“When I was secretary of state, I had to be responsible for getting a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia through the Senate. We needed, I think, 13 Republican votes to get to 67.

Probably not, because you really didn't think the Republican Party was going to change their stripes and start acting on all this.” ThinkingFeelsSaidTwoShowsAsksHousePartyActingNeededRepublicanVoteLet MeElectionFolksTeaWinnerEmsSenateThey SaidRepublican PartyTea PartyStripes Author:Rush Limbaugh
