Political Quotes

“this is a good bill. I am proud to be a cosponsor. It should pass. This is a bad rule and it should be voted down. As was indicated, this bill is virtually identical to the bill that passed last year. One major exception, the ban on frequent flier miles has been ripped out of this bill. Why has it been ripped out? It has been ripped out because the laws that have been passed that we want to have applied here don't affect you as individuals. They affect the U.S. Government, because that is where the liability is. But the frequent flier prohibition strikes right at the people in this room. The people in this room should not use frequent flier miles for personal use. It is hypocrisy of the highest order that is not being dealt with this bill when it was dealt with in the bill we passed last fall. There is only one explanation, and that is greed. The Members who want to use frequent flier miles for personal use are ripping off the taxpayers of this country, and it is wrong and it should be stopped today. So if you believe in bipartisanship, vote this rule down and let us do this right.”
