Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 17, 2010
I think another thing that they have a hard time understanding is how a Member of Congress could lambast the bill one minute and then say we need to vote on it the next. And I want to say Chairwoman Slaughter, the chairwoman of the Rules Committee, who is now doing everything she can to get this bill passed with the trick that she has come up with, the Slaughter sleight of hand I call it, she said last year, right after the Senate bill was passed, ``The Senate should go back to the drawing board.'' And she further said, ``The Senate bill will do almost nothing to reform health care, but will be a windfall for insurance companies.'' So the public is really confused because one day these folks say one thing and then the next day they are doing everything they can to destroy our country and all that we stand for to get these bills passed. It's got to be terribly confusing.
