Political Quotes

“There is always some excuse. When we have the House or the Senate, or we have both and the Presidency, there is always some excuse for why it can't be done. I will tell you this. There is no excuse for the radical march of the left creeping into everybody's life, into every decision that you make, into everything you do. It just keeps happening. Our bosses are not down here in Washington, D.C. They don't understand committee rules and the process here on the floor. What they understand is that they are getting up in the morning when it is dark outside, packing their lunch, and kissing their kids good-bye before they get on the schoolbus, and they don't know why this is happening to them, but they sure know it is happening. They think about the extra costs every single week when they are trying to manage their budget. They are like: ``We are making more money, but we still can't afford to live the way we did. We can't afford our food. We can't afford, heaven forbid, if the car breaks down.'' No, they don't understand why. What they demand, to the good gentleman from Texas, is results, is some product. They don't care about why it can't be done. They are not asking for everything to change overnight. They know we didn't get here overnight, but they want something, some win, to show them some light at the end of this tunnel, but there isn't any. I haven't seen one yet.”
