Political Quotes

“I'll tell you how indefensible it is. The provision that said that Congresspeople and their staffs were kept out of the Federal insurance plans and put into the exchanges was drafted by Charles Grassley, a Republican from Ohio, who said, on September 26, that he never intended that to take away the employer subsidies that congressional staffers have gotten for years and years and years, like every other employee in America.

PolitiFact said it was the biggest lie of the year. They said there were death panels--biggest lie of the year. This will give them a triumvirate, the three biggest lies of the year.

It's cruel and wrong. They deserve health care, too. ____________________”
