it is fascinating to me to watch how the people's work is set aside. I understand the political principle at work. Why go on the defensive? Always be on the offense. Always be involved in misdirection. I guess if I had to defend the legacy of shame that has been brought and heaped upon this country by those who willingly, knowingly took campaign donations from the Communist Chinese, then I guess I would scramble and profess shock and dismay about the current campaign finance structure. Mr. Chairman, I have said it before; I will say it again: for this crowd to stand in this Chamber and lecture us and the American people on campaign finance reform is akin to Bonnie and Clyde, at the height of their crime spree, holding a press conference to call for tougher penalties on bank robbery. It is sad. It is despicable. The true search for truth would demand that we look at those who would willingly solicit campaign donations from foreign powers.
