Famous quotes and sentences with the word congressmen.
1
Roy Acuff
I've done a whole lot of things. I've had the pleasure of introducing two presidents, several senators and congressmen.
2
Paul Bremer
Iraq has become, for better or for worse, the front on the war on terrorism, and so we've got to do this, and I can understand why congressmen and senators would take their responsibility seriously, but I think in the end we'll get the money.
3
Herman Cain
I'm not a professional politician. I'm a professional problem solver, and I believe we should cut the salaries of senators and congressmen 10 percent until they balance the budget. I call that conservative common sense.
4
Bernard Goldberg
I have a big problem when the sanctimonious, holier than thou congressmen and women go on national television for six hours and beat somebody up with a stick, and not because I'm 'Ms. Manners.' That's not what bothers me. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
5
Bill Maher
What Democratic congressmen do to their women staffers, Republican congressmen do to the country.
6
Eric Massa
Congressmen spend between five and seven hours a day on the phone, begging for money.

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
8
Linda Sanchez
Congresswomen are congresswomen - you are, sorry. And for women who want to be congressmen, there's a screw loose in their head. I'm proud of being a woman. I think 'congresswoman' is the appropriate term, and 'Madame chair' is just fine with me.
9
James Green Somerville
There are congressmen in our congregation, judges, federal reserve governors. And there are also people who are homeless and some who are mentally ill. To be able to talk to each of those people is something that I've had to learn how to do over the years.
10
Jackie Speier
I don't know what these Republican congressmen drink that make them experts on women's reproductive health.
