When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We`re proud of him. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn`t have had all these problems over all these years either.
You've got to do that every now and then. Even though you might get your little flak from some of the people within your conference. It's called leadership.
I think if they would go back to the old way of getting things done, carefully and systematically, would really help them.
First of all, there's going to be an election and the numbers will be different come this fall. And you're going to need leadership from the President and from the leaders in the Congress.
