Political Quotes

“No, Arkansas changed its slogan from ``Land of Opportunity'' to ``Natural State.'' I want America to be the land of opportunity, and it is. It is. The worst news for Governor Clinton and the worst news for the liberals that control the United States Congress is they've been telling us all along that we've been in a recession. We have grown for six straight quarters, and this quarter grew at 2.7 percent. They're telling us that we're worse than Japan, Germany, and Europe. We are better than they are, and we're going to make it better still and move this country ahead. Yes, people are hurting. Yes, people are hurting, but now with things beginning to move, let's not go back and take us back to the tax- and-spend days that brought us real ruin. Governor Clinton--you know, you've been reading he talks about investment, we need more money so we have Government invest. Let me tell you something. Government never made a sound investment in human beings in their life, or in jobs. It's the small business that makes investment. Let's help small business: less taxes, less regulation. Just so we tell it straight before people go to the polls, talking about investment, here's what Governor Clinton said in 1988 in Newsweek. He said, ``There's a lot of evidence you can sell people on tax increases if they think it's an investment.'' That was what he said 4 years ago. Now we hear that cry, ``investment.'' What he means is, America, watch your wallets. He's coming after you in taxes. We are not going to let the middle class pay for that scam. It is a scam. Change, change, change, change, says Clinton and the Ozone Man. Change, change, change, change, change. That's all you're going to have left if he gets in there with more taxes and more Government spending. You know why I call him Ozone Man? Let me tell you something, our administration has taken the lead on CFC's internationally, the thing that causes concern for the ozone. We brought you the Clean Air Act. We've done better on forests. We've cleaned up the oceans and the beaches. But we are not going to go to the extremes like Gore and Clinton when they say, ``We want Federal fuel efficiency standards at 40 to 45 miles per gallon.'' You've got some great auto workers in this State. I am going to keep them at work, not throw them out of work. Change, change, Governor Clinton got in a huddle with the handlers, and they said keep talking about change. Let me remind you of what it was like when we had a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress. We had change. We had interest rates at 21 percent. We had inflation at 15. We had a ``misery index'' at 20 percent. We don't need that kind of change for America. What we need instead is a positive agenda. We've got one for rebuilding our schools, for reforming health care, for creating jobs through less spending, less taxation, and more tax breaks for these businesses. Governor Clinton--I can just feel it, these liberals, they want to expand Government, and I want to expand the American dream. Now let's talk trust, and let's talk character, because they do matter. I love it when that national talking-head media take me on. I love it, because I like a good fight. There's no reason my holding back anymore. Audience members. Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!”
