Political Quotes

“I want to give one of the examples of what our motion to recommit will address. It is called Shape the Debate. This is the Web page from Shape the Debate, one of these clandestine organizations whose specialty is character assassination. Shape the Debate advertises to those who might contribute $100,000, $1 million or more. It advertises on the World Wide Web, so this can be Iraqi money or Cuban money or Chinese money or just homegrown special interest corporate treasury money, that the good thing about contributing to Shape the Debate is that it will not disclose to anyone who gave how much. That is the beauty to those who have discovered the 527 loophole, because their idea of shaping the debate is to do something that no one else of any political persuasion is doing in America today, and that is to use a secret stealth attack. The hitman can take the blood money to engage in that character assassination and one never knows, one never is able to trace the money. That is why our Republican colleagues think they cannot control the House in the future unless they rely on the money passing secretly by stealth to these 527 committees that totally subvert the Federal election laws.”
