Political Quotes

“I would go one step beyond what my friend from Massachusetts has said. I call upon Governor George W. Bush, who goes around the country and even speaks in Spanish once in a while, talking about how compassionate he is, and how important the priorities of the Latino community are to him. I want him to speak out and say to my colleagues, the Republican leadership in the Congress, let's vote on these issues because they are about fairness. Let's take up and pass these reasonable provisions. If he is really compassionate, there is no area that deserves more compassion than what we are trying to do in this legislation. Not only do I call upon the Republican leadership to allow us to vote on these matters, I call upon the Republican nominee for President of the United States to speak out publicly. Is he for or against what we are trying to do?”
