The thing that bothers me is painting everybody, to keep referring to this side. Why? We may have some liberals over here, we may have some moderates, we may have some conservatives, but I do believe one thing, we do have patriotism over here. We do care about our country, and I know this gentleman cares about his country. The only reason that I mentioned those other facts are the words, the words out there. That is the only reason. Let us keep this debate on a high level. I can assure the gentleman from California that this gentleman would want to investigate anything that has to do with nuclear weapons." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
