William F. Smith: “so Senator Kerry has picked Senator Edwards as his running mate. That means the Senator with the most liberal voting…”

On the recordJuly 6, 2004
so Senator Kerry has picked Senator Edwards as his running mate. That means the Senator with the most liberal voting record has picked the person with the fourth most-liberal voting record. That does not sound like mainstream to me, and certainly their views do not represent the majority of the American people. Both Senators Kerry and Edwards voted against the ban on partial birth abortion. Both have opposed all of the recent tax relief legislation. Both Senators voted against sending our troops in Iraq and providing them with body armor, and both favor amnesty for illegal immigrants. Mr. Speaker, Senators Kerry and Edwards are out of tune, out of line, out of touch, and out of step with most Americans.
