What if the Congress decides to refuse to even look at supplemental spending measures for the Iraq War? Nobody can make them consider it!

using that quote isn't appropriate. That was Clayton Williams, who ran against Ann Richards saying that women being raped should just sit back and enjoy it. One of the most offensive quotes ever uttered in American politics.
