New Questions About Attacking Iraq ; Is Torturing Terrorists Necessary ?
[]
ace_arguments_train_1
Well , we 'll debate that later on in the show .
[]
ace_arguments_train_2
We 'll have a couple of experts come out , so I 'll withhold my comments until then .

Even as the secretary of homeland security was putting his people on high alert last month , a 30-foot Cuban patrol boat with four heavily armed men landed on American shores , utterly undetected by the Coast Guard Secretary Ridge now leads .

Now , why has our president placed homeland security in the hands of Republican political hacks instead of professionals , by the way ?
[]
ace_arguments_train_5
Attorney General John Ashcroft , for example , is a career politician .
[]
ace_arguments_train_6
He lost an election to a dead man .

Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge is another career politician who was passed over by Mr. Bush for the vice presidency .
[]
ace_arguments_train_8
And Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Asa Hutchinson is yet another career politician and a graduate of the disgraceful Bob Jones University .
[]
ace_arguments_train_9
Apparently , Mr. Bush only turns to professionals when it 's really important , like political consulting .
[]
ace_arguments_train_10
Paul , as I understand your definition of a political -- of a professional politician based on that is somebody who is elected to public office .

ace_arguments_train_11
Now in your administration , the Clinton administration , there were these members of the cabinet who by your definition were professional politicians -- Lloyd Bentsen , Les Aspin , William S. Cohen , Janet Reno , Bruce Babbitt , Mike Espy , Dan Glickman , Norman Mineta , Henry Cisneros , Federico Pena , Bill Richardso...

And you know what , they did a hell of a job for our country .

And these bozos let four armed Cubans land on our shores when they 're trying to make a high terrorist alert .

ace_arguments_train_14
Our president has put homeland security in the hands of failed Republican hacks .
[]
ace_arguments_train_15
Hire professionals , Mr. President .
[ { "span_id": "span_0", "start": 5, "length": 13, "labels": { "event_argument": { "role": "Person", "event_type": "Personnel:Start-Position", "entity_type": "PER:Group" } }, "tags": [] } ]
ace_arguments_train_16
So it 's OK -- it 's OK to have professional politicians at the Justice Department and the Pentagon ...
[]
ace_arguments_train_17
Janet Reno was a career prosecutor .
[]
ace_arguments_train_18
Just a minute , let me finish my sentence , please .
[]
ace_arguments_train_19
It 's OK to put Democratic career politicians at the Pentagon and the Justice Department if they 're Democrats but not if they 're Republicans , is that right ?
[ { "span_id": "span_0", "start": 16, "length": 29, "labels": { "event_argument": { "role": "Person", "event_type": "Personnel:Start-Position", "entity_type": "PER:Group" } }, "tags": [] }, { "span_id": "span_1", "start": 49, "length": 12, ...
ace_arguments_train_20
No , the difference is Janet Reno was a career prosecutor .

-LRB- CROSSTALK -RRB-

ace_arguments_train_22
John Ashcroft was n't half the woman that Janet Reno was .
[]
ace_arguments_train_23
Another potential Democratic presidential candidate pondered whether to run , and he made his announcement , and surprise , surprise , the answer was no .
[]
ace_arguments_train_24
Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut made the announcement today that he would not be the 10th candidate for the nomination .
[ { "span_id": "span_0", "start": 89, "length": 37, "labels": { "event_argument": { "role": "Person", "event_type": "Personnel:Nominate", "entity_type": "PER:Individual" } }, "tags": [] } ]
ace_arguments_train_25
Why not ?
[]
ace_arguments_train_26
Surely Chris Dodd is at least more credible than Carol Moseley-Braun or Dennis Kucinich .
[]
ace_arguments_train_27
He explained he could better spend the next two years on homeland security , the economy and judicial nominations .
[]
ace_arguments_train_28
I guess that means harassing Tom Ridge , fighting tax cuts and obstructing President Bush 's plans to reform judiciary .
[]
ace_arguments_train_29
Some two years .
[]
ace_arguments_train_30
God , I hope so .
[]
ace_arguments_train_31
that 's all I can say .
[]
ace_arguments_train_32
I love Senator Dodd .
[]
ace_arguments_train_33
He would have brought a lot to the race .
[]
ace_arguments_train_34
He brings a lot to the Senate and to the debate .
[]
ace_arguments_train_35
And I 'm glad that he 's going to be fighting those fights .
[]
ace_arguments_train_36
Well , the Commerce Department reports today that consumer spending declined in January and that the manufacturing sector slowed in February .
[]
ace_arguments_train_37
In all , two million Americans have lost their jobs under President Bush so far , not to mention three of them being the top three leaders of his economic team .

Meanwhile , the deficit now at $ 300 billion .
[]
ace_arguments_train_39
It could swell to as much as $ 500 billion if we go to war in Iraq .

ace_arguments_train_40
Mr. Bush apparently is untroubled by this fiscal collapse .
[]
ace_arguments_train_41
One of his aides tells the current issue of `` TIME , '' magazine , quote , `` even if it 's $ 500 billion , so what ? ''
[]
ace_arguments_train_42
Of course , even a $ 500 billion deficit number does n't count the $ 3 trillion Mr. Bush is robbing from the Social Security trust fund .
[]
ace_arguments_train_43
You know , we should have known , every time George W. Bush gets in trouble , he borrows from a trust fund .
[]
ace_arguments_train_44
It 's been his whole life , you know .
[]
ace_arguments_train_45
Let me give you two economic facts of like , which you should know , even if you wo n't recognize them .
[]
ace_arguments_train_46
Number one , there is absolutely no relationship between the deficit and unemployment .
[]
ace_arguments_train_47
They do n't go together .
[]
ace_arguments_train_48
And number two , there is no Social Security fund , Virginia .
[]
ace_arguments_train_49
There just is n't one .
[]
ace_arguments_train_50
Because Bush squandered it on his tax cuts .
[]
ace_arguments_train_51
There never has been one .
[]
ace_arguments_train_52
There has been one for 60 years .

Senator Dale Bumpers has just published a memoir called `` The Best Lawyer in a One-Lawyer Town . ''
[]
ace_arguments_train_56
And it spans his life from the depression era to the Clinton era .
[]
ace_arguments_train_57
Let 's ask him which was more depressing .
[]
ace_arguments_train_58
First , thank you for writing this book .
[]
ace_arguments_train_59
It is extraordinary .
[]
ace_arguments_train_60
It is wonderful .
[]
ace_arguments_train_61
And then we read you one passage .

ace_arguments_train_62
You cite a session you had with President Lyndon Johnson in Austin , I guess , at his ranch , right ?

Here is what you quote our President Johnson to you .
[]
ace_arguments_train_64
`` When I was majority leader , and later president , I spent all my time pulling every power string I could find to pull , trying to pass bills that helped people .

ace_arguments_train_65
That made their lives better and the country stronger .
[]
ace_arguments_train_66
That 's what the Democrats stand for . ''
[]
ace_arguments_train_67
`` Republicans ?
[]
ace_arguments_train_68
Republicans just stand for two things : protecting the rich and investigation Democrats . ''
[]
ace_arguments_train_69
That 's true , though , is n't it ?
[]
ace_arguments_train_70
Johnson was right , was n't he ?
[]
ace_arguments_train_71
I thought that was one of the most prescient things I ever heard , and that was long before White Water .
[]
ace_arguments_train_72
He never heard of Ken Starr , but he anticipated it .
[]
ace_arguments_train_73
Nothing ever changes , Paul .
[]
ace_arguments_train_74
Can I interrupt this Democratic picnic for just a minute ?
[]
ace_arguments_train_75
You know , Senator , inadvertently , you gave support in this book to one of my pet political themes , which you probably do n't agree with .
[]
ace_arguments_train_76
On page 256 you say , `` As the years went by '' -- this is when you were in the Senate -- `` less and less information was new , fewer and fewer arguments were fresh , and the repetitiveness of the old arguments became tiresome . ''
[]
ace_arguments_train_77
`` I was becoming almost as cynical as my constituents .
[]
ace_arguments_train_78
I knew it was time to leave . ''

ace_arguments_train_79
Is n't that a great argument for term limits ?
[]
ace_arguments_train_80
I know very few senators or any who are as good in their third term as they are in their first term .
[]
ace_arguments_train_81
Should n't we limit them to two terms ?
[]
ace_arguments_train_82
First of all , that statement is not designed to cover everybody in the United States Senate .
[]
ace_arguments_train_83
But I must say , that 's a pretty accurate statement .
[]
ace_arguments_train_84
But it has nothing do with term limits , in my opinion .
[]
ace_arguments_train_85
I think term limits is the worst idea I ever heard of .
[]
ace_arguments_train_86
-LRB- APPLAUSE -RRB-
[]
ace_arguments_train_87
Amen .
[]
ace_arguments_train_88
I tried at least .
[]
ace_arguments_train_89
Let me turn one more page , to page 257 , actually , right next door to where Bob was reading .
[]
ace_arguments_train_90
This struck me because you 've got the courage to say something that is heretical today and it 's music to my ears .
[]
ace_arguments_train_91
You say , `` Partisanship has taken on an odious connotation , and it may indeed be shriller now than ever .
[]
ace_arguments_train_92
But we should n't lose sight of the fact that we have two political parties so people will have choices .
[]
ace_arguments_train_93
If everybody agreed on everything , it might be a tranquil society , but it surely would be a dole one , and certainly not certainly a good one . ''
[]
ace_arguments_train_94
You know , Paul , that 's the reason we have two parties , so people have a choice .
[]
ace_arguments_train_95
And I 've said many times , if we all agreed on everything , everybody would want to marry Betty and we would really be in a mess , would n't we , Bob ?

Senator Bumpers , of the 22 senators of the old confederacy , when I got to Washington with the Associated Press , 45 years ago , 22 of them were Democrats , nine were Republicans .
[ { "span_id": "span_0", "start": 67, "length": 1, "labels": { "event_argument": { "role": "Artifact", "event_type": "Movement:Transport", "entity_type": "PER:Individual" } }, "tags": [] }, { "span_id": "span_1", "start": 92, "length": 20, ...
ace_arguments_train_97
Now 13 are Republicans and nine are Democrats .
[]
ace_arguments_train_98
And of the Democrats , I do n't think there is a real liberal .
[]
ace_arguments_train_99
Your last year in the Senate I had an interview with you and I wrote a column called `` The Last Southern Liberal . ''
