Great Quotes from House GOP
Politico and House Republican Leader John Boehner’s blog have some great quotes from House Republicans about the Republican Revolt and the Democrats’ do-nothing attitude about skyrocketing energy costs.
From Rep. Mike Pence:
“We believe that Congress should reconvene because Americans will not take a vacation due to gasoline prices….Congress should not be out.”
“The American people won’t get a vacation from high gasoline prices, so why should Congress take a five week vacation?”
From Rep. Steve King:
“We produce more renewable energy in our district than in any of the 434 other districts. In our land, we know about energy. Not Pe-la-la-losi-land! Here, we know what we’re talking about.”
[Puts up a huge poster of Pelosi] : “This is her dilemma: ‘I am trying to save the planet, I am trying to save the planet!’ She wants the planet restored to some imagined state of being. She says she wants to save the planet but doesn’t show concern for the homo sapiens that live on it! She doesn’t want our standard of living to go up, she doesn’t want more energy. We might as well backtrack and start at the Garden of Eden.”
From Rep. Jim Jordan:
“Most politicians don’t see the light, they feel the heat.”
From Rep. John Kline:
“There’s a saying that everything has been said but not everyone has said it, now it’s my turn. The question is what has Congress has done about the price of gasoline. The answer: Congress has done nothing.”
From Rep. Thaddeus McCotter:
“This is the people’s House. This is not Pelosi’s politburo.”
