On the recordOctober 8, 2013
One of the things that I have enjoyed in this House is sincerity. There's not a Member of this House that thinks the President of the United States is going to delay, repeal, or tear apart the Affordable Care Act; but if there's politics involved, I understand that. I'm a politician. It just seems to me that if you have a plan, a strategy, and the whole world is saying that a handful of people are destroying the credibility of the Republican Party and therefore taking down the Democrats and the Congress with them--even the President of the United States--then I think it's safe to say it's time to look for some credibility so that we can regain being a two-party system. So I didn't come here this morning to get arrested, but I did, because there are tens of thousands and millions of people that want to become Americans. They don't want to knock Republicans. They don't want to knock Democrats. They want to be Americans. Bring up the immigration bill. Let's vote these new, wonderful citizens in, and maybe they can bring some sense to the parties. ____________________
