Political Quotes

“I, too, would like to lend a few comments to one we fondly regarded as the ``Little Giant,'' Senator Paul Wellstone. I, obviously, had an opportunity over the years to converse, discuss, debate, agree--occasionally disagree--with our friend who truly believed in his cause, a cause that was perhaps more liberal than my own, but a cause that was reflected on what makes the Senate so unique; that is, the cause of the balance that we have, more or less a mainstream of thought that prevails in the Senate. But in many cases it is brought about by those who have very active views, whether they be liberals or conservatives. But Paul Wellstone did represent, if you will, the pendulum in the Senate. His contribution was one of activism, of standing for the underdog, of reflecting on the needs of some we can never properly repay; specifically, the veterans of this Nation who have given so much so that we can live in the freedom of our democracy.”
