Bob Price (Texas Politician)
Robert Dale Price, known as Bob Price (September 7, 1927 – August 24, 2004), was a Republican U.S. representative from Pampa, Texas, who served from 1967 to 1975. He was subsequently from 1978 to 1981 a member of the Texas State Senate.
Considered to have been among the most conservative members of his party, Price was only the second Republican since Reconstruction to hold the 18th District U.S. House seat. The first Republican representative from the since reconfigured district, Ben H. Guill, also of Pampa, held the seat for eight months in 1950.

Famous quotes containing the words bob and/or price:
“It was because of me. Rumors reached Inman that I had made a deal with Bob Dole whereby Dole would fill a paper sack full of doggie poo, set it on fire, put it on Inman’s porch, ring the doorbell, and then we would hide in the bushes and giggle when Inman came to stamp out the fire. I am not proud of this. But this is what we do in journalism.”
—Roger Simon, U.S. syndicated columnist. Quoted in Newsweek, p. 15 (January 31, 1990)
“The price we pay for the complexity of life is too high. When you think of all the effort you have to put in—telephonic, technological and relational—to alter even the slightest bit of behaviour in this strange world we call social life, you are left pining for the straightforwardness of primitive peoples and their physical work.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
