   THE EDWARDS AND KERRY LIBERAL AGENDA IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICA

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday the most 
liberal Member of the Senate chose the fourth most liberal Member of 
the Senate to become his running mate for Presidency of the United 
States.
  It is important for Americans to know the truth about John Edwards' 
liberal voting record that is out of touch with the mainstream values 
of America. John Edwards voted twice against President Bush's tax 
relief that has lifted the economy and helped create 1.5 million new 
jobs since August. John Edwards voted twice against the new 
prescription drug benefit added to Medicare that will help seniors live 
longer at reduced cost. John Edwards has voted against banning partial 
birth abortions. John Edwards has said he is against the Defense of 
Marriage Act. John Edwards has voted to cut billions from our military. 
John Edwards has also voted six times against President Bush's plan for 
the new Department of Homeland Security.
  John Edwards is the same as John Kerry, a liberal Senator that does 
not represent the mainstream values of America.
  In conclusion, may God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11.
