None of us want it to expire. It is only the president who is basically playing chicken with us.
I tell you, he's President George Bush, not King George Bush. This is not the system of government we have and that we fought for.
The problem is soft money, ... The question is, which candidate is willing and ready to fight for an end to soft money. It's no contest. There is only one candidate and that is Vice President Al Gore.
The president has, I think, made up a law that we never passed.
The president ... fails to understand the limited role the US military should play in Iraq's long-term political and economic reconstruction efforts. Our brave servicemen and women won a resounding victory in the military operation, and their task is largely over.
