“You know, if you cannot argue substance, attack the person; if you cannot argue substance, you make outrageous and frivolous claims; and if you cannot argue substance, you throw out smokescreens and red herrings. That is what seems to be the tack of the Democrat Party today. You know, we need your help, we need it on the balanced budget amendment. You cannot balance the budget by frequent flyer points. We need your help on unfunded mandates. Granted, most of them came from your party. The mayors and the county commissioners across America want relief. We need your help on ethics. Maybe you can find time to talk to Mr. Gephardt to get your side of the aisle moving on ethics. We need your help on welfare reform. Maybe you have some ideas. you have great rhetoric. We are now interested in your ideas. I hope you will put your ideas in front of your party interests and work for the betterment of America.”
