ROBERT TORRICELLI

Scaling back the campaign finance reform bill may get more Republicans aboard, but it leaves many of us who have been involved in the reform movement for years in believing that we are doing something and accomplishing nothing.

Ten of those Republican incumbents, all of whom voted for the impeachment of President Clinton, are from states that Bill Clinton carried.

Nobody told me when I became a Democrat that that involved opposition to lower taxes.

It's not like Massachusetts, where they're baptized Democrats.

If you live long enough, you'll experience everything.

I will not be responsible for the loss of the Democratic majority in the United States Senate.

Let's deal with each other honestly.

The day that I was elected to the United States Senate remains among the most cherished of my life.

I can't see where there is anywhere left to move. If you don't have a recount it's hard to receive any more votes.

There were no gifts. Everything is properly accounted for. I provided testimony and evidence to the committee... This was all stuff that was previously known.
