A policy of retreat and withdrawal will only make America more vulnerable. |
Al Gore is running more than $60 million in attack ads, making his campaign the most negative in history. When it comes to experience, America can't afford Al Gore's experience of raising taxes, increasing the size of government, opposing bipartisan Medicare and Social Security reform, and not making education a priority. |
Al Gore may think Medicare is at a crossroads, but his plan puts it on a highway to bankruptcy. |
As the birthplace of Gen. George Armstrong Custer, we are curious if this will be Al Gore's last stand as well. |
Based upon where the state was in 1993, when the suit was filed, and where we are today, we've made dramatic progress and will improve upon that progress in the areas of outreach and enrollment efforts. |
Big companies have all the big tax advantages and breaks to provide health care. But if you are mom and pop, they don't enjoy those same types of advantages, and they should. |
Despite all of these grievances -- despite all of these fundamental concerns about the actions our country has taken -- it's only now, in the course of this campaign, that Dick Clarke decides to talk in the form of this book. |

Gore's attack on the Texas education system is a thinly veiled attempt to discredit the education reform and accountability measures that have taken place in states around the nation. While Gov. Bush is offering bold reforms for our public schools through accountability, high standards, and reading, Al Gore is making the case for the status quo. |
Governor Bush did not have any knowledge or participation in deciding to finance that movie. |
He doesn't have a personal relationship with him. |
He has chosen at this critical time, in the middle of a presidential campaign, to inject himself into the political debate. And he has every right to do so. But in so doing, his judgments -- his actions, or the lack thereof -- should also come under scrutiny. |
He understands that emotions are running high, that people are tired, people are angry and frustrated, particularly in the region. But at the end of the day, we've got to focus on improving the situation, saving lives and getting the recovery situation underway. The politics will be what they are. We will deal with it, but what the public wants more than anything else is to focus on the task at hand. |
He'll talk at length about leadership in our country -- what it means, why it's important to our security, and why it is critically important to maintain our economic leadership in the world. |
He's given momentum to an important part of the president's agenda. We see steady momentum building in his favor. |
