Political Quotes

On the recordJune 29, 2012
Mr. Speaker, during the debate on the health care reform act, the Affordable Care Act, we continued to hear cries of ``read the bill, read the bill, read the bill,'' as if those of us who had supported the bill had not read it. As a matter of fact, I, among many, had read it; and we were astounded at the misrepresentations that were out in the public, foisted by our Republican opponents. Well, I'm going to be generous today and assume that they just hadn't read that bill. But now that bill is unquestionably the law of the land. So I implore my Republican colleagues, before they continue to mislead and confuse their constituents, read the law. Read the law. Read the law. ____________________
