Political Quotes

“we have been waiting for a vote on campaign finance reform now for literally years. Years. My question to somebody on the other side is, how in the world could the debate on the rule on this bill have possibly been canceled again? My understanding through the grapevine is that we are actually not going to do the rule again tonight. In other words, my understanding is that we are going to walk away tonight again not having done the rule, again not having started debate on the Shays- Meehan bill that we were promised a vote on over and over and over again. Mr. Speaker, I hope someone on the other side can give me some justification, just a little bit of justification as to why we are canceling this debate on this rule again. It is outrageous. Mr. Speaker, this has been canceled five times, this rule. And I cannot believe we are going to walk out of here before we vote on this rule. The American people are demanding a vote. I will yield to whoever can explain this to me.”
