Political Quotes

“I thank the gentlewoman. Mr. Speaker, I would just ask all Members, not as Republicans and not as Democrats, but as members of the human race, and for a House that just abhors what is going on around the world and saying that this is horrible what is going on and we won't ever let this happen in our country, why would we be having this debate today? If you really want the slate to be clear, if you really want the world to see that there is nothing going on here, then let's have an open investigation so, at the end of the day--I don't care what organizations--they can walk away and say, ``See, we proved that we aren't who they say we are.'' Mr. Speaker, this is just so simple. Why would you argue against it? It actually works to their advantage if it is not true. If it is true, then why in the world would we use hard-earned American taxpayer money to fund illegal and criminal activity? That is just not who we are as Americans.”
