Harry Reid said "just one final comment. I believe that if 527s are doing things that are wrong, maybe we need to take a look at 527s but in conjunction with all the rest of the things that happen in campaign finance. I have no problem with that-- but not 527s alone. If we want to look at trade associations and all the other things, I am happy to do that, but let's not just single shot one of these because there are a lot of other things that need to be looked at at the same time. The distinguished Senator from Kentucky and I have had longstanding personal discussions off the Senate floor about campaign finance. We have had them on the floor. As I have indicated already, I have the greatest respect for how he feels. He is a real advocate for his position. I try to do the best I can for mine. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Thune). The Senator from Illinois." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
