I don’t care what gender someone is, or what race they are. Those things don’t matter to me. – Louie Gohmert
It began to really eat away with me that in the ’60s the federal government, desiring to help poor moms who were dealing with deadbeat dads, decided, ‘We’ll help: we’ll give a check for every child you can have out of wedlock.’ – Louie Gohmert

Anyone who thinks you can pay $3,100 to the federal government and thinks you can get that money back completely in services – like I said – he may go to M-I-T but he is an N-U-T. – Louie Gohmert
When Obamacare actually kicked in, just as we knew, if you liked your insurance, as I did – I had a health savings account – then I wasn’t going to be able to keep it because it doesn’t meet the requirements. – Louie Gohmert
The dirty little secret on Wall Street: Eighty percent of the Wall Street executives’ and their spouses’ donations go to Democrats. It’s like they’ve got some kind of little sweet deal, where we’ll call you fat cats and demean you and stuff, but you will get richer than your wildest dreams. – Louie Gohmert
It’s OK to burn a Bible, that’s OK. OK to burn a flag, OK, that’s all right. But just, you know, for heaven’s sake, don’t say anything that might offend someone of the Islamic religion. – Louie Gohmert

Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people’s money. Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists, and they die waiting to get the treatment and care. So you don’t go broke. – Louie Gohmert
It is true what is said in Washington – ‘No matter how cynical you get, it’s never enough to catch up.’ – Louie Gohmert
I think it’s time… that we reform Congress to the point where all public assistance comes in one single committee. One area where all public assistance can be located, and it will be easy to see all the duplications, all the waste, so much easier to see areas where fraud is running rampant. – Louie Gohmert

Whether you’re president or speaker, if you’re wrong, we need to stand up and point it out. That’s what Martin Luther King had talked about: being judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin. So some of us pounded away on some of the ridiculous policies of Pelosi – and lo and behold, over time, the public began to see. – Louie Gohmert
