Political Quotes

“I actually want to thank my colleague from Pennsylvania for bringing up what I think is a very important subject. I am proud, as you are, coming from a State that had voter ID. Senator McCormick, you wouldn't necessarily know this, but we passed the first voter ID when I was speaker. I heard all of these arguments, and they fall on deaf ears. As a matter of fact, if you take a look at the Help America Vote Act and other things, we can make it easy to vote. But we have to make it hard to cheat. Most people in America don't realize that we estimate about 20 to 25 million people are illegally present in this country. And you should keep in mind that in each of the five last Presidential elections, the margin of victory at the height was 9 million and at the low point was 2 million. So when we say that illegally present people who are able to vote can actually change the outcome of elections, it is not theoretical. It is proven by the math. So I appreciate your comments. Federal Reserve Mr. President, I am here to talk about a different subject. It sort of relates to the commentary that Senator Blackburn spoke about but only with a little bit different twist. You see, I think that prosecuting--vindictive prosecution--is wrong, period. Whether the administration is a Democrat or a Republican, vindictive prosecution is wrong, period. What we are on the brink of with respect to the Chair of the Federal Reserve is the pot calling the kettle black.”
