Political Quotes

“we feel part of the accomplishments of this Senate. But for our cooperation and hard work, we would not have accomplished as much as we have. Earlier in this week we did some very good things and we produced a lot of work. We cannot undue what has been done--feelings hurt, feelings of concern--as to why we are in the present position, but it has happened. We cannot undue that, I guess. But I say to the distinguished majority leader, it is too bad we are in this position because I really could see the light at the end of that tunnel. It is very blurred today. I hope we can finish our work. There is so much we all have to do in our respective States. But I just want to tell the leader that the long list of work that we did was a joint accomplishment. I know the leader acknowledges that. I just hope, somehow, next week, with the 30 hours that have been placed in our path, we could still work our way through all this and be more productive than I see the time ahead of us.”
