Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, this was a good day. And one of the reasons it's a good day is because Gabby Giffords is back. Mr. Speaker, she is one of the best things in this Congress. To me, she came back tonight, cast her vote, the first vote since she was attacked. And she is a perfect example of bipartisanship. I have had the privilege to work with her on the issue of border security. And while she was in the hospital recovering in my hometown of Houston, Texas, her staff in Arizona hosted me so I could go down to the border and see firsthand the problems of border security in Arizona. I think she is a model for the attitude that we should all have. She is tenacious and she is relentless in her love for America and her desire to do what's right and represent the people in Arizona that elected her here. So welcome back, Gabby Giffords. You were missed, and we're glad you're back. And that's just the way it is. ____________________”
