Political Quotes

“So the Tea Party has successfully shut down the operations of the Federal Government. And why have they done it? Well, they've done it because they're worried: They're worried about the danger that the Affordable Care Act is going to work and people are going to like it; They're worried about the danger that people with preexisting conditions are going to be covered; They're worried about the danger that women are going to qualify for preventative health care services; They're worried about the danger that children living at home up to age 26 are going to be covered under their parents' insurance policies; They're worried about the danger that seniors are going to save money on their prescription drugs as the Medicare part D doughnut hole closes. What they're worried about is that the Affordable Care Act is going to work and people are going to like it. Mr. Speaker, the Tea Party thinks these things are dangerous, so they shut down the government. But with all respect, I say to you, it is the Tea Party--it is the Tea Party, itself. They are the danger. ____________________”
