Joel Hefley: “to hear the liberals call for campaign finance reform is like Marv Albert scolding Mike Tyson for using his biting…”

“to hear the liberals call for campaign finance reform is like Marv Albert scolding Mike Tyson for using his biting skills in an inappropriate manner. Democrats have had to return over $2 million, $2 million, Madam Speaker, because they raised illegal money from foreign sources. In a town awash in hypocrisy, Democrats, who ran roughshod over existing fundraising laws in the last election, are giving hypocrisy a bad name. One would expect the always fair, unbiased media to laugh them out of town when they hear the very same people who broke the law call for reform of the law. But here is the real shocker: The ever-balanced media, far from exposing their hypocrisy, are leading the way for calls in campaign finance reform. How many times have we heard our liberal elite friends in the media say, ``The real tragedy is not what is illegal but what is legal.'' Yes, shaking down impoverished Indian tribes, illegally mixing DNC funds with Teamster money, soliciting money from foreign nationals, laundering money and shredding evidence; no, I suppose that is not the real tragedy.”
