I will hold to that commitment, ... that in no way would imply that I have some personal knowledge about how each of my colleagues, Republicans and Democrats, are going to vote. I don't. |
I would advise them not to skip anything at this point. They're legally bound to fill out the forms and I think it would be very precarious for anyone to choose to comply or not to comply. |
I would give this Congress a B for achievement, a D for behavior and the overall assessment of incomplete, |
I would like to think they are honest differences of opinion, ... That's my story right now, and I'm sticking to it. |
I'd have to say that we could do a lot better than Harvey Pitt in that position today, ... huge disappointment. |
I'd love to be able to say I told you so, |
I'm absolutely confident that our Democrats feel much more strongly about this tax plan then they did the last one, |
I'm concerned about international developments that may or may not legitimately have any effect on the consequences of this legislation, |
I'm disappointed really that the House is going off on all of its tangents once again, ... The capital gains cut apparently is alive and well over there and an array of other things that are just handouts to those who probably don't need it. |
I'm disappointed, really, that the House is going off on all of its tangents once again, ... The capital gains cut, apparently, is alive and well over there, and an array of other things that are just handouts to those who probably don't need it. |
I'm equally dismayed that House managers have already chosen to contact witnesses. And then, to announce a witness reluctance to participate until they know the circumstances, that is in clear violation of the agreement that we had last week. And I hope it's not a harbinger of the politicized process that we have all said we oppose, |
I'm going to do as much as possible to draft a resolution that can be supported by the broadest coalition of senators. We have, in my view, come some distance. We've got a long way to go before that can be achieved, |
I'm prepared to see how this works, |
I'm still wondering what it is about Mr. Ridge's job that would keep the administration from wanting him to come to the Capitol to talk about the many responsibilities he has, |
I'm very disappointed and somewhat surprised that there has been that kind of activity this early, ... It certainly violates the spirit of the agreement that we just all agreed to last week. |
