Political Quotes

“I will not yield. The gentleman gets up and yells like he does to intimidate people into believing he's right. The gentleman is wrong. The gentleman is providing cover for his colleagues rather than doing the right thing. It's Republicans wrapping their arms around Republicans rather than doing the right thing on behalf of the heroes. It is a shame; a shame. If you believe this is a bad idea to provide health care, then vote ``no.'' But don't give me the cowardly view that, Oh, if it was a different procedure. I will not stand here and listen to my colleague say, Oh, if only I had a different procedure that allows us to stall, stall, stall and then vote ``no.'' Instead of standing up and defending your colleagues and voting ``no'' on this humane bill, you should urge them to vote ``yes,'' something the gentleman has not done.”
