Political Quotes

“I do not want to suggest it is only, but we do have a solid block that is clearly a majority. They are going to prevail. Let me suggest maybe we can save a lot of frustration and time, and that is why do we not take the next 2 weeks on the entire Contract With America, bring it here on the floor. Why should we offer any amendments if they are not going to be considered as substantive and changing the legislation to perhaps meet the needs of the American people, but recognize the power of the majority, and it is all here and we have that majority, why do not we just run through the entire contract for America in 2 weeks, get that behind us, and then get to the substantive action? I would like to suggest to my friends in the majority that they set aside, maybe beginning next week, a 10-day period, bring every piece of legislation that they have to the floor, let us put it up to a vote.”
