Political Quotes

“President Bush, Senator Frist, and the majority leader, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay) are in a quest for absolute power in Washington, even if it means corrupting our government and the vision of our Founding Fathers. The White House has manufactured a judicial crisis. Since the President took office, the Senate confirmed 208 of his judicial nominees and turned back only 10, a 95 percent confirmation rate. That rate is the highest approval rating for any President in modern times, higher than Reagan, Bush Senior and Clinton. The President presides over the lowest court vacancy rate in 25 years. But 95 percent is not good enough for this White House. They want to have it all. That is simply not how it is supposed to work, and America sees this for what it is, an extreme power grab by the majority party. Our country knows that our country works best when no political party has absolute power. ____________________”
