The Public Record
American politician (born 1964)
The intention of the rule that the chairman is referring to is to make sure we're not adding any additional spending. But in fact, by cutting the COPS program, you're actually adding an enormous amount of expenditure in the long run. And…
The President did not say anything about this dastardly flawed bill. He said we should 'implement and improve.' You say 'repeal and replace.' You put that to a vote of the American people. Implement and improve is the way we build…
I want my colleagues to understand, to say that you're not going to give them insurance, who do you think then pays for those uninsured? Who do you think then comes in and pays? It is your citizens in your towns, States, and cities. That's…
I want to just advise people watching at home playing that now popular drinking game of you take a shot whenever the Republicans say something that's not true, please assign a designated driver. This is going to be a long afternoon. Then…
You vote yes if you believe yes! You vote in favor of something if you believe it is the right thing! If you believe it is the wrong thing, you vote no!
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 want the wealthy to be as wealthy as they can be. I have no grudge against that. I want all of us to be that wealthy. But we should be a country that fights for those who really need the help. We should not be a country that says: You…
I believe Senator Enzi simply doesn't support this effort, and is looking for any rationale possible to support it.
Frankly, I believe that Senator Enzi simply doesn't support this effort and is looking for any rationale possible to support it.
Look, there definitely is a disconnect here. You see my Senate colleagues wrap their arms around the 9/11 workers, praise them.
Great courage to wait until all members have already spoken and then stand up and wrap your arms around procedure. ... It is Republicans wrapping their arms around Republicans rather than doing the right thing on behalf of the heroes. It…
I'm just skeptical that, in the new Congress, where the Republicans get to decide what is on the floor of the House, whether they are going to let this see the light of day.
Compromise is not a vice. ... But it seems almost as if I missed the part of the fight, like, where was the fight where he said what he believed in?
It takes great courage to wait until all Members have already spoken and then stand up and wrap your arms around procedure. We see it in the United States Senate every single day when Members say, We want amendments. We want debate. We…
I just want to point out, this is not a zero-sum game. There is nothing about the single-home market that is going to be impacted by this. There is nothing about the higher cost that is going to be impacted. This is just allowing this…
If the gentleman would briefly yield, I, too, want to add my thanks to you. I don't know if they have C-SPAN in Israel, but sometimes it's easy in that little country to feel beset on all sides. We share the same common sense that they do…
I thank the gentlewoman. And as someone who represents south Florida, you know that if a boat came churning towards the coast, and let's say it came from Yemen, and it had people on it who were chanting ``Death to Floridians,'' and it…
And I would point out, that same exact offer was made to this flotilla: Come to Ashdod right here. And it wasn't made an hour before; it was made 10 days before, as soon as the word got out, even before it had left port. The nation of…
Our cooperation with the State of Israel has never been higher, in terms of military and intelligence.
Just so everyone understands the points that Mr. Nadler is making, this piece of real estate, about the size of New Jersey, now has a terrorist agent here in Gaza in the south; a terrorist agent up here in Lebanon, governed by Hezbollah…
It is also important that we recognize something else that the majority leader said about the use of human shields on that boat. There were probably some people on that boat who were completely without malice; although most of the loudest…
I appreciate his thoughts and his leadership on this. Just to put it in further context of the relationship between the United States and Israel, this is a tiny town of Sderot that you mentioned in your remarks. In the period of time since…
Ladies and gentlemen, what you saw just now is a microcosm for this debate, a real piece of legislation that for a year we have been working on and a fake document that they won't even give the source for. We are going past that, and we…
The fact of the matter is there is an enormous amount of money being socked in by the health insurance industry. They are doing everything. They are creating ads. They are making contributions. But what they are also doing is producing…
I would ask the American people to listen to the following exchange: Will the gentleman from New Jersey kindly inform the House the source of the memo that he just read from? That silence that you hear is the gentleman from New Jersey read…
Politicians like Anthony Weiner
