Over the weekend I attended a University of Wisconsin football game, and for awhile I sat high in the second deck overlooking the campus and the beautiful Lake Mendota. As I stood there looking at over 80,000 people, I wondered what was going on in different people's minds. Some people were looking at beautiful Lake Mendota. Some people were looking at the beautiful college buildings: Vilas Hall and Van Vleck Hall. Other people were looking down on the football game. As I looked at the 80,000 people, I realized that some people looking at 80,000 people said: Wouldn't it be great if we hired all 80,000 people to be new IRS agents? Please, don't let this country become East Germany. Vote ``no.'' Mr. Speaker, I hope we all vote ``no'' on the reconciliation bill. ____________________

I think sometimes he says things that aren’t very presidential, and that hurts the Republican brand.
