                     CONSERVATIVES WON THE ELECTION

  (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. Madam Speaker, Democrats in the Senate 
should work with the Republicans to act on the continuing resolution. 
House Republicans successfully passed a bill over 40 days ago, and 
Senate Democrats have still not acted. Liberals in the Senate claim to 
have a plan of their own. Rather than voting on this plan, Senate 
Democrats have resorted to petty political gamesmanship.
  Conservatives won the election in November. The American people spoke 
clearly, they want to put a halt to reckless spending. This is the 
conservative position in Congress. Any compromise should incorporate 
views of the American people. The Tea Party has made a difference. 
While liberals are encouraging a government shutdown, conservatives in 
Congress have passed a bill that would avoid this event. Leaders are 
expected to make tough decisions in difficult times. Continuing with 
one-line gimmicks to curry political favor is another political ploy in 
Washington that shows liberals are just out of touch with America. The 
American people know that reckless borrowing is a threat to American 
families. Young people know that debts are being passed to them.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
