Political Quotes

“In the wake of the phenomenal accomplishment we made this weekend, my constituent and Senator, Mitch McConnell, said, We have a new slogan for the fall, ``Repeal and Replace.'' Well, that really doesn't surprise because while we have been legislating for the American people, our opponents on the Republican side have been doing little more than sloganeering. I hope Mitch McConnell does come home to Kentucky this year and tells parents like my niece, whose 1-year-old son was rejected for insurance because he had had an ear infection, that we are going to repeal that provision that guarantees kids be protected against being disqualified for preexisting conditions. I hope he says we are going to repeal the provision that says that 15,000 small businesses in my district alone, and in his district, his hometown, will be denied that tax credit providing insurance for their employees. I hope he says that we are going to repeal that provision that narrows the doughnut hole for about 100,000 Medicare beneficiaries. I say I have a slogan to combat ``Repeal and Replace,'' ``Just Wait and See.''”
