On the recordSeptember 25, 1996
If you think I am radical and extremist, you ought to see the people that elected me. And the reality is when we talk about the mind set change in Washington, what we are a reflection of is the people who sent us here. They sent us with a very clear message. And I am like Bob: The label of 'extremist' and 'radical,' that does not worry me, because I still carry the Contract. And I challenge any person who wants to debate policy to look at the Contract and tell me what is extreme, what is radical? What would you not attempt to achieve for the American people and/or families across this country? Because the reality is maybe we did not name this right. Maybe it should have been 'The Common Sense Contract With America,' because in fact that is what it reflects.
