Political Quotes

“on Monday, April 2, the Senate took long awaited action to approve legislation to address what the American people believe is the single most egregious abuse of our campaign finance system--that is the unlimited flow of soft money permeating our elections system. If the McCain-Feingold legislation did nothing else but close the soft money loophole, it would still be reform. But my colleagues have accomplished much more in this legislation. I congratulate Senators McCain and Feingold for their vision in recognizing the powerfully negative influence of the money chase on our political system and their dogged persistence and patience in striving to craft a consensus on reform legislation that seeks to address the worst aspects of the current system. But the Senate would not have passed this bill were it not for the equally determined leadership of Tom Daschle and the Democratic caucus.”
