last night President Clinton gave a great marching speech. Left-right, left-right, left-right. At times he was Reagan, at times he was Dukakis. But in the end it was the same old stuff, the White House weather vane rides again. In the final analysis of his 1 hour vague, meandering, heartwarming tales of innuendo, insinuations and soft truths, we were led to nowhere.

Let us today start with actions by passing the balanced budget amendment, go on to prohibit unfunded mandates, follow it up with the line-item veto, and the rest of the elements of the Contract With America, which is what the American people wanted and how they spoke November 8.
