“I know many Americans and also an awful lot of people in Washington, D.C., are focusing intently on what is going on in New Hampshire, not only tonight but over the past several weeks. We are obviously in the midst of a presidential primary season. It is very exciting to watch the democratic process playing itself out seeing who is going to be elected the next President of this great republic. It has not been too surprising to see the differences between the Republican and the Democratic Party. The Republicans obviously have five or six conservative candidates whose fight mainly centers around who wants to cut taxes more, who wants to cut the size and scope of this mammoth bureaucracy, who wants to spend less and promote greater freedoms for individuals across the country. Likewise, it is not a surprise that the Democratic primary has been consumed by battles, a left-wing battle for those swinging wildly for the most extreme elements of the Democratic left, whether it be in Iowa or New Hampshire. They are fighting for bigger government. They are fighting for higher taxes, fighting for Federal funding of abortion on demand, not only here but also across the globe, and they are also fighting for socializing medicine, the same schemes that were rejected in 1994 by Americans. Now, that is also not a surprise to most observers. But what is surprising, I think, to many observers have been the exploits of the Democratic front runner, Albert Gore.…”
