                  LIBERALS CREATED THE SYSTEM WE HAVE

  (Mr. ADERHOLT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ADERHOLT. Madam Speaker, I am truly struck by the volume and 
breadth of passion displayed by our liberal friends on the other side. 
Their compassion and zeal for campaign finance reform is touching, to 
say the least. And when they chant over and over ``the system is rotten 
to the core,'' I am really impressed.
  But then I started thinking, something that liberals never want 
people to do. I started thinking about the system. And you know what, 
Madam Speaker? Liberals created the system we have. For liberals to 
come to the floor and bemoan the system is just a little misplaced and 
more than a little insincere.

  Madam Speaker, liberals realize the trouble the White House and the 
DNC are getting into, and they know they have been sold out. The 
liberals do not want campaign finance reform, they want to change the 
subject.
