"I thought it would take years for a new member to become a player," McHenry said.

Obviously, he's still got a bit to learn.

Real PLAYERS never admit to being one.

It would be interesting to get some inside information on him.
He sure comes from a beautiful district.

This is the absolute truth, IMO. They take our money by force to finance their little posturing power-grabbing games. To paraphrase Patrick Henry, the tree of liberty should be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.

P.S. I also like the one that says "government is like fire: a useful servant and a fearful master." Paraphrasing again -- I think that was Ben Franklin.
