“it is a great day to be a conservative Republican because last night the President came over to our side. He even declared an end to big government. Last night the President gave a ringing endorsement of the Republican revolution. He wants tax relief for working Americans. He wants a balanced budget. He wants to save Medicare from bankruptcy. He spoke of the importance of the family. He even advocated a get-tough policy on illegal immigration. Now that the President has come over, I now extend an invitation to my Democrat colleagues here in the House to join the cause of lower taxes and less government. Just in case my colleagues cannot wait, I brought along a change of party form that I am sure will be quite useful. Again, I welcome the President to the party of real balanced budgets, real welfare reform and lower taxes.”
