ELECTORATE VOTES TO STOP OBAMA
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on October 2, the
President promised, ``I'm not on the ballot this fall, but my policies
are on the ballot.''
Clearly, America, which is not stupid, voted last Tuesday to stop his
policies, which destroy jobs at home and weaken national defense
abroad.
On Sunday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution lead editorial explained,
``The electorate took a peach tree switch to the donkey's
hindquarters,'' resulting in Georgia and South Carolina achieving
returning Republican victories for all statewide and Federal offices
for the first time in 136 years.
Failed policies should stop and together we should work for positive
change, such as opening Yucca Mountain to reduce the environmental risk
of nuclear waste. The Boston Globe editorialized, ``Resume funding the
Yucca Mountain project,'' and ``Democrats should recognize that.''
Additionally, the Keystone pipeline should be completed to promote
energy independence with hundreds of permanent jobs in my home
communities with Michelin of Lexington and MTU of Graniteville.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President should take
action to never forget September the 11th in the global war on
terrorism.
