Political Quotes

“without a doubt, this Congress today can go down in history as the biggest do-nothing Congress in memory. It has done less work on this floor in 3 months than the ordinary American would do in 3 weeks. Indeed, if we really think about all the important issues that have been taken up here, this Congress could have met for 3 days and gone home. Having achieved the ability to do nothing better than anyone else noticed in this country, this Gingrich Congress will tomorrow declare ``National Do-Nothing Day'' on campaign finance reform. I see for years they have been promising to do something to fix the corrupting influence of campaign dollars, and tomorrow they will devote a couple of hours to talking about it and then doing nothing. They have cut off any real debate on proposals, not only of Democrats, but some of the Republicans who came forward with specific proposals to fix this perverted, broken system. This Gingrich Congress defends doing it the same old way to let the tobacco companies come in here and dump billions of dollars into this corrupt system.”
