Political Quotes

“Well, of course, President Clinton was reelected in a rather decisive victory over former Senator Bob Dole. The American people like the way America is moving forward. I am sure it has been painful for Senator Gramm and others who opposed the President's suggested policy to get America back on track to realize they were wrong. The facts have shown them to be wrong. In fact, we have had the longest period of growth and prosperity in America's economic history. They want to change that, I say to the Senator from Nevada. Their Presidential candidate, George W. Bush, doesn't like the way things have been going. He thinks that instead of the policies that have brought America forward, we ought to change it all--a dramatic, radical, and risky tax cut that would go to the wealthiest people in America. When I asked the Republicans in the Senate to vote up or down on whether they want to stand by Governor Bush, they came in with a substitute. They want to change the subject and invent a tax that they cannot even identify with Vice President Al Gore. Vice President Gore has not called for a $3 gas tax increase. I think the Vice President is right to heighten our awareness of the need to do something to improve air quality in America.”
