On the recordDecember 7, 2005
How many names do you want as to why we don't do it again? I can tell you why we don't. We on this side would welcome the opportunity. I don't think that the general public and the voters like to see us fighting each other. But there has not been one issue that the Republicans would allow us to work with them on. And further to that, even when you have your conferences, you know and I know Democrats are excluded from it. So if you and I were trying to work together, I am certain that we could. But you and I don't call the shots around here, Mr. Shaw, and that is unfortunate.
