Political Quotes

“virtually every day John Kerry and his campaign are telling America that our best days are not ahead, that our economy is not growing, and that President Bush has not waged a tough war on terrorism. Fortunately, most Americans, as we hear when we are out in our districts, as we see in the polls, most Americans are seeing through Candidate Kerry's empty rhetoric. For the past several months, our economy has shown strong growth. I have here with me tonight an article from the National Tennessean. It is headlined ``Nashville area added 11,308 in fiscal year 2003-2004.'' The article notes that these 11,308 jobs are five times last year's total. Mr. Kerry may not want people to know, but this is an indication of real economic growth and what is happening out there in the heartland. No matter what John Kerry or CBS might tell us, President Bush and this Congress are making the right decisions for our economy and for the war on terrorism. Another subject that has been getting a great deal of attention from the left is health care, specifically the Health Savings Accounts that were created last year by this body. And for months Kerry and the Democrats have been calling choice, flexibility, and ownership in health care a bad idea. But they are absolutely wrong. The Health Savings Accounts are all about giving the consumer power over their health coverage, over health decisions, and over those precious health care dollars.”
