Gohmert Named Most Quotable Congressman

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tyler’s own Louie Gohmert tops a list of most quotable congressmen in Washington. The Capitol Hill newspaper “Roll Call” also puts Texans Ted Poe and Steve Stockman in the top 10 — Stockman at number 8, Poe at number 10. Among the Gohmert quotes cited: “We’re faced with a big threat. What’s our response? Are we gonna get tough and not let ’em get away with it? No, we turn tail and run.” From Stockman: “Stop having them intimidate you. Stand up for our Constitution. Fight for the Constitution! Don’t back down!” And Poe is quoted as saying, “The IRS wants to be exempted from Obamacare — and so do Americans. And that’s just the way it is.”
