Notable Quotations
"The parties are a buffer against corruption. Parties solicit soft money and spend it supporting their candidates. The winners are beholden to the party and not individual donors. Soft money actually poses less danger of corruption than money given directly to a candidate’s campaign. The Democratic Party can hardly corrupt Al Gore; the same goes for the Republicans and George W. Bush." —John Samples, 2000
