Political Quotes

“I would like to join the Senator from Mississippi in paying tribute to the Senator from Kansas, the distinguished majority leader. All of us who have served in this body can tell stories--even those of us who have served a very short period of time, such as myself--that reflect the qualities of Bob Dole's leadership. Those of us who are partisan Republicans can only hope that a majority of American citizens can get to know Bob Dole as well as we know him. If they do, then those of us who would like to see Bob Dole be President know that the American people would choose wisely in that case. We recognize our partisanship in this matter, but I think even those who are on the other side of the aisle would acknowledge that the majority leader is a man of great character, judgment, and leadership skills that, frankly, are greater than most public servants who have the opportunity to represent people in this country. So I join with my colleague from Mississippi in paying tribute to the majority leader, and I wish him well in his future endeavors.”
