Peter DeFazio actually said...

"the Republicans are saying the sequestration, which they created, which has cut your budget back to below 2008 year levels, is politically motivated"

"this is absolutely the height of hypocrisy, the fact that we're here today trying to figure out why the parks are closed because of a government shutdown"

"Are we meeting here today to amplify the efforts of Senator Cruz, Senator Lee and Sarah Palin last Sunday on the networks?"

"The Republican-caused government shutdown is irresponsible, causing credible economic hardships to the public servants you have put out of work."
