Political Quotes

“More costly disclosures continue to come out about the government health care takeover. And why should we be surprised, when Speaker Pelosi told the American people that we need to--and I quote--``pass the bill so we can find out what is in it''? The more we find out, the worse it looks. The latest analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reveals that the health care takeover will cost at least $115 billion more than originally estimated.

Washington must stop promising one thing and delivering another, particularly when it comes to price tags.

In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism. My sympathy to the family of Betty Jackson Mack of Gaston, South Carolina.”
