Political Quotes

“I echo the words of my friend, Senator Enzi from Wyoming, about Senator Kennedy. I have had the honor for only 15 months now to serve on his and Senator Enzi's HELP Committee. Even more important than Senator Enzi points out and even more important than Senator Kennedy's passion for his work, his commitment to social and economic justice and his never, ever giving up in fighting for those things he believes in, is what Senator Kennedy does personally for all kinds of people, including people who don't live in his State, people whom he has never met, people who walk down the hall. He brings them into his office and gives them a book, written by Senator Kennedy, but in the name of his dog Splash. And he talks to children. Again, they are people Senator Kennedy doesn't even know, who can do nothing for him politically. He gives so much in those ways. As Senator Enzi does, I hope Senator Kennedy will be back here as strong as ever. He has used that energy and passion for so many others, and he will put that same energy and passion into being cured. We all look forward to that day in the fairly near future.”
