Political Quotes

“Well, truly, we are friends, and there is not a person over there I don't consider my dear friend. A lot of times, that is used in a very colloquial way, but I mean it. The Senator from Nebraska, let me--from Kansas--let me just say this. Excuse me for pronouncing the wrong State here. You don't have a problem on this side with the 30-hour wait. That has never been. We very seldom object on anything. That is not where the problem comes from. So everyone thinking that we are going to make everybody stay here for 30 hours--that is not going to happen from the Democrats objecting. We will not. There is not a person I have spoken to who is going to stop it. What they want to do is, in good faith, get to the bill. Once we get to that bill--and in the meantime, they said: Well, let's get on the bill. Can't we at least get on it and work on it? Usually we don't move to that unless there is good faith in the beginning. Right now, there is very little good faith there from the top end of the food chain. That is the sad scenario we are in. But I can assure you, as soon as there is an agreement, we are moving, unless somebody on your side would object. There are no objections on this side. So I would hope that you all you would not use that 30-hour obstruction because it is not here. I will have a chance to speak about this more, but I just thank you because I know rural--your State is rural, my State is rural, and it is the same.…”
