Political Quotes

“If you want to say no to Star Wars, vote yes on this amendment. If you think $30 billion and 12 years is enough on one program, then simply vote yes on this amendment. On the other hand, if you believe in Star Wars and you want to spend more money on its deployment and good faith, then simply vote no on this amendment. It is that simple. But this amendment is not about whether today or some day there might be a threat to the continental United States. Nothing in this amendment stops a ground-based national missile defense system or even continued research for some space-based system. It simply says no to the deployment of Star Wars, a $30 billion boondoggle, after 12 years, for which there is no evidence that the technology would even work.”
