You don't want to give anybody certainty. You don't want to give anybody permanency. There is no time in my life that I would ever say to my friends, my family, or anybody I represent, This is just a temporary thing for me. Tomorrow, I may have a change of heart. I just ask my friends, H.R. 641--Mr. Thompson is on this piece. Let's make sure that we move forward for America. Let's make sure that we set ground aside for the future." @ PoliticalQuotes.com

I am just asking our friends on the other side, let's think about what is good for the people we represent and not what is just good for the moment. We have always done this in the past.
