Political Quotes

“last night in his State of the Union Address, the President suggested we put 100,000 more policemen on the beat. That is something that he had suggested in his 1992 campaign, and yet not one piece of legislation came out of his administration to do that job. Why? Because his administration could not prioritize the funding needed to put those 100,000 more policemen on the beat. It is not just here that the President could not find the necessary funding. The fact is that this administration has not given a priority to crime fighting anywhere. There are less Federal prosecutors on the job than were there when President Clinton took office. There are 250 fewer FBI agents on the beat. There was no new graduating class of FBI agents in 1993. The drug czars' office, where drug crime fighting is coordinated, has been emasculated. Meantime, the Surgeon General in this administration is running around the country talking about legalizing drugs. Middle-class America wants a real crime fight. This administration has not even gotten into the ring.”
