Political Quotes

“Mr. DeLAY. Mr. Chairman, I really appreciate the gentleman from Virginia bringing this because it is amazing to me only the supporters of Shays-Meehan can define what reform is. Anybody else that brings anything to this bill are not supporters of reform.

Let us just get rid of all the red herrings that have been put out in this debate. This is not national ID cards. This is not using Social Security numbers to vote. This is not even a poison pill.

You have to prove that you know how to drive to get your driver's license. For the most important act that Americans can do, the right to vote, you would think that it would be an honor to bring proof of citizenship to the table when you are registering to vote; not every time you vote.”
