“House Democrats, searching vainly for an issue to sidetrack the Contract With America, have now decided to attack the Speaker regarding a book he has not written yet. Instead of attacking Republicans for writing books, I suggest the Democrats write their own book. The suggested title might be 'The Gang That Wouldn't Shoot Straight.' After all, Democrats are not being straight with the American people regarding their own agenda. They are not being straight on why they do not want to pass the balanced budget amendment. In fact, they want to spend more money. They are not being straight with the American people on why they opposed the unfunded mandates bill. In fact, they like unfunded mandates. Mr. Speaker, the Democrats are the gang that will not be straight with the American people. Republicans want to change the way Government works. Democrats want to change the subject.”
