Political Quotes

“the people whom we visit in Nevada and Illinois and other places who have these problems are not Democrats only. They are Republicans. They are Independents. They want this Senate to do something to help us. That is why I am so disappointed that we have been literally wasting our time on issues that have no relevance. Remember the months and months we spent on that fictitious issue that we should not have dealt with about uprooting the foundation of our country, to change the quality of the Senate, to make it a unicameral legislature--so-called nuclear option--because they didn't get all the judges they wanted. They were willing to throw this Senate into something it had never been before. We spent all of that time, when we could have been doing stem cell research legislation; we could have been doing something about gas prices and the other things we have spoken about.”
