“aren't election year politics fun? Here yesterday President Clinton, following Bob Dole's lead, agreed to sign the Republican welfare bill. And then following Clinton, who was following Dole, 68 Democrats changed their vote from less than a month ago to pass this bill on an overwhelming bipartisan basis. Then, in the paper today Clinton is going to support the Hastert- Kassebaum Republican health care bill. Right under that, President Clinton is going to support the Republican clean drinking water bill. Add these to the fact that this party and this Congress has passed the line-item veto, securities reform litigation, a telecommunications bill, Social Security earnings limitation increase, lobbyist reform, a gift ban and the dissolving of 28 different committees and subcommittees. This Republican Party has made in this Congress a significant change in moving the country in the direction of less government. Thank goodness for election year politics.”
