Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I am happy to yield to my friend from Alaska, who has now vacated the floor. I thought we had this more synchronized. But let me say this: There was a vote earlier this week in the Armed Services Committee. It passed the Armed Services Committee with overwhelming Democrat and Republican support--23 yeses and only 4 noes. So there is really no reason to delay this any longer. Frankly, there is so much going on around the world with the four powers that constitute an axis of aggression to the United States that we really should give the President the choice that has been endorsed overwhelmingly by a bipartisan majority of the Armed Services Committee. With that, having communicated better now with my dear colleague from Alaska, I would yield to the junior Senator from the State of Alaska. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alaska.”
