Political Quotes

“we have a town down there in Texas called Wink and a number spread out across the State that are so small they could be called Blink because you would blink and miss them. That is the way it is with Reform Week here in this Congress. You blink and you miss it because they just abandoned it. Instead of the reform Congress, this has become the roadblock Congress and so much of the roadblock that they would throw up is to our seniors on Medicare. Because if they are ultimately successful with their plan to erect roadblocks to access to care, as Speaker Newt Gingrich said with pride last year and with shame this year, "Medicare will wither on the vine." You see, it was not just one comment. It was the similar comment of Majority Leader Armey that he views Medicare as an imposition on his freedom and more than the comments is the action. Instead of reforming this Congress and changing business as usual, they concentrate their efforts on weakening and dismantling the Medicare system that is serving so many of our Nation's seniors. Let us reject their Medicare approach and hold them accountable for their outrageous comments.”
