Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 15, 1995
fairy tales could come true, it could happen to you. We are going to be listening to a lot of nonsense on the floor, poppycock, bogus, misleading false information. This is the kind of rhetoric that is coming out of the other side. It is manufactured dialogue with no basis in fact or reality, and I think we ought not to lose sight of that, Mr. Chairman. The fact of the matter is that we are doing the necessary business of the Nation as asked of us on November 8 of 1994. We are making the tough decisions, and we are not hurting children, we are not hurting veterans, and we are not hurting senior citizens, and it is unconscionable of the other side to raise that kind of false rhetoric.
