It is the renaming of a post office. You dont want to talk about your record in the congress when it comes to protecting the elderly because you were one of the very few democrats to vote to nund mine Social Security by raising the retirement age and reducing the cost of living adjustment. This is an example of the way, colleen, you have been operating which is to try to talk about every single thing that you can come up with except your record in the congress and except my record in the senate. Brian, ill talk to you any day about my record especially in the areas where it comes to preserving jobs and creating jobs. Lets be also very clear about your problem. You keep saying i opposed this governor. He never did. Brian, i read every single testimony that was given and you never opposed the governor. You actually stood with him.

And it wasnt that big a deal, but it was a big deal and it led to even further big deals because in the aftermath of watergate we had the Rockefeller Commission and the Church Committee investigations that showed how deeply riddled the u. S. Government was with this kind of abuse of power. But watergate itself was much more than one burglary. That was actually the third burglary they had pulled off, and as repercussions you had the president resigning. At the same time you had the Vice President resigning.
