Political Quotes

“If I can interject, I think that was a very telling remark from the Speaker of the House yesterday, and if someone didn't catch that, she said we need to pass the bill so we can then find out what is in it. The comments are out there on the Internet for the American people to see. I would like to quote Senator Lamar Alexander about this entire process. He said: What the President is doing is asking House Democrats to hold hands, jump off a cliff, and hope Harry Reid catches them. I don't know that Harry Reid will be able to catch them. I will say this. If there are budget points of order that need to be waived in this scheme the majority leader has about cleaning up this statute in conference, I am not going to be a part of 60 votes to waive that point of order. It will all be on Mr. Reid and his teammates over there to get this done because I will not be a part of waiving points of order, helping them get to a supermajority to clean up something, even if it needs to be done. This process needs to be stopped, and I would say the next 10 to 14 days are going to tell the tale. The American people do not want this bill, and it is up to the House of Representatives and to us, saying what we can on the Senate side, to see if we are going to listen to the people and stop this bill, go back to the drawing board and try something that works.”
