“Well, what this editorial had to do with was when we introduced our plan to save and protect Medicare and the Democrats started demagoguing it through fear because, as Mrs. Seastrand said, they had no plan of their own. So what this does is says the Democrats, what they are doing is pretty crummy stuff. They are engaged in demagoguery big time and it is wrong, and it goes on to say that the Republicans have a plan, the Democrats do not. The Republican plan is gutsy and the Democratic TV ads are just scare tactics. I think the sad thing here is that we are in a debate right now where, frankly, neither side is gaining because neither side has credibility, because the American people hear us, they think well, they have a good point. Then they hear the Democrats, they say, well, I did not know that. After a while they do not know who to believe. That is why I was so disappointed tonight when the Democrats would not yield us time to have a dialogue, and I was further disappointed when we tried to yield time to them. But we have to have a dialogue back and forth that puts America center stage, not Republicans and not Democrats but America, what is good for your mother, what is good for mine, and also what is good for my children and your children.”
