On the recordApril 16, 1996
If you look at these ads, negative ads, there is no hope. Everything is negative, negative, negative in the attack I am taking. Bad balanced budget, bad welfare reform, bad tax relief, bad this and that. There is no hope in these ads. And because there is nothing, let us face it, their ideas are bankrupt after 40 years. There is no hope in their ideas. And so what do they do? All they have left is to just condemn and to attack. And it would be something if they could offer alternatives to the situations at hand today for the problems that need to be solved across this Nation, but it is all the same. Their answer is usually more, bigger, more dollars here from Washington, DC.
