Robert Ehrlich said "I really have a caveat to your observation because these folks are obviously very intelligent. I am not sure it is a misunderstanding. I think it is an understanding. What they understand is, if you go to this floor often enough and use quotes out of context and use words like extremist and use arguments that are not based in fact, but if you repeat those arguments time and time and time and time again, every night, on TV, on radio, on the floor of this House, some people will buy your argument. Some people will. They understand that. I really think that is a logical extension of your remarks." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
