Dick Gephardt Vote Quotations

one of the most important votes we will take in this Congress.

Obviously, what we seek is what has been sought in the Senate, and that is a specific commitment that this will be brought up by a certain time on the floor of the House in a way that there is time for a full debate, consideration of various alternatives and an ability on the part of the House to vote on this matter before we leave.

I voted for the Reagan tax cut (in 1981). It was a mistake, ... We have to learn from history. It was a worthy experiment, but it was a mistake and ... we don't want to make it again.

Al Gore and Joe Lieberman enjoy strong support with our caucus for what they are doing to try to get every vote counted in Florida,

a partisan vote that was a disgrace to our country and our Constitution.

We've got the biggest army on the ground. And we've connected with voters out here ... People are ready to go today. I was all over the state yesterday. We've got lots of excitement.

In 1993, as House Democratic Leader, I led the fight to pass the Clinton-Gore economic plan - a plan designed to slash the deficit, invest in education, cut taxes for working families, and ask the wealthy among us to pay their fair share... Not one Republican voted for that plan. They said it was a job killer.
