Joe Barton: “I bet not one of the panelists has offered a way to pay for it.”

That's hard to stomach. We wouldn't be having this discussion if there wasn't a general agreement that your company has discriminated against conservatives, most of whom happen to be Republican.

I was very heartened by the opening comments of Mr. Rush and Mr. Pallone.

I think it's good to have this and I think it's very good that we try to work to tighten up and, as the gentlelady just said, let's determine what the real intent is and then legislate accordingly.

It is always good to have hearings like this to try to, through bipartisan basis, get facts on the table.
