Political Quotes

“last week the Democratic leadership sat outside in the rain moaning and groaning and grandstanding for the television cameras about the Republican plan to preserve and strengthen Medicare and increase spending on Medicare. What do others have to say about that? The Washington Post calls them ``medigogues.'' Former Congressman, Democratic Congressman, Tim Penny calls their tactic the ``Medicare mistake.'' He says: There was a time when Democrats were willing to act responsibly, but by politicizing the issue, Democrats are threatening the viability of the very program they created. He goes on to say: We cannot afford to ignore Medicare's shaky financial situation or put it off until after the next election. It is just too important. So, what have the Democrats done? Nothing. Where is their plan? Nowhere. Mr. Speaker, that is not surprising for people who do not even know enough to come in from out of the rain.”
