Political Quotes

“it seems to me that integrity begins at home. Or, more particularly, integrity begins in this House. Every Member of this House will have an opportunity to go on record concerning the integrity of the proceedings of this House and of its Members today. When the privileged resolution is presented, if you believe in a fair and impartial investigation, you vote ``aye''. If you believe in a cover up, you vote ``no''. If you believe that this House should be muzzled and that this issue should not get a full and fair airing, you vote for Dick Armey's motion to muzzle. This resolution, in its enacting clause, is one sentence. It does not prejudge charges, as some have done in their remarks here today. It simply instructs the Ethics Committee to immediately transmit the remaining charges against Speaker Gingrich to the outside counsel for his investigation and recommendations. How could anyone oppose, given the way these charges have lingered for over 6 months in the committee, simply referring them to the outside counsel to fully and thoroughly investigate them and take such action as is appropriate. That is where integrity begins.”
