Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman. What I would like those Americans who are listening to us and watching us on C-Span tonight to think about is to imagine that their mother or father, their elderly parent, lies in a bed in a hospital, with a condition that is fatal, and the doctor takes you outside the room and says, ``It does not look good for your mom or your dad. It does not look like he or she is going to make it,'' and why. And you say, ``Isn't there anything that you can do?'' And the doctor says, ``Well, there is a device that has been developed in our country, it has been tested in Europe, and it seems to be working in cases just like this, in France and in England and in Italy. And if I had that, if it was legal for me to use that, I would take your mom or your dad to surgery right away, we would implant that device, and I think the prognosis would be excellent. But it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it has been sitting there for years, and until I can get it, there is nothing I can do.''”
