failure to lead is now putting a strain on the troops by refusing to pass a clean emergency supplemental war bill. Yesterday, the Pentagon announced that it's putting together an emergency plan in case Congress fails to do its job and does not pass the upcoming supplemental. If the Democrats continue to play political games with this bill, the Pentagon will not be able to make payroll for active duty troops at war. This is a disgrace. Funding our troops is a national priority. Our brave men and women in uniform do not deserve to suffer because the majority party cannot agree on the precise amount of pork they want to put into this wartime supplemental bill. We need to pass a clean supplemental, and we need to do it today. I'm tired of excuses, tired of the bickering. Let's put aside election day politics and do the right thing for the troops. ____________________”
