Political Quotes

“today we saw that Minority Leader Pelosi and the Democrats unveiled their plan for securing America. No big surprises. They slammed the President and demanded immediate withdrawal from the Middle East. And they called that immediate withdrawal ``redeployment'' to try and soften what is absolutely an awful policy.

They are also acting like we have shortchanged funding for first responders when we have spent millions upon millions that we have never before dedicated to emergency response at the local level.
