Political Quotes

“the most fundamental way that we can reform the way the Congress does business is to pass campaign finance reform. The Republican leadership today will renege on that promise to offer real, substantive campaign finance reform. It will happen today. We had an opportunity. We were going to have reform week, and we have nothing. Now we have the Republicans presenting a bill before this House, calling it reform, that is a phony fraud. Campaign finance reform is up, and not one Member of the Republican Party got up before this House in one-minutes to defend their piece of fraud legislation. Does that not speak volumes about today's debate? Not one of them would get up and defend the campaign finance reform bill that they are going to present before this House today. It is a disgrace. We need to change our campaign finance system and we cannot get a bill to do it. They want to increase influence. Not one of their Members will come down and defend their bill. America is watching today, and Republicans will pay the price in November.”
