Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I would just simply respond by saying I know the Senator is quite sincere, and he is correct. I voted for the dumb fence once. I am not going to do it again because I learned from my mistake. I went down there to look at it and realized we could build two dumb fences or three dumb fences and it would not work. I am simply not going to waste the money to do something I know will not work. So if somebody else wants to vote for the dumb fence for the second or third time, go right ahead. But I was raised such that when you make a mistake, admit it and then fix it. I intend to fix it. The fence we are going to build--Senator Carper, Senator Coburn, Senator McCain, and I--is a real and virtual fence that is actually going to work. We will have further debate on this issue. I yield the floor. ____________________”
