Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 22, 1994
with all the furor over Ed Rollins and the unsubstantiated allegations of electoral shenanigans, I thought our colleagues might be interested to learn that the only proven case of race-based voter fraud in America last year occurred in the Pennsylvania State Senate election in Philadelphia. The word from the court has come down, and its results are explosive. A Federal district court ordered the results of the election overturned. The judge found that the campaign of Democrat Bill Stinson engaged in massive ballot fraud, deception, intimidation, harassment, and forgery. In fact, the judge ruled that Stinson and his Democrat party hacks had stolen the election by misleading Latino Americans into filing hundreds of fraudulent absentee ballots. The judge ruled that Republican Bruce Marks be declared the winner, and seated in the State senate today, giving Republicans control of that body. Unlike the Rollins fiasco, this is real life, not just the self-congratulatory musings of a victorious consultant. Bill Stinson and his cronies deliberately duped Philadelphia Latinos in order to further their own political careers. The smell of rank corruption is heavy in the air. It might be nice if even a few of those who were so outraged by the Rollins allegations were to stand up today and applaud the courageous decision of Judge Clarence Newcomber. He found the facts, he applied the law, he brought justice at last to this tawdry tale.

I do not understand this amendment because we reached a compromise on the floor of the House last year, and it was not as my colleagues said, Republicans. In fact, I have the vote here. It was 243 to 172. The last time I checked, there are…
