“I ask my colleagues to think back to a broadcast which alarmed millions about a crisis that affected the entire Nation's security. Many believed it and were pushed to panic. If my colleagues think I am talking about Orson Welles' famous radio broadcast, ``War of the Worlds''--where America was being destroyed by an alien invasion, then they are right. If my colleagues thought I was talking about any of President Clinton's speeches on health care, where America's health care system can only be saved by being destroyed, then they are right again. On one hand we have Orson Welles and on the other we have something Orwellian, not Wellesian. On one hand we have the ``War of the Worlds'' and on the other we have the ``War of the Words.'' Unlike Orson Welles, who only gave his performance once, President Clinton has given his over and over to the American people. In the Clinton administration, words mean whatever they want them to mean and they do whatever they want to be done. In the case of health care they want more big government, more big spending, and more of your money. For a year they did nothing about health care, nothing about crime, nothing about campaign reform, and nothing about welfare. But not for a second have they ceased to talk about them. Stay tuned tomorrow, America--for another episode of rhetoric without reform.”
