Election Quotes

Elections are a time for verbal acrobatics, political snafus and brickbats flying all over. Murky pasts are raked up, double innuendos are made out of each remark, deeds (or misdeeds) are meticulously examined. Our political leaders seemed to have made a career in making ribald quotes on the most solemn issues. On this page, read some "interesting" quotes by George W Bush and John Kerry.
