On the recordFebruary 1, 1995
from the home office back in Scottsdale, AZ, the top 10 reasons liberal Democrats oppose our Contract With America: No. 10: Ideas? We don't need your stinking ideas. No. 9: Book envy. No. 8: Would you Republicans shut up? We are watching the O.J. trial. No. 7: Al Gore, what a guy! No. 6: 'Tis better to have taxed and lost than never to have taxed at all. No. 5: Never make a promise you might have to keep. No. 4: Would rather follow the P.T. Barnum maxim, 'Never give the taxpayer an even break.' No. 3: Profits? What are profits? Are they evil? No. 2: Hey, what happened? We thought the status quo was pretty good. And the No. 1 reason Democrats oppose our Contract With America: Republicans, with our contract, are trying to change this Congress. Democrats would rather change the subject.
