Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 13, 2014
Madam Speaker, earlier this week, our friends on the other side of the Capitol, the Democrats, burned the midnight oil in a strange effort to call attention to global warming. Unfortunately, for some of our friends in the Senate, hot air from the Chamber will not bring down the temperature in our atmosphere. Instead of stoking the rhetorical flames through hours of meaningless grandstanding, I hope the Democrat Senate will use some of its time to hotline the critical job-creating bills that have been put on ice on Harry Reid's desk. Madam Speaker, our constituents don't want to be left out in the cold. We need action today on bills to create jobs. Madam Speaker, I hope Members of this body will join me and hold the Democrat Senate's feet to the fire by calling on them to pass bills that will refire America's economic engine. ____________________

We certainly want our environment to be clean, and I am right out there with everybody on that, but we have to get these permits done to create jobs.

Sadly, over the course of the past year, we have lost a lot of influence throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
