Political Quotes

“I believe that. The President is willing to compromise. If he can get any kind of limits on how much money is spent, I think he is going to sign the bill. An I think that is what they are afraid of. Mr. Speaker, what do they do? They come up with the only possible idea or notion to make the President not sign the bill. Okay, we will put more money in the process. Obviously the President is going to sign this bill. I am reminded of when the Congress rushed to pass campaign finance reform when President Bush indicated he was going to veto the bill. That bill got right over to the President's desk right away so the President could veto it, and everyone went home. But now we have a President that is over there at the White House waiting for a campaign finance reform bill, willing to sign it, pushing the Congress to try to get some kind of limits, and guess what? Congress is blinking. There is not going to be a campaign finance reform bill that is going to go to the President's desk. I will tell the gentleman that there is no greater failure of this Congress that the inability of the Congress to get a campaign finance reform bill over to the President's desk.”
