This has been a political flop, and it's our task to make it a political success.
— Ernest Hollings
I was misled. I voted for that thing. But how was I misled? Number one, you had aluminum tubes, you had mushroom clouds, you had yellow cake, you had the Vice President saying they reconstituted nuclear.
In today's atmosphere, I fear that cooperating on anything for the good of the country will prove extremely difficult.
I believe it would be helpful for all of us to consider the example of bipartisan cooperation and collegiality set by many of our predecessors.
By whatever mutations the gods of politics brew, there has to be a return to political civility, whose end result is to the nation's benefit.
