Political Quotes

I want to salute the Speaker of the House, and here is why I want to salute him. He defused the religious connotations when this was first brought up. He did that yesterday, and I salute him.

So I thank him for that. I don't impugn anybody on the other side. I don't question their motives. I don't think that this is a good idea.

When you sleep tonight, think about the world's most vulnerable people, and we can still keep America safe.
