Political Quotes

“This afternoon sometime, I will reintroduce my bill calling for a mandatory draft, making certain that every young person has an opportunity one way or the other to serve this great nation of ours, whether we're talking about in our schools, our hospitals, or just to provide some public service. But the main part of this bill is that the President, when he asked us to declare war, or however we get involved in these things with loss of lives, we're going to have these people that come to the well and explain how we have to get involved, we have to fight, we can't give up, to see whether or not if their kids and grandchildren were mandated that they would have to go into these areas and put themselves in harm's way, how soon it will be before we take another look at this. Let me congratulate the gentleman from Ohio for allowing our priests, our rabbis, our ministers to recognize that we're talking about human lives being lost because of our concern about oil in this part of the world. It hasn't got a darn thing to do with our national security. I just hope and pray that one day we would be able to say we know we made a mistake and withdraw from this type of thing now and for the future of this great country. Thank you for this opportunity.”
