Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker and my colleagues, today we welcome Frank Lucas to the Chamber as our newest Member from the Sixth District of Oklahoma. The Sixth District of Oklahoma for the last 20 years has sent democrats to Washington. As a matter of fact, the district is a 2 to 1 Democrat majority district. It should not surprise a lot of people that they sent them. Why did they send a Republican? Could it be they do not want higher taxes, larger government? Could it be they do not want national health care and the Government controlling their health care system? Perhaps they do not feel like they are getting their money's worth from their hard-earned tax dollars out of Washington back to their district. I think the people of Oklahoma have made a wise decision. I think they have also sent a message to all of us in this Chamber that it is time the U.S. Congress listens clearly to the American people that do not want higher taxes and larger bureaucratic government. We ought to head their advice.”
