Senate Republicans have criticized the sweeping tobacco legislation proposed by Sen. John McCain. In a Newsmaker interview, Sen. McCain, chair of the Commerce Committee, discusses his troubled bill. SEN. TRENT LOTT, Majority Leader: You know, I'm from a state that obviously has been involved in all this tobacco settlement issue, but as I travel around the state, nobody asks about that. REP. NEWT GINGRICH, Speaker of the House: They want bigger bureaucracies. They want higher taxes. They want more government. What does that have to do with smoking? We're prepared to pass an anti-smoking bill. We're prepared to focus on stopping kinds from smoking. Now, does the President want to stop kids from smoking, or does he want a smoke screen behind which he gets higher taxes, bigger bureaucracy, and bigger government? pbs.org
