Indiana Congressman Steve Buyer visited Warsaw Tuesday to make himself available to Hoosiers and discuss his campaign. "I wanted to make myself available to you because we were supposed to have been done legislatively Oct.6 in Washington," Buyer said."We're obviously not." Buyer said Speaker of the House Dick Gephardt and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle are playing a political game to keep Congress in session and cause a backlash on the Republicans. "They're doing everything they can to delay, stall the legislation," said Buyer."They're holding us as long as they can." Buyer called it "political gamesmanship."Gephardt and Daschle are obstructing the process to make it appear as if the Republicans aren't getting the job done so they will lose credibility.Buyer is hoping Congress will be out of session by Friday or Saturday, which will give him two weeks to campaign against Democratic opponent Greg Goodnight.
