On the recordJanuary 25, 1996
I wonder if the President has joined the flood of other former Democrats that have switched parties? If you watched the same State of the Union speech I did, one might think so. But it is really not what the President said that matters, because he had said it all before. What matters is what he does. I was hoping the President would present a real plan to reduce the size of government, lower taxes, save Medicare, and reform the failed welfare system. Instead he gave us a mirage filled with double speak. It looks good from a distance, but the closer you get, the more you realize nothing is there. The President cannot have it both ways. Our future is too important to risk with a mirage. Now it is time to draw the line in the sand, and stand up for our principles. The old adage is 'Actions speak louder than words.' The President has given us a lot of words. Now he needs to follow up with his actions.
