More Republican Senator Quotes

Two committees in the house were up all night long trying to get a version of the repeal of the Affordable Care Act passed.

Folks, let me ask you a question about that. You voted in 2010, 2014. You're part of the Tea Party and you show up and you just vote. Republicans said they needed the House, and you gave it to 'em; then they said they needed the Senate, and you gave it to 'em. Do you feel like winners even after those two elections? Probably not, because you really didn't think the Republican Party was going to change their stripes and start acting on all this. — Rush Limbaugh
Senator McCain is all for John Kerry. Do you know they're buddies? McCain is in favor of Kerry being secretary of state.

He's not a Republican. — Rush Limbaugh
