Political Quotes

“this evening I rise with several of my colleagues and a number from my North Carolina delegation to talk about our favorite son, John Edwards, as well as our ticket. John Edwards is from a little place in Moore County called Robbins, North Carolina. He currently resides in our State capital of Raleigh. I normally do not respond to things some people say on the floor, and I find it a bit of interest earlier that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle knew so much about him, they wanted to quote from the Wall Street Journal. There are a few people in North Carolina who read the Wall Street Journal, but if he really wants to know about John Edwards, I would suggest he read the Raleigh News and Observer, probably the Charlotte Observer or a lot of our weekly papers, and he would find a lot out about John Edwards. If he had been in Raleigh on Saturday, he would have had the opportunity to see about 20,000 people standing in the hot July sun, over 90 degrees for 4 hours, to welcome home John Edwards and Presidential nominee John Kerry and their wives Elizabeth and Teresa to Raleigh, North Carolina. It was a wonderful celebration of the first North Carolinian on the Presidential ticket in modern times.”
