On the recordOctober 28, 1999
I want to follow up on that. I said earlier I think the ads are fair in light of the fact that Democrats have voted against the lockbox several times this year. Certainly the Senator would agree the Senator's party has run ads. I was the recipient of $3 million worth of soft money ads that accused me of wanting to do everything except take away Christmas from the people in this country. What has mainly come out in this colloquy on your side of the aisle is that the Senator has stated a good case why it is better to be in the majority than in the minority.
