Quotes

I think we need to have an understanding here, that the larger issue is public financing. All these people who are running for president are good people, but we have a system that - it's a bad system. It requires people to do the kinds of pirouettes and gymnastics to make it appear that they're pure and chaste while their opponents are not. The truth is that the whole system is rotten and that only public financing, a constitutional amendment which would overturn Buckley v. Valeo, will rescue our politics from private control. Until then, we're going to continue to see our politics in America be as an auction, where policy is sold to the highest bidder.
