Political Quotes

“Mr. President: ``This is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.'' This is an opportunity to fit our vision. That is a quote--not from some Communist activist leader somewhere in the United States, not from some Third World general. No, that is from the third ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives. Let that sink in for a minute.
