“allow me to restate what President Eisenhower said a long time ago, and I quote: ``In all those things which deal with people, be human. In all those things which deal with people's money, or their economy, or their form of government, be conservative and do not be afraid to use the word.'' And so today, Republicans come forward with programs in which there are such words as ``balanced budgets,'' and ``cutting expenditures,'' and all the kind of things that mean this economy must be conservative, it must be solvent. But they also come forward and say we are concerned with every American's health, with a decent house for him, and we are concerned that he will have a chance for health and his children for education. We are going to see that he has power available to him. We are going to see that everything takes place that will enrich his life and let him as an individual, hard-working American citizen have full opportunity to do for his children and his family what any decent American should want to do. These remarks were made by President Eisenhower in 1954, and they are still ringing true today for the American people and the Republican party. Let the other side stop their demagoguing and begin supporting a conservative government that reflects rather than undermines the values that have made America great: Faith, family, personal freedom and responsibility.”
