Political Quotes

“we are approaching Memorial Day, and I think most of us would like to get home. I certainly have plans for the weekend, wanting to be home with my family and friends and with those that we are going to honor who have given so much to this country. But today, as many of my colleagues before me, I rise to support and thank our men and women in uniform who are serving our country and protecting our freedoms and our opportunity to come to this floor, all around the globe. Like my colleagues, I strongly support a robust military, as do all Americans, I think, and certainly in this House on both sides of the aisle, but I am shocked that I have heard Members come to this floor and allude to someone on either side of the aisle who is not supportive of our military. We could correct that very quickly. We have a bill before us. All we have to do is take the things out that should not be in it, that are not tied to our military, and the bill would have passed last evening.”
