Frank Pallone: “There is nothing real about this administration. They have…”

On the recordMarch 17, 2004

There is nothing real about this administration. They have misrepresented from the Iraq war all of the way through, the economy, the deficit, all these things are all predicated on misrepresentations. I try not to use the word 'lie,' but they have certainly misrepresented and tried to delude the people. You can fool some of the people all of the time, and some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the old people all of the time, and they are going to pay in this election for having tried to run this game on old people.
