Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 1 minute. Our amendment is simple. It would ensure that State law is upheld and that the best available science is used when making decisions about the complex California water system. Instead of using cutting-edge science, the Republican bill would take us back to 1994. So let me ask you: Are you willing to give up your 2012 iPhone for a 1994 brick of a cellular phone? How about giving up your Prius for a Yugo? Or using a phonebook instead of Facebook? Would you rather fold a map or use Google maps? The answer to those questions is easy. And so is this one: Would you trade the science of California water in 2012 for 1994 science? If your answer is no, if your answer is you want to use the best science, today's science, in order to ensure that we protect the water users and the environment, then vote ``yes'' on our amendment. I reserve the balance of my time, Mr. Chairman. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Mr. Chairman, I rise to claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. McCLINTOCK. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Rohrabacher).”
