I rise on the floor because there have been so many people in my constituency that are wondering about why did I vote in support of China going into the WTO, and at the same time we all are complaining about our failure to abide by the…

To believe that people who are used to working hard, having dignity, having pride in their kids, just because the candidate for President made another mistake, that we're going to have to now legislate something to show that we think he…

I thank you for allowing me this opportunity to participate in the Republican Presidential campaign, because that's exactly what this is. I saw a commercial with a white guy with leather gloves on working and sweating, and, oh, God. It…
