Political Quotes

“I am outraged by what happened at the United Nations. I am as outraged as anyone. The U.N. certainly is not always right, and in this instance they are absolutely wrong and it is absolutely outrageous. But in trying to weigh what our reaction should be, I come down on the opposite side of the gentleman from California, the gentleman from Illinois, and the gentleman from New York, my good friends, because I do not believe that trying to blackmail nations into supporting us ever really works. I think that that is really not the way to go. I agree with everything the gentleman from California said, and I have more respect for him than almost anyone else in this body when it comes to these matters, and he was right on the money in everything he says; but I just think that our reaction ought to be different. There has been a buildup of anger at the United States because frankly, we have not been paying our dues.”
