Political Quotes

“Harry Truman would not be impressed. ``The buck stops here'' has now been amended by Republicans in Congress to say, ``The buck stops with staff; don't blame me.'' The gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton) has released private conversations between husband and wife. He released edited tapes that misrepresented those conversations. He has said he is ``out to get President Clinton.'' When the gentleman is supposed to be leading an impartial investigation, when public outrage forced action, what did Republicans do? They fired a staff person. Harry Truman would not buy that and neither will the American people. Republicans have changed the principle of innocent until proven guilty to guilty before the facts are heard. Republicans have changed the principle of limited government to the injustice of government, forcing mothers to testify against their daughters and the injustice of intruding into marital conversations. The Burton committee has become the paparazzi of American politics, and that is a sad day for our country. ____________________”
